Discover a path for healing….

You’re intrigued.  You really are looking for more clarity about what to do and how best to take care of yourself. You really want to feel better. You want to feel heard and less alone on this journey.  You’re still not quite sure though… is it worth the money, the time, more new patient paperwork, and all the energy? You’re wondering if you really want to go to another appointment or tell your story to another doctor?  You’re optimistic that you can find a way forward and yet worried about whether this experience is truly going to be any different.

My hope is that the experience is dramatically different. I believe that the visit itself should be healing, that the relationship should be healing, that the environment should be healing, and that you already have an immense amount of wisdom (you just need help hearing it).  I created a cozy, calm, healing space that draws in healing elements of nature where we can sit and talk and begin the next step of your healing journey (telehealth is also available for people in Colorado if that is what is best for you). 

Integrative Medicine treats the person – body, mind, and spirit – and uses complementary therapies in addition to conventional medical care.  Our work does not replace your relationship with your primary care doctor or other specialists – I’m an additional member on your team with expertise in integrative medicine and palliative medicine (if you’re interested in learning more about these two specialties, read my blog post here). 

In an integrative consult, we have extended time to explore your story and all facets of your life contributing to your current state of health. The typical time constraints of a primary care office or specialist visit do not limit us. We are also treating you, the person, and moving towards whole health, not just an absence of disease. My training in integrative medicine provides a unique way of approaching illness and healing that is informed by evidence, honors other systems of healing, and is open to the miraculous. 

Healing is a process that takes time and involves inner exploration, often lifestyle changes, sometimes support from other complementary modalities, and sometimes conventional medical treatment.  When we work together, we will spend the initial 90 minute appointment getting to know each other, reviewing your medical history, hearing your story, and talking about what really matters to you (it’s a lot to cover). Together, we will develop an initial plan to begin to transform whatever it is that most needs transforming now.  (I may recommend diet changes, movement, reflection, herbs, supplements or offer referrals to other complementary healers).  We would then schedule a follow-up appointment (usually within 2-4 weeks) so we can evaluate what works and what doesn’t and continue on this transformational journey.  This is slow medicine, and the goal is to make small changes that create radical transformation and whole health over time. 

My approach is a process and not disease specific. Together, we will take a deep dive into your health, your story, your wounds, and your dreams (this process isn’t for the faint of heart).  Together, we will try to understand the root cause of what ails you – whether that resides in the body, mind, or spirit – and seek to restore balance. 

Together, we will help you journey towards whole health and healing. Together, we will help you find clarity, confidence, and deeper connection to your own wisdom. I look forward to meeting you…
