Principles of Integrative Medicine

Collaborative Relationship:
We emphasize a strong therapeutic relationship between patient and practitioner, focusing on collaboration and teamwork.

Patient Participation:
Your active participation is essential. We might suggest lifestyle changes to benefit your health, always with compassion and without judgment.

Evidence-Based Approach:
Our practices are informed by the latest guidelines from reputable organizations like the American Society of Reproductive Medicine and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as international health bodies.

Therapies Used:
We use a combination of acupuncture, custom herbal medicine, supplements, nutrition, lifestyle recommendations, and comprehensive bloodwork. We may also refer you for additional testing or to other providers if needed.

Balanced Perspective:
We neither reject conventional medicine nor accept natural therapies uncritically. Our approach is holistic, addressing your mental, emotional, and physical health.

Holistic Care:
We consider the whole person, not just the disease. Factors such as personal relationships, lifestyle, and past experiences are all taken into account in your treatment.
