With this in mind, she addresses all aspects of health (physical, mental and emotional) in order to empower the patient to achieve and maintain good health.
What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrative medicine combines conventional medical treatments with evidence-based complementary therapies to address the person as a whole – mind and body - to promote optimal health and healing.
