My Roots

My passion for health came early in my professional life - nearly thirty years ago now - while working for a member of the Alaska State Legislature who represented the most frontier area of the State. We were dealing with an outbreak of TB caused by inadequate public health infrastructure, and extremely limited access to health and medical care across the span of 200,000 square miles (the size of France!). This was my first exposure to the massive disparities that exist in our health care system and I have dedicated my career to advocating for greater access for underserved populations.

In 2008, after a decade of serving as professional staff in the U.S. Congress, I made the decision to as a teacher at the undergraduate and graduate levels; and now as a clinician working with individuals to improve their health and wellbeing.

My training centers me at the intersection of the cardinal directions – a Master’s degree in the science of Western herbalism; graduate studies on the ancient diagnostic practices of Eastern traditions; and more than a decade of apprenticing the knowledge of plant and nature spirit medicine under the teachings of indigenous North and South American medicine healers. From this grounded center point, my practice teaches the art of living well by cultivating skills to observe our bodies, our thoughts and our reactions. I use the many tools in my medicine cabinet to support your journey to wellness – herbs, foods, words, movement, Reiki, sound and other vibrational and lifestyle medicines – to gently awaken our innate capacity to heal at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels.
