I am driven by the vision that NO child should ever have to take a potentially toxic and harmful product that may cause them to have long term negative side effects.

That NO child ever unnecessarily suffers because of the negative side effects from a prescription or an over the counter medication.

That I see so many parents taking chances on their child’s health because it is easier to give them a teaspoon or a pill, and this breaks my heart because I know there are so many natural remedies that work instead, safer and even more effectively.

Understandably, you may be overwhelmed and daunted by the idea of figuring it all out on your own and that’s where I come in.

You don’t have to spend countless hours researching this and that for yourself.

You do not have try several different products, trial and error, to find the one that will work best for your child’s specific health needs or ailment.

I have done all that for you already.

What you need to have is a commitment to your child’s health and a willingness to use all natural remedies instead of conventional treatments.

As an Osteopathic Pediatrician, you can trust me to understand the benefits and side effects of any prescription or over the counter medication your child may be on, and expertly incorporate natural remedies so your child feels better, not worse.

I believe that all the healing remedies we need have been provided to us in the form of plants and using plants as our medicine is always the better choice.

Hippocrates, the father of medicine once said: “Let food be your medicine and medicine your food.” This is my vision and my goal for your child.

“Doctor, doctor, I’m sorry but I have to wake you up to start your I.V.,” the nurse said.

I was in the hospital because I’d asked a colleague to admit me for my Pansinusitus (that’s an infection is all 8 of your sinuses) and Acute Bronchitis that I’d had for over 3 months long.

In all my days as doctor, this was the only time I had met my own criteria for admission and I had become the patient.

I was soon placed on oxygen, IV fluids which felt like a burning in arm), IV antibiotics that gave me join pain, breathing treatments causing palpitations and steroids which meant weight gain and mood swings.

I was good patient, taking and following all of my doctors prescriptions and specialist instructions and after the 3rd CT scan, I still had Pansinusitus and Bronchitis.

I was breathing a little better but still having to go home for extended lunch breaks to rest and do my breathing treatment.

I thought to myself, “the Doctor could NOT heal herself” and I was frustrated and fed up.

One day I was taking a nap on a day off and when I woke up, it was like a light bulb had turned on in my head: I’m an osteopath, I know what to do!

I can get my back and sinuses manipulated, I can try alternative medicines like chiropractic treatments, acupuncture, reflexology, reiki, vitamins and essential oils, and thus my quest began.

On an all natural medicines, I got perfectly well in no time. I was using Alkalol with saline as a nose wash, osteopathic manipulation of my sacroiliac joint and sinuses, acupunture, reflexology treatments, high doses of Vitamin C and wonderfully smelling herbs and essential oils I purchased.

Many years have passed since then but I still remember how I had no negative side effects, no toxin build up – just daily improvement.

At that point, I began to establish a daily routine of all natural products to help myself, my family and children. We now had control, knowing what product could help us when we did get sick again and a daily routine to prevent getting sick as much as possible.

Since then I have ran several half marathons (22 to be exact, currently trying to complete one in each of the 50 states by the time I am 60). I have personally lost 30lbs along the way with simple diet and exercise changes.

I have also attended several natural health, integrative medicine, osteopathic, holistic, homeopathic, vegetarian and vegan conferences and lectures which have afforded me much valuable information that I share with others through my coaching sessions.

I created an easy 12 week program consisting of a daily routine that I teach to clients. It is a step by step process that helps parents chose natural plant based products instead of conventional remedies for their families – avoiding side effects and getting better every day.

It’s a wonderful feeling to know what and how to use something that works for your health and long-term wellness everyday and what to do when you do get sick occasionally.
