After we’ve decided to work together, we will spend our first meeting gathering comprehensive information about

• your health
• your main concerns
• your medical diagnoses (if any)
• treatments you’re currently receiving (or have received in the past)
• how you’re functioning in all other areas of your life

We will discuss your goals and create a plan together that sets you on the right path. This plan can include

• how to improve nourishment
• tools to help your body detoxify
• helping your gut to function optimally
• how to get better sleep
• using movement and mindfulness
• dealing with your stressors

We will leverage the knowledge and wisdom of natural medicine to help you heal using

• whole foods
• nutritional supplements
• botanical therapy
• acupuncture
• movement

East Asian medicine and naturopathic medicine both focus on digestive health, aiming to restore optimal functioning of your gut as a foundation for long-term well-being. We will develop a nutrition strategy that works for you and help you make it a reality in the next days, weeks and months, until it becomes second nature to you.

Botanical medicine reaches back thousands of years and has been used around the world to treat illness and help you regain your good health. Carefully chosen medicinal herbs can gently lead you in the right direction to restore your vitality and resilience. We recommend only professional-grade botanical products we trust.

Acupuncture is a treatment approach based in East Asian medical practice that helps relieve blockages and restore appropriate energy flow to allow optimal functioning of your body’s systems (including the nervous, endocrine, digestive, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and reproductive systems). Acupuncture is an effective therapy to help relieve your pain and promote a profound sense of well-being.

Movement is an integral part of your journey to good health and will be a cornerstone of your healing and self-care for the rest of your life. Movement includes your activities of daily living and any exercise you engage in to become strong, flexible and resilient. Movement also includes activities that allow you to relax and experience joy. We will help you find what feels right for you.

Last, but not least, we will discuss what lifestyle changes may benefit you. We’ll leave no stone unturned to help you figure out where you can create change, letting go of old habits and inviting in new ones that serve you better. This can be challenging, so having a coach at your side can make all the difference.

Setting goals early in our collaboration and assessing your progress are the basis for your course of treatment. You will decide when you have reached your health goals and when to set new ones. We will be your sounding board.
