Awestruck is a word she uses often to describe her observation of the resilience of the human spirit to heal in the midst of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. She loves helping her patients to cultivate their own inner physician as much as she loves helping to facilitate the healing power of community. She believes, based on her own health challenges as well as those of her patients, that when the student is ready, the teacher always appears.

She has a passion for teaching her patients about the innate healing abilities of the body/mind/spirit and for finding the most gentle and effective treatments that address the root cause. She is a strong advocate of nutritional therapies and utilizes functional testing (including comprehensive hormonal, genetic, gut microbiome, nutritional and immune testing ) when needed  to uncover specific imbalances in biochemical pathways that are critical to optimal health and wellness. This approach is especially well-suited for patients who are ready and willing to take responsibility for their own health and lifestyle choices.  She has long questioned the notion that we have to deteriorate  as we age and offers specific lifestyle strategies to help her patients thrive at every stage of their lives.

When she is not sharing her passion for healing with her patients, you will find her spending time with her daughters, her family, and friends, dreaming up her next exotic off-the-beaten-track adventure, enjoying Nature, climbing mountains, backpacking, hanging out in her garden with her naughty chickens, practicing yoga, dancing, or simply exploring fully what it means to be an unbounded human spirit residing in a human body.

The body starts to speak.

It starts out with a whisper,

But if it is not addressed,

It gets louder and louder

until it becomes a deafening noise.

This noise-   relentless aches and pains, debilitating fatigue, brain fog and memory issues, chronic headaches, indigestion misery, PMS, depression, anxiety, sleep problems, hot flashes, low libido, lack of joy and vitality in life- eventually demands full attention.

Chances are if you have found me, you are ready to listen to what your body is saying and ready to do what it takes to get back into balance.  What if these messages and symptoms are not here to make you stumble, but rather to help bring you back into balance with Nature’s wisdom and your own true essence?  I would be honored to stand beside you on this journey and guide you in accessing this inner wisdom that is always there within you.
