Listening to the Body’s Innate Wisdom
As a naturopathic doctor, I strive to guide individuals to tap into the powerful wisdom of the innate healer. I was lead to naturopathic medicine through my own health struggles, being diagnosed with a chronic condition at age 21 and left feeling helpless by the conventional medical model. I sought out novel ways to address my condition with much success. However, even though my physical ailments weren’t as chronic anymore, I still experienced many flares that disrupted my life. Over time, I recognized a pattern. My flares would come when I stopped listening. I could take all the supplements and eat all the plants, but the second my spirit was broken or my soul was depleted and I didn’t listen, I would flare.
Connecting Mind, Body, and Spirit
I have found it is so important to connect mind, body and spirit as a first step in cultivating true wellness. Of course this can take a great deal of time and I am more than willing to meet you where you are at with the utmost compassion. I am committed to listening to you and aim for a truly holistic approach to balance all systems of the body. I will be your biggest cheerleader and a diligent detective in your health journey.
Education and Background
I received my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. I obtained my Bachelor of Health Science degree from Georgia College and State University with a focus in community health and nutrition. Additionally, I am a certified health coach and worked in functional and integrative medicine for several years before moving to Portland for my degree.
Outside of Work
When I’m not practicing my passion, you may find me hiking with my white German shepherd, Shadow, dancing to old records in my living room, or decompressing by a body of water.
