I attended Bastyr University in Seattle, WA the four year accredited Naturopathic Medical School where I received my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine, with training focused on prevention of disease and promotion of wellness in a primary care setting. After graduating, I founded Acadiana Center for Natural Health - a place for families that integrates the foundational principles of natural medicine and incorporation of integrative medicine with the goal of promoting health. I am passionate about the career I have chosen and I will work to motivate, inspire, and empower you to make health an attainable goal.

How to tell if Naturopathy is right for me?
A Lafayette naturopath is a practitioner of naturopathy, a form of alternative medicine based on the idea that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. Lafayette Naturopaths improve health by treating the person holistically, tapping a person's own internal body, mind, and spirit resources. Naturopathy comprises a blend of different therapies, all attempting to restore the body to health in the most natural, noninvasive way possible by stimulating the body's own healing powers.
