MY PHILOSOPY

I believe an integrative approach to care can lead to optimal health. Integrative health recognizes that good medicine should be based in good science, be inquiry driven and open to new paradigms. My private practice focuses on an integrative health coaching model, a partnership between each unique person and me in the healing process. This approach merges use of conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the body’s innate healing process. My practice focuses upon the promotion of health, prevention of illness, support in survivorship and the use of REIKI (a Japanese technique that induces relaxation and promotes healing) to help you achieve your ultimate wellness goal.
