I am a board-certified family practice physician with a passion for nutrition and its ability to heal and prevent disease. My functional medicine approach treats the root cause rather than just your symptoms. I value the opportunity to take the time to sit down with you and learn your health story. With access to onsite lab support, nutrition experts and movement specialists I can provide individualized care based on your past and present exposures, experiences, and genetic tendencies to help you achieve optimal health.
I apply food strategies and use massage and bodywork techniques to treat the root cause of your health condition. By offering reassurance and guidance to make food and dietary changes I can help you transform your body and mind. Through the integration of massage, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and visualization, I will support you in reaching optimal health.
I work to empower and bring clarity to your journey to better health. This includes making sure you are receiving the optimal amount of guidance from our practitioners to assure your pathway to success feels accessible while also identifying lifestyle management strategies for you to reduce the presence of barriers to encourage an attainable wellness routine.
I teach the elegance of alignment and the joy of embodiment to support your quest to find joy and freedom through the experience of living in a body. I dive deep into the underlying sources of uncertainty to offer simple and practical tools that can be integrated into daily life. I focus on relating to difficult emotions in a new way, rather than trying to eliminate them.

I help heal the effects of complex pain and trauma at a core level while minimizing holding patterns that keep you from achieving your personal best. My approach focuses on Feldenkrais® and Somatic Experiences, both powerful, body-based methods to enhance overall health and digestion after stress, pain, and trauma.
I love empowering people through movement that integrates the principles of Pilates which are: awareness, breath, balanced muscle development, concentration, control (mind, body), centering, efficiency, precision, flow, & harmony. When we learn these principles in class, we can apply them throughout the day in whatever activity we're doing. I teach proper biomechanics & give feedback through verbal & hands-on cueing to help my students get the most out of their practice & leave with a sense of accomplishment.
I am a board-certified Family Medicine/Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine physician, as well as a Yoga Instructor with a passion for improving the wellness of her community. I will lead you through a mindful and challenging yoga practice that will support your physical and mental health. I focus on safe and purposeful classes in a warm and inviting environment. My background is in Vinyasa, Power, and Slow Flow yoga, with an increasing interest in Restorative and Yin practices. I hope to bring my unique background as a physician to my yoga teaching.
I teach people of all ages and levels of athleticism how to manage their posture and everyday movements, specifically their spines. Offering an understanding of how your body is built to move, so you can better understand your injuries, why they happen, and how to potentially eliminate pain by developing new movement habits. The Gyrokinesis® Method is a safe approach I use for those who have been sedentary in addition to those who are physically active who want to regain any lost flexibility. I also specialize in education, prevention, and management of basic pelvic floor functioning for men and women.
I am acutely aware of the power of our thoughts and I bring an approach that is both gentle and uniquely powerful for healing, infusing the ageless wisdom from the East and countless evolving tools from the West to offer the best care possible.
I believe there is a better way to pursue healing in an open-minded and respectful manner, unencumbered by barriers inherent in the current model of healthcare delivery. Combining medical practice with experience in healthcare administration and business, I facilitate an ethical, transparent, and sustainable model focused on enhancing the experience of our members and practitioners and streamlining the process toward true healing.
I am committed to helping our members live better by boldly facing the challenges within our healthcare, food, and retail systems to create a better way. With a 25+ career in adult health and oncology with extensive training in cancer genetics, I tackle the difficult obstacles through problem-solving and realizing the potential to spark change.
I create systems where every member, practitioner, collaborator, and community member feels seen, heard and valued. With an extensive background in the holistic health field, I have a passion to help people see the healing potential within themselves.
