ABOUT US

As a graduate of Rivier College with a Masters of Science and as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I utilize functional, integrative medicine to assist each individual person overcome their barriers to vibrant health. I have an in-depth understanding of nutrition and use of nutritional and herbal supplementation to either replenish nutrient deficiencies or to assist in repair of chronic illness and injuries.

I use a variety of testing methods from traditional lab work and imaging studies to DNA testing, heavy metal testing, adrenal stress testing, food allergy testing, as well as a number of intestinal tests to determine the true status of the individual. I know, without a strong digestive system, we can never achieve our full health potential.

My question is always, “why do you have this condition”, not how can we take this symptom away with a drug or even a supplement. That approach can be likened to unplugging the check-engine light in your car just because it annoys you, instead of taking a good look under the hood to find out what is wrong. Some medications can be necessary, even life-saving at times, and if you are more nutrient replete, you will utilize the drug more effectively and hopefully have less side effects.

In the end, my goal is to assist each person to a higher level of wellness and consciousness about their own individual health journey. We each need to learn about our surrounding environment through research and education. Each of us also need to understand about the pitfalls of the diet and nutrition industry and the advantages of either local, and/or home grown, organic foods, and supplementation.
