my naturopathic approach

Working with me is like working with a detective. My role is to help identify the obstacles to achieving better health, uncover the root cause of your symptoms and guide you toward reaching your goals. I am here to listen, help you tune into your body, understand the gaps, and put the puzzle together on your health. I will be in your corner, cheering you on as you are your own greatest healer.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey.

PATient-Centered

My focus is on your health and wellness needs. You will never get a one-size fits all approach when we work together.

HOLISTIC

Your mind, body, spirit, and emotional well-being will always be taken into consideration on your healing journey. That’s why I will ask you a a variety of questions, not only what is happening in your body, but in all aspects of your life. I also embrace a spirit filled medical paradigm - this means you can talk to me about the “Source”, “Divine”, “Universe”, “Great Spirit”, “God” … or whatever word(s) you use.

PRACTICAL

Like you, I can get lost in the sea of health information out there and often the recommendations are conflicting, impractical or confusing. And who isn’t strapped for time these days even to make it to the doctor? As a working mom with two energetic boys who keep me busy, I understand the demands that can make it difficult to start a health makeover. This is why I strive to offer manageable and achievable solutions.

COLLABORATIVE

You are in full control of your health choices. You will never be forced, told what to do, or made to feel obligated in any way. I will offer my expertise and let you know when I can’t. I am always willing to do more research and get back to you or I will point you in the right direction. You won’t be left hanging.

planetary health lens

Planetary health is an emerging discipline that seeks to understand how the wellbeing of humans is dependent on the wellbeing of the planet including living and nonliving systems. As an integrative, holistic practitioner, I am devoted to increasing the health and resilience of humanity’s collective future. This includes working to redefine our relationship to nature and educating on habits and practices that support the health of the planet and people. In practice this might look like assessing for environmental challenges affecting health like pollution and extreme weather events or addressing climate anxiety and ecological grief - a “natural and legitimate response to ecological loss, and one that may become more common as climate impacts worsen.” To learn more about planetary health click HERE.
