Philosophy of Care
I am passionate about wellness and disease prevention and will work with you to develop an effective and practical lifestyle plan for optimum health. My goal is to educate patients and empower them to take charge of their health. I believe that with proper diet, exercise and stress reduction, each person can reach their maximum potential, physically, emotionally and spiritually. With such interventions I have seen patients lower their risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
