The blending of allopathic modalities with naturopathy, homeopathy, and acupuncture promotes the body's intrinsic healing capacity resulting in not only symptom relief, but wellness.

She founded the Center for Holistic & Integrative Medicine (CHI-Medicine) in 2009, bringing together like-minded practitioners to support patients on their path to wellness.
