Medicine Through All Life Stages
Welcome! My greatest hope is that this practice fits a diverse group of individuals in an empowering way, educates with respect, and promotes body, spirit, and lifestyle positivity for whatever paths you are choosing for your optimal self. A search for increasing health or vitality, a relief of pain, or a desire to find new meaning in the day-to-day are common aspects of why people might request my input or learn more from browsing through the content on this site.
Naturopathic and Eastern Medicine both discuss and are deeply rooted in life cycle philosophy, the movement and flow of energy in natural systems. Creation and destruction are both natural aspects of all living systems, thus there are times of great joy and new abilities, and times of change, grief, or loss as a normal and expected part of life as well. The present moment is everything in between and consisting of the flux or flow between many different points.
What my medicine focuses on is acceptance based strategies for what’s happening in the present moment, with additional support for underlying structures towards healing. Some items that support us in times of change include mental, spiritual, and physical health. This can look like better digestion, sleep, exercise, spiritual practices like meditation or breathing exercises. This can also look like releasing grief, anger, fear, recognizing bias in ourselves and towards others, and commonly acceptance of our limitations. That is why I’ve crafted my practice around tools of Meridians and Energy systems of Acupuncture, Herbal, Dietary, and Pharmacy supplemental systems of Naturopathic Medicine, and also practice using a foundation in Health Psychology.
