My interest in health and wellness began in 1997 when I became a student at
The Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, MN. Aveda is based on the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic Medicine.
After graduating, I worked at a salon that embraced both Ayurvedic and Homeopathic Medicine.
Motivated to learn more about global medical models, in 2014, I enrolled in an online
Masters program for Integrative Medicine, provided by an institution that integrated
Eastern Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western Osteopathic and Allopathic Medicine methods.
My doctorate program focused on Natural and Orthopathic Medicine.
Currently, I am studying Functional Medicine,
an emerging model that considers genetics and lifestyle to identify the root cause of illness.
