Important Links

  • Patient Portal—When you schedule your first visit, you will receive an email invitation to create your patient portal account. All your new patient paperwork will be completed there. The use of the ChARM patient portal is necessary for working with me, if this is a problem, we will not be a good fit to work together as I rely heavily on the portal for patient communication, billing, scheduling, etc.

  • Fullscript—Supplement prescriptions for items unavailable from your local retailer. Supplements are to be used in a targeted and temporary supportive manner only.

What Kind of Care do You Offer?

My main focus is CranioSacral Therapy in the Upledger Style. This is a hands-on treatment that is guided by your inner wisdom and how it communicates through the tissues and energy fields of your body.

I also offer Naturopathic herbal medicine, including nutrition and lifestyle medicine recommendations.

The care I offer is specialized and focused, and designed to follow your symptoms, watch how your body responds to stress and support, and help you utilize the gentlest and most profound medicines (CranioSacral Therapy and plants) to identify and change long-held patterns and heal at a deeper level.
