Apotheosis Medicine
Your body already knows the way back.
I help you hear it.
This is a practice built around close attention — to patterns, to seasons, to what symptoms are actually saying. Using Classical Chinese Medicine and Western herbal and nutritional medicine, I look for the root, not just the branch. Two people with the same diagnosis may need entirely different care.
The clinical work is one part of what happens here. Underneath every symptom is a story — the way a person narrates their experience, relates to their body, and moves through change. What I have learned, from decades of practice and from teachers who knew this before I did, is that awareness is medicine. The herbs help. The presence is the point.
Most people arrive here because something isn't working —
— in the body, in life, or in the way the two are relating to each other. Often they've tried other approaches. Often they've been told the problem is smaller or simpler than it feels.
In my practice, the starting place is always inquiry — shared, unhurried, and specific to you. Using Classical Chinese Medicine and Western herbal and nutritional medicine, I look for the pattern underneath the symptom: what is the body actually doing, and why? Two people with the same diagnosis may need entirely different care because the root is never the same twice.
But the clinical work is only part of what happens here. Underneath every symptom is a story — the way a person narrates their experience, relates to their body, and moves through change. I was trained to understand that my most powerful medicine is presence: the ability to listen in a way that allows me to hear what's actually being said. The herbs, the dietary recommendations, the protocols — these are tools. What they serve is awareness. Your body is already working to return to health. We are helping it find the way.
Life moves. Seasons change. What the body needs in one year is not what it needs in the next. The relationships I build are designed to move with you — close attention when it's needed, a lighter hand as things settle, and always the thread of continuity that knows where you've been.
There are two ways into this practice.
Clinical Entry Point
Taking Stock
Something isn't right, and you want to understand what's actually happening — not just manage it. Taking Stock is where we begin.
An extended opening session — unhurried, wide-ranging, clinically grounded. We take stock of where you are: your history, your patterns, what's been tried, what the body is doing and why. A detailed protocol follows within a week. Two follow-up sessions track how you're responding and give us room to adjust.
By the end of Taking Stock, we'll know together what kind of ongoing support, if any, makes sense. Some people find they have what they need. Others move into continuing care. Either outcome is complete.

Accompaniment Entry Point
Digesting Life
For people who are drawn not primarily to clinical resolution, but to a more conscious way of inhabiting their lives — learning to observe themselves with curiosity, to move with change rather than against it, to understand what the body is saying before it has to shout.
This work is organized by the seasons, because the seasons are not just a schedule — they are the content. Each season brings its own quality of attention, its own demands, its own herbs and orientations. We meet within that rhythm, tracking what's present, developing practices that support a new way of being.
Digest Life is available to people who have worked with me clinically or attended a retreat and want ongoing integration. It is also open to those who are simply drawn to this way of seeing and want a guide.

After Taking Stock or a season of Digest Life, ongoing care takes whatever shape the relationship calls for. I don't offer fixed programs — I offer continuing attention, calibrated to where you actually are.
Active ongoing care For people in a period of real complexity — a shifting condition, a significant transition, a pattern that needs sustained clinical attention. We meet regularly, with frequency determined by what's happening. Between-visit support is included. This phase tends to be shorter than people expect; most move into lighter contact as the work settles.
Long-term stewardship For people who have found their footing and want to stay in relationship with their health over time. Two substantive visits a year, timed to the seasonal turns, with access to support when something acute arises. This is the long relationship — the one that holds your history, tracks change across years, and is there when something shifts.
