Do you feel like your body is not operating at it’s full potential? My greatest passion in life is cultivating total health and wellness. I want to increase accessibility to healing modalities. This is the first step to making the world healthy again. I have created a platform to offer support for complimentary and alternative practitioners by forming space where their voices can be heard.

I am on the path to becoming an integrative medicine practitioner myself. I am training in holistic health, herbal medicine and dietary healing. Using a holistic approach, I mentor youth who struggle with substance abuse. I have also crafted healing of my community through my position of general manager at a vegan restaurant called Garden to Grill.
