Bio
I work with patients on a variety of issues including fertility, pregnancy, insomnia, depression, burnout, ADHD, menstrual pain, menopause, heartbreak, back pain, vehicle accidents, weight loss and digestive health.
Much of my personal work has been through yoga, shamanic traditions and meditation practices and this informs and enlivens my work with some patients.
Outside of the clinic, I love motherhood and time in nature with my husband and our two daughters.
