For as long as I can remember, I have always had the desire to help people. When I was a young girl, I would play with my Barbie dolls and make believe I was the hero who would protect everyone and save the world! I never really realized how my childhood games would play out until my Mom became very sick. She was diagnosed with lung cancer and I was devastated. It was then when I began to realize that traditional medicine was not the answer. I watched my Mom struggle for many years taking medication after medication and never ever getting well. It was then when I decided to become a holistic doctor, because I knew that I had to do something not only to help my Mom, but to help so many others who were suffering as well.

I was a teenager when I first became aware of the connection between the quality of our thoughts and our physical well being. I quickly realized how the thoughts we think have a profound effect on the health of our physical body. Several years later, while attendinng chiropractic school, I was introduced to the concept of how proper nutrition has a profound effect on our overall physical health as well. It was then when I began to really understand the mind-body connection.
