Women's Health
Women's medicine is a unique field in health care with profound implications when paired with naturopathic medicine. Women's health issues are distinct from that of men and children, but are oftentimes not given the attention and care that they require for recovery and wellness. The principles of naturopathic medicine help me to identify and evaluate the root cause of disease, offer safe and personalized treatments, and provide tools to prevent many of the common issues women experience. As a holistic practitioner, I value the bio-individuality of every woman, and, take the time to understand the physical, mental, social, and genetic factors that contribute to disease, so that I can help her find healing that is long lasting.

What inspired me to pursue women's health?
During medical school, I received speciality training in women's health and had the humbling opportunity to work with women who suffered from diseases that ranged from anxiety to Hashimoto's thyroiditis to breast cancer. Women are genetically programed so uniquely, making etiology of disease sometimes confounding. Yet their healing journey is so beautiful - something I discovered during my clinical training in women's health. Using the many tools inside my naturopathic toolbox, I helped put together the bits and pieces of their health, like a puzzle, and this was so rewarding for me to witness. As a woman having faced many challenging health issues throughout my life, I know how difficult it can be to gain back health and wellness, and that is why I am so passionate about women's health.

How are common women's health issues treated?
Traditionally, many of the common women's health issues are treated with one or more medications in combination with lifestyle changes.
​
My holistic approach to healing focuses on digging deeper beyond symptoms and getting to the underlying cause of disease. Every woman experiences health issues differently, and deserves to be heard and listened to at a personal level. I use functional testing to evaluate and assess the root cause of the disease and help you on your journey back to health with customized health recommendations that include botanical medicine, lifestyle interventions, clinical nutrition, mindfulness, and homeopathy. I follow the naturopathic principles of using the least invasive and most therapeutic tools and treatments to help facilitate the body's innate healing potential.
