Knowing yourself is the key to healing. Integrative medicine is a path that honors it.

I am dedicated to health care that does more than just fix a problem.

Together we address what is troubling you now while looking for its underlying cause, and along the way you come to know yourself a little better. The methods of Ayurveda are thousands of years old, yet they were always meant to adapt to the individual, and I pair them with the diagnostic tools of modern medicine so that each person can find their own way to well-being.

My aim, as a practitioner, author and teacher, is to be a bridge between these two systems, equipping patients and health care providers alike to approach healing as the individualized path that it is.
