Through coaching and other creative approaches, she helps women manage the rich and often trying complexities of their lives: marriage, family, work, health and multiple other concerns.

We all want to be healthy and vibrant. As a woman and a doctor I want to see a woman live her fullest life possible.

The treatments I provide are natural, safe and effective working with the body’s innate healing energy to correct hormonal imbalance and to bring about true health.

Unfortunately many women from the onset of their first menses suffer from pain and heavy flow.

Medication is often used as a stop gap measure to control pain and flow, but it does not correct the underlying problem. These menstrual difficulties may fade over time only to be replaced by intense pre-menstrual tension involving mood swings and anxiety. With Homeopathic treatment and dietary changes menstrual pain is eliminated and the flow normalizes.

For those women suffering from either pain, heavy flow or premenstrual syndrome, with treatment I often hear the comment,” I just got my period today and didn’t even realize it would be coming because I’ve felt so well.”

Women in peri-menopause or menopause sometimes turn to conventional hormone therapy or to bio-identical hormones and find relief in this way. While hormone therapy can be helpful it does not restore true balance. Other women wary of hormones often struggle on with night sweats, sleeplessness and mood changes until menopause comes to an end. Homeopathic treatment creates a new healthy balance.

Lichen Sclerosus is a chronic painful skin condition that affects numerous women. The most typical form of conventional treatment is corticosteroids which can provide some relief but not cure. Many women may not be aware that there are other successful ways of treating this condition. Homeopathic treatment is one such way. The medicines used are non-toxic and are prescribed based on the unique individual symptoms of the person being treated.

With proper Homeopathic treatment what seemed so difficult in our lives before may become become easier to deal with; food cravings subside, mood and sleep improve. Our systems are balanced; resilience is enhanced and revitalization occurs.
