“The underlying cause of diseases associated with aging - arthritis, diabetes & high blood pressure - is inflammation. You and I have to get older, we all do! The only other option is death!! But just because we get older doesn't mean we have to live out our golden years with chronic, degenerative diseases. To prevent the debilitation commonly seen in aging, I work with my patients to optimize their weight, eating habits, vitamin and mineral supplementation, adrenal and thyroid health, stress levels, hormone balance and detoxification. I utilize blood, saliva, urine and stool testing in my practice.
Blood sugar problems and anemia must be addressed before any other health questions. Once balance is ascertained, Adrenal and Thyroid health come next for a healthy body. It is critical to discover the cause of the problem and not simply put vitamin and botanical supplement band-aids on for cover up.
My practice is unique in that I bring 34 years nursing experience to my naturopathic practice. I know both "regular" medicine and naturopathic, making my practice truly complementary. Another unique quality to my practice is the variety of services offered - colonics, massage therapy and detoxification footbaths are popular options for many.”
