Treatment Philosophy
My treatment philosophy is founded on the principles of holistic healing. I take a comprehensive approach to healthcare, looking at the whole person to identify underlying causes of imbalance or disease. I strives to restore balance within the body by utilizing evidence-based natural therapies such as herbs, nutrition, orthomolecular supplementation and lifestyle changes.
I believe in empowering my patients with knowledge, so they can take control of their health and wellbeing. I also believes that the prevention of health problems is just as important as the treatment of existing ones.
My goal is to support and guide my patients on their journey to health and wellness.
Community
I believe in creating a safe and empowering space for all community members. I strive to create a size inclusive and body positive atmosphere, where everyone feels comfortable and accepted. My goal is to build a supportive community that encourages self-care and overall wellbeing. I am committed to providing resources and programs that promote health and wellness in a respectful and non-judgmental environment.
