Why Wiser Medicine?

Wiser Medicine means that we explore what health means to you, together

I launched Wiser Medicine in 2019 as a format to synthesize my lifetime of learning as a Family Physician, Holistic and Integrative Physician, mother, grandmother, step mom, wife and so many roles. I truly believe that I am here to share what I have learned and know. I believe there is a Wiser Way to practice medicine that centers on a collaborative relationship between those looking for answers and a Health Guide, like myself. This Wiser Way is rooted in more than the science of health and healing, but both a broader and deeper experience of healing. Broader in that many modalities that I have studied and practiced, including Mind Body Medicine techniques like Guided Imagery, Meditation, Movement, Yoga and Qi Gong, Acupressure have a role in health. Deeper in that I encourage the practice of self reflection, and going inward to access your Inner Wisdom. My definition of the Inner Wisdom is accessing one’s knowing, one’s gut sense or intuition,  which for many people has a spiritual component. I know it does for me and it is important that I respect everyone’s spiritual and religious traditions. 

 I love learning the “why” of how a particular technique works in the body- the scientific evidence. AND i get excited with the mystery of healing and thriving. At the time of my website relaunch I am seeing healing and recovery in a whole new light as I am recuperating from a total knee replacement . This is a humbling experience I will be sharing more of soon. 

Wiser Medicine means that we explore what health means to you together. It is a different relationship than coming to see me in a medical office. This is a relationship in which I am a guide to help you on your journey to optimal health . 

It is a fun discovery process and I look forward to being on this journey together. If you’d like more guidance on incorporating Wiser Medicine practices, please schedule your free 30 minute consult today.

 Be well,
