What I Believe

I am a strong believer in the bodies inherent ability to heal. My life path has been guided by chronic health problems since childhood, I know viscerally the challenge of living with chronic illness. I have been blessed with these issues as they have led me on a path of self discovery I am not sure I would have been on, to the depth that I have, without. I have a history of Allergies, Eczema, Asthma, Arthritis and Alopecia Universalis (hair loss over the entire body). It became very clear to me at a young age I would find no help through modern medicine and this is true to this day. It has helped me periodically to mask symptoms so I could come up for some much needed air and for that I am grateful. As for long term deep healing it is Chinese Medicine, Nutrition, Yoga, Meditation and Naturopathy/Functional Medicine that has offered me answers. I believe so many chronic illnesses can be helped through these modalities. I feel inspired when I think of the relief I can help bring to people. This path is not easy and takes work on the part of the patient, its not just popping pills and often includes drastic changes in lifestyle. I believe this is the biggest gift of illness, connection with your true self and residing within your body as it desires. If you listen, your body/mind has answers.
