Welcome!

Welcome to my website!  I am a Natural Health and Wellness Practitioner located just outside of San Antonio, Texas.  As a Naturopathic Doctor, Licensed Massage Therapist, Aromatherapy Consultant and Health and Wellness Coach, I offer a wide range of Services to help people be as healthy and they can possibly be…naturally!

This website is set up in a blog format; you can see on the right hand side of the page (Recent Posts) there are links to past articles that I have written.   Also be sure to click on “Categories” to get to the area you would like to read about!

You can read “About Me” in the “About Me” section, but here’s some more information.  For those of you who don’t know what a Naturopathic Doctor is, let me explain.  My training and schooling has been in natural therapies….I have been schooled and have studied all about nutrition, herbs, plants/flowers and other therapies like homeopathy, massage therapy, aromatherapy, etc.  My goal is to educate you on those same aforementioned natural therapies to help keep you, your family, friends and yes, even your pets, healthy and well (hence the name for this website).  It is my wish and passion to share with you resources, ideas, healthy recipes and knowledge so you are better able to help yourself and your family and friends.  This information will emphasize making lifestyle changes, getting stress relief, and making nutritional recommendations, all of which will help in the prevention of disease!

Naturopath’s suggest nutritional and lifestyle changes for you to make in your life and offer suggestions for natural and herbal therapies you can take to help you find your healthy balance again.  These suggestions can be simple things like a hot bath with Epson Salts or certain types of teas to drink.  They can also be more indepth nutritional therapies where herbal extracts or essential oils would be recommended to correct an imbalance within the body.

My personal passion is to help as many people as possible and open their eyes to “another way” to look at health.  The way that doesn’t include 10 different prescription drug medications (the average number of prescriptions that a new patient is on that comes to our clinic).  The way that says there are things you can do….simple things…..to maintain your health, to get healthy (if you’re not right now) and to stay healthy for the rest of your life!  My hope for this website is that it will expose you to different ideas and resources of natural things you can do in your life to help your body be healthier!

If you are truly ready to put yourself first and make your health a #1 priority, I invite you to visit my Services page to determine what option best fits you.  I am happy to answer any questions about the natural health services I provide, so feel free to Contact Me.   Even if you are not in the San Antonio area, I can still assist you with your health and help you feel better!  Telephone consultations are available and can be done at your convenience and from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Thanks for visiting my website and hope you find the information useful. 

Stay Healthy and Well!
