My Story

I developed a passion for holistic and organic living very early in life. I spent most of my childhood gardening, cooking, and learning at the side of my vegetarian mother and grandmothers - creating recipes and meals from scratch.

As I aged, I developed challenges of my own. I went to doctor after doctor to find different opinions, but never a solution. I began to explore different ways to restore my balance. I read the health-related magazines and soon healed myself through homeopathy, diet and nutrition.

As a teen, I was very influenced by the Prevention and Organic Gardening magazines of the 60s. Organic farming goes beyond merely trying to sustain our broken conventional systems. Over time, it can actually renew, restore, and regenerate the health of our impoverished soil and positively impact the health of our entire ecosystem. I feel the same way about caring for ourselves. I see the parallels in caring for ourselves in organic ways to restore balance

and return to health.

Why I practice integrative medicine.

I feel the only way to change the future is through a whole family approach to healthcare. Through treating several generations of families over the years, I have seen how good preventative and non-suppressive medical care can create a stronger individual over a lifetime.

I treat everyone, from newborns and young adults to thirty-somethings and seniors. I am hopeful that helping one person in a family will help their whole family, their friends, their community, and ultimately the world.
