about me

 

I am a curious questioner and wanderlust. I have visited 50 countries and recently completed a ‘gap year’ in the south of France with my family.  While my background is in western medicine as a PA, I have gone on to study nutrition, and completed a two year fellowship under world renowned Dr. Andrew Weil at the University of Arizona School of Medicine.  I am currently earning credits toward a certification in functional medicine through the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). I have also completed certifications in Ayurvedic medicine and alcohol coaching.

I believe in a holistic and individualized approach to healing the mind, body and spirit, using both research and scientific based modalities as well as listening to our intuitive knowing of what we need.  

Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work.  The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well and the true healers of disease.  Our food should be our medicine.  Our medicine should be our food.  -Hippocrates
