about me

As a kid, I never wanted to go to the doctor nor did I expect to become one.

Something changed when I studied in Kenya and again when immersed in a different lifestyle, language and culture while teaching in Japan.

At the doctor’s office, I was asked about the foods that I had been eating, to take care with seasonal weather changes and to curb my activity to get well. I didn’t get pharmaceuticals but what looked like small packets of herbs.

Wonderful natural solutions to conventional drugs and surgery, my path to holistic medicine began. I soon discovered naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, acupuncture and CranioSacral Therapy.

These provided the “outside of the box” approach to medicine that I was looking for - whole body wellness.

Practicing integrative health care in the Pacific Northwest for 20 years, I have witnessed the benefits of natural medicine. Travel and curiosity keeps me learning and meeting people across the globe. Please join me on your journey to better health today!
