Women's Health

I specialize in women’s healthcare and integrates mind/body medicine in the practice. I offer complete health care options for women and their families, including adolescent gynecological healthcare.

Women’s heath encompasses all of the healthcare needs of each woman. This is not limited to uterine and breast health, but also includes heart, bone, and digestive health.

If you experience intense PMS each month or have risk factors for breast cancer or osteoporosis, I will work with you to find the answers to your questions and concerns, and will determine the best approach to the various aspects of your health.

The body, one interconnected organism, requires an integrated approach and consistent care for optimal functioning and enjoyment.

Personalized Care

I provide personal care unique to each patient. Naturopathic medicine focuses on treating each person as a distinct and whole entity. The treatment plan offered will encompass all the aspects of health: mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical.

I specialize in working with each woman’s needs to create an individualized wellness plan including counseling, incorporation of mind/body elements, stress management, and lifestyle modification.

Prevention and Wellness

Naturopathic medicine is founded on the idea of prevention and finding the most appropriate health-promoting pathway for each individual.

The concept of prevention applies to the entire spectrum of women's healthcare including osteoporosis, breast cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. I will work with you to minimize your risk factors and maximize your health.

Lifestyle plays a crucial role in the risk factors of the above conditions. I understand that changing one's lifestyle is the most difficult challenge for all of us. I will work closely with you to develop a plan that works, fitting your needs and schedule.

Menopause: A Natural Process of Change

Menopause is a natural transition in a woman's life, not a disease that must be cured. However, the symptoms can be mitigated to improve your quality of life. Menopause brings emotional upheaval and change that is often misunderstood by friends and family.

Menopause encompasses multiple physical symptoms and a strong mental/emotional component. In this time of life it is particularly important to treat both, a belief I hold strongly. This whole person approach greatly contributes to an enhanced feeling of harmony and well-being.

Menopausal symptoms present differently for each woman and may be correlated to the severity of your PMS. Balancing your hormonal system before the onset of menopause often decreases menopausal symptoms. Working with me before hot flashes begin can decrease the anxiety and increase the pleasure of this very special transition period in a woman's life.
