The human body is a system, complex, intertwined and in rhythm with family, community and universe. As a system, it is managed by the endocrine system, or your hormones. Each stage of growth, development, change and adaptation is managed by the hormonal and autonomic nervous system. Understanding the critical aspects of you that allow you to adapt either effectively or ineffectively and maintain healthy or unhealthy homeodynamics is my passion. I want to hear your story, understand your physiology and provide the guidance and treatment specific to your needs to allow you to live a healthy and vibrant life.

Take time to take care of yourself with my in-home therapeutic massage to relax, balance, and breath in wellness energy bodywork.

Active stretching helps my clients lengthen, strengthen, and condition their muscular fascia restoring flexibility. I also incorporate deep tissue, strain counterstrain, and myoskeletal therapy to release scar tissue in surrounding joints and areas difficult to release with common stretching. These techniques help realign muscle fibers for greater mobility and stability.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I treat the whole person. A visit with me involves looking for the root cause of illness and addressing that, not just doing symptom relief. I enjoy spending time with my patients to help them really understand what's happening in their body. Western medicine has a "one size fits all" mentality, but we know that each person has different needs and doesn't always fit in the box.

My approach to health is collaborative and holistic; I want to understand who you are and how the imbalance/pain/disease originated, so that we can help the body heal. I typically employ deep acupressure before doing acupuncture, a unique style, and use food, herbs and supplements to strengthen the body. I enjoy teaching people about the traditional oriental philosophy and methods, and also teach relaxation practices and yoga poses.
