That’s right — just in case no one has bothered to share that insight with you. What makes us healthy, and what makes us sick is often complicated and interconnected, and more often than not it’s not so easy as a “do this and don’t do that” recommendation.

Here’s the great news… the human body and mind are amazingly adept at healing when properly supported.

I consider myself a work-in-progress and I believe you too are a work-in-progress and together we’re going to work hard to shed some light and remove all the complexities surrounding health and wellness.

I believe some of the most basic necessities to true recovery and healing start with a strong support foundation. Establishing a strong community with open communication and mutual respect is critical.

My typical patients are people just like you: women and men – who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. With a growing list of ailments and symptoms that often go unresolved by mainstream medicine and are just overlooked — yet they are affecting your quality of life because they range anywhere from a little annoying to straight-up debilitating!

You’re here because you know that things can’t continue the way they’ve been going. You already know that it’s time to start taking action now — and you believe it’s never too early or late to make changes. I work with people of all ages, but most of my patients do tend to be between 25 and 55 years of age.

A majority of my patients come to work with me to deal with an initial primary concern, but often we discover several deeper concerns (I like to call them root concerns) are present. These root problems often cause the initial concern or are feeding into it, while simultaneously causing other concerns as well.

I take great care to help you see your body and mind from the most complete and affordable vantage point as possible and then I work to help you implement simple, yet profound systems to reverse, stop or change the state of diseases and disorders you experience.

As a functional medicine practitioner I hold strongly to the adage, “Test, don’t guess” and therefore my initial consults include extensive medical tests and systems evaluations so that we may gather a proper diagnosis. After our testing phase, I deliver a comprehensive Report of Findings where I share all the information we’ve learned and what course of action(s) I believe will deliver the best results in the shortest amount of time and budget.

I believe in promoting the simplest efforts to gain the maximum response and therefore my treatments often include; diet and lifestyle changes, environmental considerations, supplements, herbals, botanicals, and other natural modalities and considerations. My medical training began over a decade ago and continues to evolve as each day I continue to learn and grow as a practitioner thanks in large part to my mentors and my patients. Work with me from anywhere in the United States or, see me locally in Tacoma (University Place), Washington.

My medical license is in Chinese Medicine, which stands as one of the oldest living forms of continued functional medicine on earth. You can learn more about my education journey by scrolling down below.
