 my healing philosophy

My healing approach is to help you become a vital woman through every season of your life!

I BELIEVE THAT supporting your physical, EMOTIONAL, MENTAL and spiritual wellbeing creates lasting wellness!

 WHEN THOSE FOUR areas are INTERCONNECTED,NOURISHING AND FLOURISHING EACH OTHER IN A CONSISTENT AND SPECIFIC WAy, THEN AND ONLY THEN, DO YOU ACHIEVE and sustain optimum health and well-being.

The path that I've discovered to help you achieve this state of well-being encompasses my many years of holistic medicine and integrative health training, through preventive and complementary medicine.  My healing approach is to provide precise, integrative and evidenced informed natural health care and consulting for my clients and telehealth patients. I hold specific guiding principles to help me carry out my healing philosophy: 

  1. Listen to you, the patient first. Always. One of my medical school professors once quizzed us and asked, 'which herbal medicine was the best for xx condition?' the answer—the one your patient will take! Taking into account your preferences (lifestyle etc.) is the foundation for a successful evidence-informed practice and can be as important as the 'best holistic formula' for your condition.

  2. Practice what I teach. -I once was took a course from a teacher, that on break I discovered, was really on a 'smoke break'. It was both disheartening and enlightening, As it taught me that it was my responsibility to continue to ‘walk my talk’ as best as I could, for the sake of my health and to provide the best holistic care possible for my clients and my patients.

  3. Partnership in practice. We are in this together. no matter the treatment, or service you receive from me, what you do outside of our visit counts- a lot. So, I will always express, encourage and embolden you to take charge of your health by taking daily actions that move you in the direction of that supports the best version of you possible. hooray for that!

  4. Complete holistic care (CHC) as a foundation. complete holistic care was the vision, and the original tagline for my first holistic health practice in NY back in 2008. whether it is advanced functional lab testing, nutritional genetic testing, health counseling, or the various tools in eastern medicine, whenever possible, I will first use holistic care as preventative medicine to promote your well-being. as per the findings of your baseline assessment (BA), I will then recommend, if needed, collaborating with your medical doctor (MD or DO).

    Apart from my private practice, the bulk of my clinical experience has been in a collaborative medical setting—in hospitals working as an Acupuncture Intern, participating in national Research studies for complementary care for conditions such as chronic pain management, osteoarthritis, labor and delivery— to name a few or working with an MD with extensive training in natural and integrative medicine.

    During these years , I’ve learned that the most effective healing outcomes occur when both MD’s and other holistic medicine doctors and practitioners, work together to facilitate the greatest patient outcome.  So I am full open to be part of your health care team or as your single source of holistic health care if you choose.

  5. Embrace faith as an integral part of the healing journey. As a Catholic Christian, my faith informs my care and therefore I see and honor the body as sacred temple which God has given innate intelligence to heal itself given the proper support and care.

  6. Meet you where you are at-Figuratively and literally! Having a telehealth, online practice allows me the flexibility to offer women’s natural health & wellness consulting globally and to offer different levels of support through products, services, and events such as retreats, and pop-up clinics throughout the year.

  7. Focus on one action for multiple benefits- I will always recommend advanced lab testing, supplements, or holistic treatments or programs only when it will provide the most support to achieve your health goals and full recovery!

  8. You can't skip steps, but you can accelerate them- Through my expertise, continued research and commitment to excellence, i will always consider the most effective treatment plan that will support your health and wellness goals for lasting positive results.
