I believe many people and pets are unnecessarily suffering from nutritional deficiencies and toxicities that are not being addressed. My focus for my clients is to first identify the root cause imbalance, help their body heal followed by achieving and sustaining vibrant health. When your health is optimal and you're thriving you become a better version of yourself and therefore have the ability to contribute more to loved ones, sentient beings and the rest of the world around you. Emotional happiness and well-being comes from living in a vibrant body. This is one of my ways of helping to create and contribute to world peace.
