My Journey

I'm Dot β€” wife, mom to three littles, and the founder of this practice.

Before functional medicine, I spent more than a decade in emergency medicine, trauma, and acute surgery. Those high-pressure environments taught me how to stay steady when it matters most β€” how to listen quickly, think clearly, and care for people in their hardest moments.

But somewhere along the way, treating people at their most critical sparked something different in me. I started asking why β€” why this body, why this illness, why now? I watched too many people land in the emergency room from conditions that had been quietly building for years. And I knew there had to be a better way.

That's what brought me to functional medicine. And honestly? It's also what brought me to my own family's wellness journey.

As a mom of three young kids and a wife, I know how hard it is to prioritize your own health while caring for everyone else. I know what it's like to want better answers for your children β€” root-cause answers, not just another prescription. I know the late-night Googling, the long waits at the pediatrician, the gut feeling that something more is going on.

I built this practice for women, moms, and families who deserve more than fifteen minutes and a prescription pad β€” who deserve to be listened to, taken seriously, and cared for as whole humans.

I bring my emergency-medicine clinical foundation, my functional medicine training, and my own experience as a mom doing the work alongside you to every visit.

I'm here to listen. To care deeply. And to walk with you toward a more balanced life β€” for you and for the people you love most.
