Pause
“Many of us are trying to pour from a precariously empty cup in midlife. Pausing, taking inventory of our needs, and strategically refilling our cup may feel like just another thing to - yet the ripple affect of personalized, proactive care can be immense.”

Learning To Integrate
I was a yogi and meditator since my early 20s and grew up in Europe where the use of western herbalism was commonplace and mainstream. I compartmentalized my holistic understanding of wellbeing and health during my medical training and tucked it away in a different part of my life. It was not until I was supporting patients with symptoms that conventional medicine had insufficient answers for that I found myself considering their lifestyle, their social and spiritual needs, their nutrition and their own health philosophy and healing traditions. While we have robust evidence that these aspects of life have profound impact on wellbeing and resilience – they also don’t usually find their way into the exam room.
