Health Professionals near Spring Lake, NC

Do you have a health challenge that you've struggled to overcome...even with medical help? Sometimes it seems like achieving a healthy weight, great digestion, and high energy may be impossible to achieve...and that prospect can be daunting. As an experienced Registered and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist, I approach healthcare differently. I find and address root causes, provide individualized, realistic plans, and support you along your journey. The result is healthcare actually makes you healthier.

A recent study showed that the average American has gained 16 pounds during COVID. With each unhealthy increase in BMI you are likely not feeling your best and are putting yourself at risk for chronic diseases. If you are having trouble keeping a healthy weight and unsure of what to eat? Maybe you feel like you are doing everything right, but still aren't seeing the results you want. If you have tried "diets" but find yourself frustrated, let's try a different approach.

My training allows me to address a wide variety of conditions. I have frequently treated people that have nowhere left to turn for relief. I try to treat the most immediate pain-causing issues, while also treating the musculo-skeletal(postural) patterns that are at the root of the pain. Most problems are not where the pain is being felt, so I use observation, client history, and just plain intuition sometimes to find the original trauma.

Optimal health is not just about managing medical conditions; it's about reclaiming one’s agency, embracing cultural heritage, and nurturing overall well-being. By providing personalized guidance, ongoing support, and a deep understanding of different unique needs, this will help empowers one to thrive and flourish, one healthy choice at a time. Together, we can embark on this journey towards health and wellness, honoring culture, resilience, and inherent worth every step of the way.

It's time for you to start feeling good again. Our dietitians use a functional and integrative approach to identify nutritional imbalances and deficiencies that are interacting with your health. By identifying the root causes, we can treat, reverse and prevent chronic diseases rather than just putting a band aid on the problem. We offer cutting edge nutrition interventions like Nutragenomic testing, micronutrient testing, metabolism testing, and food sensitivity testing, and Gut microbiome testing. You will get solutions that go well beyond general nutrition information as we help put the puzzle pieces together.

Acupuncture has become a highly popular form of complementary health care because of its relatively low cost and its noninvasive nature. In this gentle form of medicine, I design each treatment uniquely to address imbalance as it is specifically experienced by each individual. Symptoms are viewed in relationship to the totality of a person in order to explore the root cause of an illness or discomfort.

I have been providing acupuncture services to the triangle area since 2006 and am committed to helping you achieve your health care goals using acupuncture, Chinese herbal remedies, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These effective modalities can help whether you are dealing with infertility, want to decrease chronic pain, address frequent headaches/migraines, or have stress that has been building up and is causing problems like insomnia, anxiety, or depression. If you are tired of taking medication and being sent from doctor to doctor, then it's time to give TCM a try for personalized care and 1:1 attention!
