After a career in the pharmaceutical industry, which included both laboratory and sales experience, she realized that there are alternatives to the conventional Western Medical approach to addressing disease. She believes that the mind, body and spirit are integral components in the healing process and complements Western Medicine. She can treat a wide variety of conditions and health issues specializing in pain syndromes, headaches, stress, allergies and women’s health issues.
She has trained with Dr. Richard Tan and due to its proven clinical effectiveness, uses his Balance Method to treat not only pain, but many chronic conditions and internal illnesses. She is certified in NET, NeuroEmotional Technique, a mindbody stress reduction technique that helps with acute as well as chronic, hard to resolve conditions. She is also certified in NAET®, an all-natural form of allergy identification and elimination, without the use of drugs or injections.
