As a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist I practice family medicine, meaning I have experience treating patients of all ages, from newborn infants to those over 100 years old! I have experience treating a vast array of medical conditions with both naturopathic and chinese medicine, and choose either the best style for each individual, or a combined approach depending on the patient's preference, and what I think is best suited for them. I really enjoy applying the foundations of natural medicine to each patient, and have found the results to be nothing short of amazing!

Almost any condition can be successfully treated with acupuncture because the goal is to correct the imbalances that are the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms. I find acupuncture is particularly beneficial for those with any type of pain: headaches, back pain, muscle, joint and nerve pain. It is also helpful for those with endocrine/hormonal issues, PMS, irregular periods, menopausal symptoms, digestive issues, abdominal pain, constipation, and diarrhea. Also: anxiety, insomnia; high blood pressure, stress management, chronic fatigue. People with colds, sore throats, asthma, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, and dermatitis can also find relief with acupuncture.

Mind. Body. Spirit. The three aspects of what makes each of us who we are – all vitally important to consider and address in the journey toward optimal health. Going beyond treating individual diagnoses, my goal is to step back and examine the whole person. Those three components feed into everything we do and everything we are. Each individual is in a unique place and I work with each person toward their own specific wellness goals.

Sam’s ideal client is an adult (18+) navigating blood sugar challenges such as newly diagnosed Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or reactive hypoglycemia.

The goal of my clinic is to restore a person's body to balance and optimal health. This is accomplished by using the constituents of the body, such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and neurotransmitters as well as addressing physical and energetic mis-alignments. Success is also achieved by considering as many aspects of a person as possible, or treating the whole person, and not just relieving a set of isolated ailments; the premise behind Naturopathic medicine is to find the root cause of illness and to address health concerns at their very core, rather than focusing solely on symptoms.
