After medical specialization, I turned my focus on the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. However, despite developing a highly successful conventional cardiology practice I became restless. I began to feel that my training in conventional medicine only skimmed the surface when it actually came to healing. So, in 2008 my unconventional path began. I was introduced to Andrew Weil, MD and Tieraona LowDog, MD at the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine where I completed a two-year integrative medicine fellowship. As in Mary Olivers poem, The Journey, I was now prepared to leave the comforts of home (conventional medicine) and have the courage to blaze a new trail (integrative health and healing). From there my journey has led me down a much less traveled path including the study of mindfulness, wilderness immersion and shamanic healing practices. These experiences helped me to hear with clarity that internal voice calling me to reach deeper into health and healing by embracing the entirety of human experience from body, mind, soul and spirit. As an integrative health consultant, I recognize the power of individual healing and will provide you with the guidance and resources to optimize your healing journey.
