Philosophy of Care
My inherent faith in the self-regulating wisdom of nature has been strengthened by
my experience as an Ayurveda practitioner and Osteopathic physician. My Western medical
education and practice has given me great appreciation for today’s science and
technology. By combining these sources of training and experience, I am happy to offer
a comprehensive approach to health and healing: Eastern and Western; balancing ancient
wisdom with the knowledge of new scientific discoveries.
At the beginning
of our partnership as patient and provider, we create a comprehensive assessment of
your health: I ask about your past and current history, medications, supplements and
prior complementary treatments. I also look at your family medical history, as well
as your social and occupational experiences. We discuss what makes you happy and what
creates stress for you.
I also assess your physical and mental constitution
from an Osteopathic and Ayurvedic perspective, simultaneously keeping in mind the
tenets of Western medicine. Important information about your health can be gathered
from cues such as your vital signs, posture, voice, skin, pulse, tongue, heart and
lungs. In other words, I put together the pieces of the puzzle that make you a unique
individual.
From there we consider a range of treatment options, including
therapies available through our integrative team, and recommendations that may include
lifestyle and dietary changes, brief courses of herbal supplementation, Osteopathic
Manipulative Treatment (OMT), meditation, pranayama (breath control), yoga practices,
routines tailored to seasonal changes, and exercise. Therapy is tailored to fit your
needs and your ability to make realistic and sustainable changes toward better health.
