I always knew the body has the innate ability to heal itself which is what led me to my training as an Osteopath. As a practicing physician in hospitals and private practice I quickly became frustrated with not having enough time or the right tools to help my patients with their complaints. I left every day exhausted and unsatisfied with the career I spent so long training for. I kept thinking I could do so much more than simply prescribe a medication or refer to a specialist.

My experience as a physician with the healthcare system, and my own personal health challenges as a patient, led me to pursue training in functional medicine. It was in my very first functional medicine lecture that I had my “Ah Ha” moment! Functional medicine aligned perfectly with my osteopathic training. It was literally the toolbox I needed to help apply the osteopathic principles I so passionately believed in.
