My approach is more than just treating symptoms. As an NTP and an ONC*, I focus on the Naturopathic principle of “the healing power of nature” and emphasize getting your body back into homeostasis (balance).  I do this with a natural diet and mindful lifestyle practices, paving the way for long-term health and wellness.  Together, we delve into the root causes of your health issues.  I advocate using natural healing methods to support and restore the body's intrinsic self-regulating and self-healing mechanisms.

​

I specialize in oncology nutritional support.  I help lessen the fear of a cancer diagnosis by finding your foundational root cause and supporting it through nutritional and lifestyle changes that make the cancer less likely to come back. This is a client-centered, research-based field of cancer care that can be used alongside conventional cancer treatments.

​

I do not offer my thoughts on conventional therapies; instead, I work alongside your current medical team to provide additional specialized care. This therapeutic approach aims to assist with and prevent cancer, enhance your quality of life, and complement and improve your response to conventional treatment. I use bio-individualized tailored diet, lifestyle, and supplement protocols created, monitored, and adapted based on the client's changing requirements.

 

My support encompasses those with "predispositions", those with an active diagnosis,  and those in remission.   The evidence is mounting that diets based on specific foods can be beneficial to patients with cancer in survivorship and possibly for the prevention of metastases (spread) or recurrences. 

​

I also offer traditional nutritional therapy for things like an autoimmune conditions, autism, MCAS, and chronic pain.  Here too, the focus is to support the whole person, not just the disease.  I aim to replace, replenish, balance, harmonize, cleanse, and activate the healing forces within to achieve clinical stability, quality, and life extension.

​

What types of other services do you offer ...

​​​​

I also have a great passion for epigenetics.  Epigenetics refers to how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work.  I offer nutrigenomic testing packages which are relatively inexpensive (starting at $165).  This enables you to get the scoop on hundreds of your genes and how they affect your health.

 

This is probably my favorite testing of all.  Imagine knowing exactly what nutritional pathways work and don't work for you and your family and supporting them before you ever get a disease. 

 

I also have access to specialized testing, such as the GI-map and simple lab testing in house for things like Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, A1C, and Omega 3-6 ratio. In addition, I have the ability to order just about any lab test you need either privately or through our physician based service provider. Plus weprovide access to quality supplements at a discount.

To sum it all up …

 

“Though the journey looks different for everyone, the destination most of us strive to reach is a place of total wellness: a clear, sharp mind; a strong, capable body; energy to follow our passions; and time to spend with the people we love. More than anything, we want to feel good in our own skin and enjoy each moment to the fullest.”

 

This brings us back to our original quote by Lao Tau: ”The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Let's take those first steps together.
