I look at the whole person rather than an isolated complaint. I look for patterns rather than single data points and I try to find the thread that connects what feels like unrelated problems.

 

Most people who find me are looking for a way of understanding their body that makes sense of what they've actually lived. This is the thinking behind my work.​

​

The Body Is An Adaptive System

A living body is a continuously self-organizing system. It is always sensing, adjusting, and compensating in response to everything it lives. This includes stress, sleep, food, light, water, emotions, and relationships.

​

So, a symptom is not a malfunction. It's the system's best available response to the conditions. And a pattern in one place often has roots in another.

​​

Symptoms Are Information

A body that can't sleep is telling you something. So is poor digestion, refractory fatigue, headaches, skin rashes, physical and emotional pain. I listen for the message inside the symptoms an offer layers of understanding so you can work with your body and not against it.

​

The Distance Between Feeling And Knowing

Mainstream medicine is extraordinary at what it does best: emergencies, acute illness, injury, and conditions that can be clearly identified and treated. Many of us are alive because of it.

But many people live knowing something is off, and no one can say what. Their labs are normal. Their appointments are short and sweet. Their experience doesn't fit the categories. That gap is where I spend my time.
