My Journey

I was addicted to sugar and productivity for much of my life. The busy-ness kept me distracted and the sugar was my attempt to self-soothe. I had the appearance of a high-functioning person, but below the surface was a simmering ocean of irritation that would rear its head at minor inconveniences. My mind was a chaotic tangle of overthinking and blaming everything outside of myself. I would swing from one extreme to another, quitting all refined sugar for a few weeks and then going full binge when the restriction period ended, if not sooner. 
Change started small. I read a book about self-awareness and began paying attention to the things my mind would say. Around that time I started taking yoga classes where I was asked to focus on my body, mind and breath.

I changed careers and went to school for acupuncture and herbal medicine. There I discovered the profound interplay between the body, mind and emotions. I learned a comprehensive system of medicine that acknowledges the broader context of human existence within nature. I witnessed first-hand the power of addressing a person's symptoms through a wider lens that incorporates the body, mind, emotions and natural environment. After working with many patients over the years, I’ve realized something: those who actively engage in their wellness journey and embrace lifestyle shifts experience lasting changes.

I know that not everyone is ready or able to take full ownership of their healing journey. For those who are, I am here to offer guidance and support, every step of the way. Together, we will navigate the path to wellness, empowering you to take charge of your health and wellbeing.
