History
It all started when I was a kid really. I became EMT certified by 16 years of age. I began working in a local Emergency Room and knew I was in my element. Off to college I went for a Molecular Biology degree and then for another 3.5 years for a Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It soon became time to continue my education so I took a class in Functional Medicine. This was nothing like acupuncture. But the things I learned here were under my scope of practice and seemed to round out my knowledge base rather well. After all we live in a modern time so I had better know modern techniques that are within my abilities. I owe it to may patients to work how they would benefit most. So my love of Functional Medicine was born. I have devoted myself to this study for the last 10 years and have developed my practice towards chronic health conditions such as autoimmunity and gut related conditions. But prevention is always better than cure so come in today for a consultation!
