I’m a Naturopathic Doctor. My focus is working with people who are struggling with chronic symptoms/disease, chronic inflammation and autoimmunity. This could be a 22 year old with IBS and anxiety, a 42 woman in perimenopause with a mysterious skin rash, or a 60 year old with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Chronic disease can be any number of clearly diagnosed diseases or it can be the messy mishmash of vague, nagging symptoms (ex: fatigue, digestive upset, acne, hair loss, pain, etc..) that make you feel bad, but your MD says all your lab tests are "normal" and then offers you an antidepressant.

Do you feel like something is off in your body, but you can’t get clear answers? Maybe you’re dealing with bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, or thyroid concerns like Hashimoto’s. Have been told your labs are “normal,” yet you still don’t feel like yourself.
For many women in midlife, these symptoms are connected. When digestion is not working well, the body may struggle to absorb and use key nutrients. When minerals are depleted or out of balance, energy, metabolism, sleep, mood, digestion, and stress resilience can all be affected.

Acupuncture is your way to health and vitality. Through a compassionate approach I empower people to awaken their inner potential to heal, feel better, and participate in life again. Treatment rooted in theory that has been proven for thousands of years; acupuncture regulates the neuroendocrine system, increases blood flow, creates new tissue, activates the parasympathetic nervous system putting you in a healing state, elicits a chemical response in the brain, and helps your brain and body communicate efficiently. General benefits of receiving acupuncture are increased energy, better sleep, decreased stress, and relief from pain.

It is not often we are encouraged to honor our bodies needs. We live in world that teaches us to "watch it" and "have it together", especially around weight and food. Unfortunately, this constant pressure to "be good" can play a role in constant dieting, restricting, binging, purging and an all or nothing attitude around exercise. Fortunately, we can make peace with food and our bodies again. My approach of somatic nutrition therapy and coaching teaches intuitive eating and body wisdom skills to learn to trust our bodies again.
