I believe in the healing power of nature and that the body has an innate ability to heal . We are so inundated with what we "should" do for our health that most of us have completely lost sight of our own intuition for healing. Symptoms are the body's way of telling us what's wrong, and with some insight, what we should do about it. The conventional medical paradigm is to use drugs to block symptoms at all cost, with no real look into causes or connections, and certainly no long term healing.

My job is to help educate my patients on how and why these symptoms are occurring, and empower them to make changes to support the body's own healing. We work with mindset, nutrition and lifestyle changes to bring you back into balance. I often recommend herbal or nutrient therapies to help decrease symptom severity and work on potential underlying causes. Mindfulness and intuition around what our bodies, minds, and souls really need is cultivated in our sessions!

My goal is that through co-exploration I can guide my patients back to their most vibrant health. l always try to work myself out of the job. If you understand why things are happening and what to do about them for yourself, you won't need me, or you will need me much less often. When this happens, I know we are on the right track!

My approach is different in that I also always incorporate energetic medicines or mindfulness practices into my treatment recommendations. Many women are frustrated when their provider tells them the symptoms are all in their head or are psychosomatic. To some degree this is true, but it should not be a dismissal but an invitation to deeper healing. My work looks at these deep connections between the human energy field and autonomic nervous system. This way we can best address mental, emotional and spiritual symptoms associated with conditions like PMS, infertility and post-partum mood changes.

My patients who get better are willing to commit to the process, do the work, and take responsibility for their health. I make recommendations for herbs and energetic medicines to each person, and we get to watch nature and your body do the healing! This does not mean I do not "believe" in conventional medicine. I will always tell you if pharmaceutical medication may be our best bet, but discuss what to do first, or guidance on how to support conventional treatments will always be given. Patient preference and informed consent are my priorities. I strive to stay educated on trauma, and eating-disorder, informed practice.

My perspectives are influenced by intuitive eating, and health at every size principles, so you will never get calorie or weight loss recommendations from me. There are many practitioners that specialize in this if that is your goal. I care way more about my patients relationship with food, body image, and movement than any number on a scale and I am so glad you are here.
