It is my goal to help you reach your full vitality!
 

 

My Approach

My wellness approach is based on Vitalism and Nature Cure.  This is centered around the body’s innate ability to heal itself, and when necessary, using the least invasive methods to support and encourage the healing process.  I utilize time-tested healing methods alongside evidence based approaches to support the whole person.  I aim to investigate and address the underlying cause of disease, and help my clients take charge of their health.

My Background

I was born and raised in Washington State, and grew up on Whidbey Island.  Surrounded by nature and beauty, I gained an immense love and respect for natural processes of life.  I had always dreamed of becoming a veterinarian and being a healer of animals, however the universe had other plans in mind for me.  I found myself at Bastyr University, nestled in the woods of St. Edwards State Park, and once again fell in love.  It felt like coming home!  So I immersed myself in a community of people dedicated to living naturally and healthfully, and I look forward to sharing this way of living with my clients.
