Functional Medicine and Strategic Coaching for your Happiest and Healthiest Life.
As a certified physician assistant and health educator, I practice a unique, "functional" approach to medical care. I work to offer solutions to the crippling numbers of individuals suffering with chronic health conditions by shifting focus from managing diseases to optimizing health and investigating underlying causes of disease. In the functional medicine approach there is a partnership between the provider and patient, and the focus is on treating the whole person – mind, body and spirit. I utilize a wide array of diagnostic and treatment modalities based on best practices from a variety of medical approaches to explain why symptoms present and help you get to the root cause of illness. I also help you implement strategic life style interventions to prevent, treat and reverse most chronic diseases.
Since discovering functional medicine, I have had the wonderful opportunity to learn from and practice along side Dr. Taz Bhatia, MD at the nationally recognized Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine. This experience has expanded my knowledge of integrative medical practice and I have successfully treated hundreds of men, women and children with a variety of medical ailments using a foundation of diet, exercise, self care, herbal/nutrtional remedies, hormone balance and various complementary modalities. Since leaving my work with Dr. Taz, I have begun working with Hamilton Mill Family Complete Care, an integrated medical-chiropractic practice with the intention of widening access to functional medicine among North Georgia residents.
Functional medicine has renewed my enthusiasm for medicine and provided me with the tools I need to fulfill my calling to help people acheive true wellness - mind, body and spirit.
