Approach to care

My approach to care is based on the pillars of living a healthy lifestyle and centered around plant-based nutrition while reducing medications. I am your coach in developing healthy habits by working through challenges and making positive changes at your pace. Education is ongoing as self-sufficiency increases as a result of good decision making about nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management.
