Many of the people I work with are living with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions and feel frustrated by ongoing symptoms such as fatigue, pain, digestive issues, brain fog, or food sensitivities. Often, they are following healthy advice but still don’t feel well. I help clients make sense of these patterns and understand how nutrition and inflammation are connected in their own bodies.

Smart healthcare and results are my passion! Using a body constitution approach, I tailor treatments for nerve and joint pain, gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders. Knowing your particular body constitution is vital since your treatment could be completely different from someone else even if you have the exact same symptoms and diagnosis. What you eat is also very important so you know how to maintain the treatments you receive from me. As part of my care, every patient receives comprehensive dietary and lifestyle activities counseling.
