Traditional Osteopathic Medicine for the Whole Family

My passion lies in discovering what truly heals people. I specialize in diet, lifestyle, counseling, osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and other natural medicines. By integrating my training in alternative medicine, science, and conventional medicine, I aim to help your body, mind, and spirit heal as a unified whole.

I am fortunate to have been immersed in natural medicine from birth, learning about healing from my father, a naturopath. This early education predated the popularization of concepts like integrative and functional medicine. It was crucial in my understanding of science, which clearly demonstrates that lifestyle is the most effective way to cure people, despite most doctors lacking the time or knowledge to teach it. My natural curiosity led me to seek information, attend lectures, and participate in conferences about lifestyle and diseases. I was deeply involved in research during my undergraduate studies and my Master of Public Health, where I focused my thesis on nutrition. Becoming an osteopathic doctor allowed me to master both conventional medicine and the art of osteopathic manipulation (OMT).

What sets me apart is my belief that true health can be achieved in harmony with nature, without relying on medications or even herbs. Most medical specialties focus on using external agents to treat conditions, often neglecting lifestyle as a primary therapy. One extreme relies solely on pharmaceuticals, while the other—often called “green allopathy”—uses herbs as natural substitutes for pills. However, these are still pills. Many modern osteopathic doctors also depend on drugs, adding OMT to their allopathic repertoire.

I hold a different perspective. Nature provides powerful, temporary medicines that can be very helpful. However, in the long term, true health comes from a nutrient-dense diet and a balanced lifestyle. My approach emphasizes achieving and maintaining health by living in harmony with nature, ensuring that your body can thrive on its own without perpetual reliance on external treatments.

Lifestyle, Healing, and Prevention

Osteopathic Manipulation

Experience optimal health and vitality with personalized diet and exercise guidance. Learn how to make lifestyle changes and which exercises are best for you depending on your medical history.

Diet
We can explore your healthy dietary options based on your needs. I have 2 main goals with diet: nutrient dense and chemical free. The first is to eat nutrient dense so that every bite counts as many, you receive concentrated nutrients that will infuse all your cells, and you will have the building blocks for your body to create and maintain your health. The second is to avoid chemicals by avoiding pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other human-made substances that are potentially harmful. Avoiding poison will allow your healing from the first step to be maintained so you aren’t causing more diseases.

Exercise
You will learn how “burn it off” is the opposite of how you should think. Yes you need to move, stretch, and strengthen, but you should not use exercise to burn off unhealthy foods. Exercise is an opportunity to take the nutrient dense and chemical free foods through your body and feed you at the deepest levels and wash out normal metabolic waste products. If you exercise to burn off bad food, you process that bad food faster; the bad food still goes through your cells and feeds them. Yes you get the benefits of moving, decreasing blood sugar, reducing body fat, etc., but you are focusing on the elimination of bad products. Instead, you should focus on marinating in nutrients and giving your body the nutrients it needs for health. That way, you are processing healthy building blocks while also washing out toxins. This helps you benefit from exercise. Next, we can explore which type of exercises you would benefit from depending on your wants and time restraints. You can easily fit a great and easy exercise routine into your daily life.

Osteopathic Manipulation
Accelerate the healing process through Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT), often delivering immediate, noticeable results. OMT stands out as it is the most comprehensive manual medicine that is performed by a physician. It can be used to assess and treat any structure in the body such as muscles, organs, lymphatic vessels, or cranial rhythm. OMT is fantastic for almost anything like back pain, headaches, you name it. After you receive relief with OMT, even though the OMT initiated your self-healing, you will have specific exercises prescribed to you to maintain. My goal is to teach you how to heal yourself.

Herbs, Supplements, and Natural Remedies
Natural medicines can help with acute issues as well as long-term healing. I think it’s important to have a doctor who is well versed in physiology and how the body works as well as pathology and diseases. Many self-acclaimed experts recommend many natural medicines that might not help. We will use specific natural medicines personalized for your medical history. If you don’t have a good lifestyle, using natural medicines as a replacement is just “green allopathy.” You will still be covering up symptoms. I want to help you understand how to use natural medicines as short term and then maintain health with lifestyle. I have a strong background in herbal and natural medicines by growing up around naturopaths and traditional osteopaths, learning from them for a lifetime, shadowing many different alternative medicine specialists and physicians, studying lifestyle interventions in my master of public health as well as in medical school, studying integrative and functional medicine, and personally using natural medicines in my family’s daily lives. What makes me unique is my understanding of traditional osteopathy how the body is self-healing. All treatment should be temporary, and the osteopathic perspective is that we get you to a place of as perfect health as possible, where you do not need anything to remain healthy other than a nature-based lifestyle where you supply your body with all the raw materials to heal itself. Together, we can explore what might be helpful for you. These include vitamins, minerals, herbs, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, specific foods, and so on.

Rather than simply masking symptoms with any type of drug, natural medicine, or even OMT, learn how to actually make lifestyle changes to give you true health from within. Together, we can focus on healthcare instead of sickcare. Our common mission is to address the root causes to facilitate healing and help you maintain health.
