Reflections on COVID-19
As we slowly see new COVID cases rising I’ve been reflecting on how COVID has changed the way we live our lives. The impact is huge on our mental and physical health but many of us are minimizing how we feel because we realize that others always have it worse. Despite...
How Are You Feeling?
I hope that when you come in to see me in the clinic it is obvious that I absolutely LOVE what I do. I would never do anything else and cannot believe that I graduated 14 years ago. With everything that has been happening in the world, I have been reflecting on my...

Skin
Your skin is your largest organ. It is also one of your main modes of detoxification along with the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. Is it any wonder that we are always struggling for clear, healthy skin? Many suffer with acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Many...
Superfoods?
A superfood is actually a marketing name for foods with extra health benefits. Most of the time these foods are high in antioxidants. Antioxidants help to bind toxins in the body and get rid of them more effectively than if the body was just trying to do it alone....
