Integrative Medicine
Where the practice of medicine and the love of plants meet
I am a physician who never stopped being a gardener.
For twenty five years I cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, and the long middle of their lives. Alongside all of it I kept reading about plants: what they do, how they were used, why a leaf can change the way a body works.
This site is not a practice page. It is a place to read about how I think, and to find the things I trust.
My Approach
I trained in it and I trust it. Labs, imaging, and evidence tell me what is actually happening in a body before anything else is added to it.
Herbs and plants have supported health for thousands of years. I use them alongside conventional medicine, never in place of it.
What you eat, how you sleep, how you move through a day. These are the levers that move the most, and they come before another prescription.
Wellness
I use Fullscript to share the supplements I actually reach for, at the quality and potency I would want for my own family. Ordering happens on their site, not here.
