She is able to work with patients currently on medications or under the care of a Dermatologist, either co-managing their care or assisting in their transition to natural medicine as their primary treatment.

Biotin, or vitamin B7, is essential to hair, nail and skin health. While our own bodies produce biotin in the liver and the kidneys, it is important to also get it through the food we eat. Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is another important member of the vitamin B complex that improves circulation and promotes skin hydration. Foods that provide significant amounts of both biotin and thiamine include nutrient-dense animal products, nuts, and seeds. Top sources are beef liver, pork, salmon, eggs, sunflower seeds, and legumes.

Healthy skin starts with healing the root cause . . .
. . . not just managing symptoms.
That’s why you may have tried so many medications only to find out they didn’t work for you, or why they may make your skin feel or look better -- but only for awhile. Your problem keeps coming back because conventional treatments don’t always resolve the health imbalances causing your skin condition.
Herbal medicine naturally stimulates your body to work as it was meant to, allowing your skin to regenerate. It begins healing your condition from the inside out. When you resolve the internal imbalances causing your skin condition, the reward is lasting skin health. By treating the root cause, you CAN get your natural skin back!
