The unique blend of her naturopathic and conventional backgrounds has been an asset in her medical and consulting career. It has given her a fuller understanding of how to safely integrate these distinct fields of medicine when necessary.

Through the consulting services of Health Is Living LLC, she is able to achieve one of her favorite naturopathic principles, Physician as Teacher.” Her job is to journey with her clients on their road to improved health and educate them on how and why it is important for them to take care of their bodies. Our bodies are not our own to do with as we please. We are stewards of this great gift God has given us. Let us truly live in health.
