Inspired by health and humanity: “I have worked as a nurse since 2010 and as a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner since 2016. As long as I can remember, I’ve been interested in women’s health and nutrition. I spent my early college years teaching yoga and meditation while studying behavioral science and public health. I really loved the idea of helping people live healthier lives across the globe, inspiring my work with several humanitarian local and international organizations.”

‍

Tapping into your self-understanding: “So many of the women that I work with had their symptoms dismissed for years. My goal is always for us to become partners throughout our health journey. I like to remind my patients regularly that while I may be an expert in women’s health, they're still the expert on their body. There’s research, but there’s also inner wisdom, and I think it’s really important to honor both.”

‍

‍The reward: “Hands down, the best part of my job is hearing women say that they feel like themselves after treatment. It’s been well-documented that women are the gatekeepers of health for their families and communities. By helping women to better care for themselves, they’re able to show up more fully for those around them.”
