Simply put, I can recommend plants, foods and lifestyle modifications to help you alleviate your symptoms while building overall vitality. Every human being, together with our healing process, is wholly unique. Below is a look at the modalities I pull from to create a protocol that is equally unique to you.
I am an American Herbalist Guild Member trained and educated in botany, anatomy, chemistry, and of course the making and use of plant medicine. As a clinical practitioner, I thoroughly assess your current health, history and unique constitution to indicate the actions and properties best suited for you at this moment in time. Protocols can be adjusted as your needs evolve. Some are indicated for mere days, while others for months or even years. Some are simple, others multi-faceted. Plant medicine comes in many forms, from tinctures and teas to salves and steams. I would be honored to create a remedy that suits your needs and lifestyle.
I'm a National Association of Nutrition Professionals Member trained in clinical and kitchen settings alike. As both a Holistic and Culinary Nutritionist, I am passionate about carving your unique path to vitality through food that brings you joy. Because this often translates to home cooking, I work with you to ensure recommendations cater to your skills, schedule and inclination. While I'm an advocate of whole foods before pills, I can also assess and modify your supplement regimen to better ensure efficacy and safety. As with herbal remedies, nutritional protocols can evolve with your body's needs.
Making change demands support structure and planning alike. As a board-certified HWC, I work with you to develop recommendations that are SMART: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely. Whether nutritional, herbal or lifestyle in nature, SMART recommendations fuel continued success.
I am grateful to be a Registered Certified Yoga Teacher with over 40 years of experience practicing meditation in both movement and stillness. This background is particularly relevant when exploring the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of stress management and healthy movement.
Your first step is to to book a consult. This initial visit typically lasts about an hour, and can take place virtually or in person (South Bay, Los Angeles). Here we do a deep dive into your health and lifestyle. Topics can range from symptoms, diagnoses, lab work and medications, to diet, stress, sleep and physical activity. We also discuss what kinds of change you are ready and able to tackle, and how.
This whole-person approach is at the heart of holistic care. It allows me to develop a truly individualized protocol that supports your health on both a systemic and symptomatic level. The goal is to help you feel better by promoting your body's innate vitality.
