Practice Focus:

​

I practice an integrative approach to health, wellness, medical & pain issues. I became interested in this practice focus when I attended the first Integrative Medicine Fellowship available at the University of Arizona, Tucson. This was a 2 year fellowship, online & in person requirements. I graduated in December of 2009 and have maintained access to the entire Integrative Medicine Fellowship Site (AWCIM) & the ongoing research as it evolves. The most up to date research from the National Center For Complementary & Integrative Health. Also aches to the Natural Medicines site, Multiple Herbal sites for use in reviewing individual clients complaints. 

​

Integrative medicine is healing oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client, informed by research & evidence, making use of both western & integrative medicine therapies. This is different from the approach used by  alternative practitioners, that use homeopathy & strictly alternative therapy instead of conventional (western medicine) approaches, without concern for evidence of effectiveness.

I offer my clients the choice of which option they prefer for their own healing. I help them to  understand how powerful their minds and bodies really are, and how each organ and symptom is part of a larger system. Healing chronic and intractable ailments takes a certain level of sensitivity, which I’ve honed in order to treat stubborn conditions with gentle methods. Get in touch to find out more.
