I knew it was time for a different way to support people in health & wellness…

Through my experience of building a thriving naturopathic clinic and herbal apothecary in downtown Sonoma, California, I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of patients. Offering a general family practice, I became familiar with the needs of pediatrics, women’s health, supportive cancer care, medical weight loss, and chronic health conditions.

There are some aspects of personalized naturopathic care that can only be done in-person (such as lab testing and IV therapies). But I came to realize that many of my patients were investing in 1:1 care or calling the office with questions that could be more easily and better addressed through educational resources. Hence the birth of Vitality West Wellness.

My end goal has always been to support others in having more energy, vitality, and optimal wellness.

My approach strikes a balance between evidence-based medicine and eclectic natural healing traditions. I am open to taking advantage of the benefits or prescription medications, herbs, homeopathy, nutrition, and lifestyle—in whatever combination is best for each individual. It is an unbiased approach that allows for both science AND nature to work together.

Where it all started

I used to think I wanted to follow in my grandfather’s footsteps and become an optometrist, so I studied biology and pre-med in undergrad. I discovered naturopathic medicine along the way (partly through working in the nutrition department at Windmill Farms, a local health food store), and went on to complete the N.D. degree at National College of Natural Medicine. I intimately enjoy working with the patients in my practice and am thrilled to now be bringing this message more far and wide.
