I started this practice in 2011 with the motivation of helping people have an easier time at life. Isn’t that what its all about? I’m honored that our therapists and I are able to effect areas of health that aren’t well-addressed in the mainstream medical model. We can help you course-correct minor to medium health issues before they become something more substantial, needing the intervention of a medical doctor.

And if you’re already under the supervision of an expert medical team, our complimentary treatment modalities play a synergistically supportive role in keeping you functioning opitimally.
