Spinal asymmetries, anxiety & depression, auto-immune skin disease, hormonal imbalances from hormonal birth control and stress… I’ve wrestled with the decisions of how to approach healing all these things. I’ve been given treatment options from MDs, Ayurveda & Chinese Medicine practitioners, and Yoga teachers and have weighed the benefits & disadvantages of all of them.

Ultimately, I found that addressing underlying health weaknesses with committed application of healthy diet, mindfulness, and movement along with herbal medicine & acupuncture at times, has almost entirely healed the initial issues and strengthened my overall health. The process has empowered me to be in a position where I can decline more aggressive treatment because it’s no longer needed.

And then I became a mother to a son with eczema…and once again I got to see how effective treatment with herbal medicine and Chinese body therapies helped his body heal his skin while also strengthening his digestion and immune system and saved him the side effects of corticosteroids and other harsh topicals. In the process, I received pressure from his pediatrician at the time to use steroids that only when I was asked to be referred to a dermatologist was told that they weren’t needed because it was being managed so well with the care I had been giving him already. While I would like to think he’ll be rash-free forever as he is now, I know that should his skin flare in the future he’ll have the tools to guide his body back into balance.

My own personal experience and those of my patients over the years have reinforced my passion for introducing women and children to healing solutions that can serve them for years to come.

I am committed to guiding you and your family in utilizing safe and effective natural medicine to address health challenges and support longterm vitality and happiness.
