Health affects our happiness, the way we see ourselves, the way we connect with others, and the way we perceive and experience our world. Health has a direct impact on our ability to live in every moment. This is why good health is so important and why I help others uncover their human potential to heal. When we are well, it allows us to show up as the fullest expression of ourselves in this world.
ABOUT
I fundamentally believe in the healing power of nature – the body’s ability to heal itself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually when provided the proper environment and with removing any obstacles in the way of optimal functioning.
My passion for naturopathic medicine was bred out of treating my own complex health struggles. It was through working with both naturopathic and functional medical doctors that I found answers and began healing. We took a deep dive into my health and found the environment was largely contributing to my health struggles; the external environment (heavy metal toxicity, environmental allergens, and mold), and the internal environment (parasites, chronic viral infections, undiagnosed celiac disease, a dysregulated nervous system, along with hormonal imbalances).
Trusting my body's ability to heal has allowed me to fully surrender to the process required to bring about change in my life. My exploration to become aligned with my optimal health has sparked a curiosity in the lives of friends and family in my circle. Seeing them have the courage to look deeper and take control of their own health is an incredible thing to witness.
Providing the knowledge and space for my patients to experience the same extraordinary health outcomes is a gift.
