Teaching/Healing Philosophy:
It is essential to understand the context in which symptoms or an illness begin, as mental or emotional distress often precedes the onset of physical symptoms. I'll begin by listening carefully to you. Once I understand the unique expression, pattern and context of your symptoms, I'll develop an individualized treatment plan. As part of the plan, I will prescribe homeopathic medicine designed to stimulate innate self-healing. Homeopathic treatment amplifies the benefits of other naturopathic modalities and enhances well-being, immunity, energy and sleep.
