I offer a holistic style of care considering the best of conventional medicine while integrating natural & alternative modalities, to help you achieve healing, health improvement and overall well-being.
My wellness approach emphasizes nutrition, lifestyle, stress and aspects of modern living that can negatively impact your health, emotions and well being. In addition to addressing nutrition and physical health concerns, we'll consider family, career, social life, recreation & overall sense of fulfillment as factors impacting your healing, improvement and well-being. My background, education and training in family practice, psychology, spirituality, advanced holistic nursing, and integrative medicine offers a unique whole-person approach.
Nursing emphasizes authentic caring, compassion, comfort, encouragement, healing and wholeness. Holistic nurses look at you as a whole person, rather than having a limited focus on a specific part, issue, disease or disorder. Because I'm a nurse we work together in partnership as equals. My style of practice feels more like talking with a trusted & knowledgeable friend than a cold, distant professional.
The majority of our work together will emphasize evidence based medicine, nutrition, stress reduction and lifestyle. However, when appropriate and jointly agreed upon, the following adjunct therapies may be utilized: Orthomolecular & functional medicine testing and modalities, biofeedback, alpha-wave stimulation, restructuring negative thinking, hypnosis, healing touch, creative arts, nature therapy, soul and spiritual work, nurse herbalism, focusing & calming, indigenous healing, and ancient wisdom ways.
Conventional medical therapies including testing and pharmaceuticals are also utilized. I will refer you to other licensed professionals if the optimal modality or treatment you need is not a part of my standard practices.
Women's issues, life stages, health and wellness are an area of special interest, emphasis & care. This includes adolescence, menarche, womanhood, pregnancy, birth, mothering, ageing, menopause and elderhood.
Non-judgmental care, LGBTQIA+, alternative lifestyles and cultures welcome.
