Meet the Doctor
“I grew up in the Quinault rainforest of the Olympic National Park in Washington State. Nature has been my teacher from the beginning; the clean fresh world of mountain streams and mossy forests surrounded me and fostered my path toward becoming a Naturopathic Physician. As a teenager, I developed bulimia, and I suffered for many years in the jaws of a cruel eating disorder. The downward spiral of addiction and guilt weighed me down. I was not free to live my life until I experienced the power of homeopathy to liberate and heal me from the inside out. I feel blessed, in return, for the privilege of sharing my expertise in homeopathic medicine with my clients. I am especially passionate about treating eating disorders, obesity, and weight management, providing you the possibility to live your most fulfilling life by building on a foundation of optimal health and vitality. I receive great joy from helping people reach their wellness potential, and witnessing the transformation of you, my clients, becoming radiantly beautiful and truly free.”
