To facilitate clients’ own healing process, using herbal supplements and vitamins to bring the body back in balance. Health is our normal, natural condition which can be maintained by nutrition and exercise and the elimination of toxins and stressors.
To educate communities and individuals to attain and maintain optimum health.

My Simply Aware of Self Roadmap is a unique approach to help women regain their energy, focus, and gut health, naturally without prescriptions so they can live life fully, feeling and looking their best… especially if you’ve already seen lots of doctors.

At Simply Aware of Self, I believe that health is wealth... and that everyone deserves vibrant health. Unfortunately, the conventional medical system wasn't designed for creating & maintaining vibrant health... it was born out of the need for acute care interventions (think fractures, car accidents, and the like).

In a time where chronic wellness issues threaten to bankrupt millions of families and entire countries, we need an altogether different approach that cost-effectively addresses the underlying factors that create disease... without expensive and toxic prescription drugs that merely mask symptoms.

This new approach is called functional medicine.

In fact, it's actually not entirely new... it's how medicine was practiced 4000 years ago.

What's new is that I have brought advanced lab testing and a keen systems-biology approach to medicine – which is short for looking at the body as a system of interconnected organs that need to play in perfect sync to function optimally.

That's what coined the term "Functional Medicine" because ultimately, it's about restoring proper function to all the body's systems.

A good analogy is your car: For your car to get optimal mileage, you need to maintain it consistently: Change the motor oil, change spark plugs, keep it shined to prevent rusting, and take it to the body shop when the "Check Engine" light is on, fill it up with the appropriate fuel.

That's exactly how to approach your body with functional medicine... it's not about what to do when your body is broken, it's about maintaining proper health in the first place, and preventing the body from breaking down.
