A functional approach to medicine - helping you nourish your roots
Since I was a teenager and throughout my career, I have been exploring and learning about food as medicine as well as natural ways to supplement. It also has been a passion of mine to help others improve their health and well-being.
After over 15 years helping companies improve their financial health, I had an a-ha moment while attending a class at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Why not shift my focus from helping companies to helping people?
I have seen how the pressures of business and life can impact your health - both first-hand experience as well as seen in colleagues around me. Your body is not meant to be in a heightened sympathetic "fight or flight" mode for extended periods of time. Stress is a big factor in how your body responds to and handles your internal and external ecosystem.
I found acupuncture medicine theory to be so inspirational and it seemed to make so much sense to me.
Helps the body to function optimally so that your body does not go into a diseased state
Focuses on the underlying causes of disease versus treating the symptom
This approach and philosophy really resonates with me.
I am really looking forward to helping you in your journey to improved health and wellness.
