We live in a world were aggression and domination is prominent, even in medicine. There is a bombardment of fear in the media citing disease outbreaks and the desperation measures taken to "fight" and "eradicate" them. There is a "war on Cancer", a "war on Aids", and a "war on Healthcare Reform." My goal is to empower people to allow wellness into their lives. I want people to realize that they can re-gain control of their own health. My approach is treating every individual with a holistic model of mind, body and spirit. It is a team based approach of the client and the healthcare provider. I incorporate the training I received in clinical sciences and pathology with the philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine- it is a union of biological science with a belief in the body's innate healing ability. My focus is on correcting nutritional deficiencies and using the science of botanical medicines to help the body correct its imbalances and to re-introduce equilibrium, the most natural state, and the least accepted. I don't believe that living with dis-ease is normal.
