As a practicing Mind-Body Medicine Doctor, I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals to make that RECONNECTION, moving toward and embracing well-being.
My programs emphasize the importance of nervous system management, functional nutrition, embodied movement, and soulful pursuits as ACTIVE components to achieving and maintaining OPTIMAL health. Grounded in BELIEF in the body's innate ability to heal, you are guided on your own unique journey toward BALANCE and VITALITY.
Here are the wells of wisdom I draw from to work with you:
Mind-body Medicine (Saybrook University)
MindBody Medicine is based on the scientific understanding of the intricate connection between our thoughts, sensations and feelings, and our mind, body, and spirit – between ourselves and the social and natural world in which we live.
-
It focuses on powerful and scientifically validated ways to reduce stress and restore health and balance within your biopsychosocial and soulful self.
-
Tools for balance within Mind-Body Medicine are things like Hypnosis and Guided Imagery, Mindfulness and Meditation, Embodied Movement, Dietary Interventions, and more.
Integrative Health (CIIS, CIMSS)
Integrative Health is an approach to healthcare that combines evidence-based conventional treatments with proven complementary approaches to promote optimal well-being. Rooted in a patient-centered model, it acknowledges the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.
-
Integrative Health aims to address the whole person, not just isolated symptoms, by considering lifestyle factors, dietary habits, emotional well-being, and environmental influences.
-
Tools for balance within Integrative Health are things like acupuncture, herbal medicine, mindfulness, and nutrition.
Ayurveda
Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine and healing originating from India, is translated from the Sanskrit as “the wisdom of life” and suggests that health is not simply the absence of disease, rather, it is an ever-expanding state of greater well-being, balance, creativity, and joy.
-
Not a “one size fits all” prescription for health, the practices center around the choices you make about food, sleep, relationships, and daily routines, that shape the body, mind, and spirit.
-
You are a dynamic network of multi-dimensional intelligence, influenced by and influencing everything with which you engage both internally and externally.
Holistic Nutrition
Holistic Nutrition is a comprehensive approach to dietary and lifestyle choices that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit in relation to overall health and well-being.
-
Rather than focusing solely on individual nutrients or isolated dietary practices, holistic nutrition considers the entire person and their unique needs, addressing not only physical nourishment but also emotional, spiritual, and environmental factors.
-
My approach promotes balance and harmony through whole, nutrient-dense foods, mindful eating practices, and lifestyle adjustments tailored to nourishing and supporting your body, mind, spirit, and soul.
