Welcome to the new way to experience healthcare
As an RN/BSN, I had worked in traditional medicine for over 25 years when my eyes were opened to the new way of helping people - a way that actually brings people healing and vitality. This approach focuses on identifying the sources of inflammation and dis-ease in your body through personalized testing, customized diet and lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation. It's called "root cause" medicine and it is the new way to experience true health care.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is different than traditional medicine in that instead of seeking to treat symptoms and conditions with medications and procedures, the functional approach seeks to identify and address the root cause of the symptoms or the condition. When you discover the root cause and you work to address it, the body will start to heal and symptoms will improve or disappear. It's taking a holistic approach to assess the whole body and the interconnectivity of each system, each contributing factor, and each disruption of optimal function. I believe that when the root cause of disease is addressed, the body can heal itself naturally. I also understand that healing is not just physical, but also mental, spiritual, emotional and environmental.
The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well Hippocrates
