I believe that the journey towards healing and a healthful lifestyle is unique and specific to each individual traveler. With this belief as my guide, I use a combination of education, counseling, medicine, and therapeutic touch to facilitate a patient's discovery of their own path and inner language.
Meet the Provider:
Motivation must come from inside, and self-knowledge will lead you towards the changes most appropriate for you needs and goals.
My passion lies in a Holistic approach that includes being proficient in a broad scope of tools so I can help empower a person to have choice in their health. I’m dedicated to helping my patients move through a wide range of physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions in the most efficient and transformative way possible.
