The Experience You Can Trust
With over 20 years in the natural health industry, my foundation is built on a rare lineage of clinical wisdom. For 18 of those years, I worked alongside a prestigious team of Naturopathic Doctors—mentors and legends in the community who carry over 100 years of collective knowledge.
While attending school and advancing my credentials, I logged thousands of hours of on-the-job training and decades of continuing education. This immersion allowed me to merge “old-world” clinical experience with modern, cutting edge evidence based modalities. My professional journey, which began in management and administration at age 13, has gifted me with the ability to guide multidisciplinary teams with efficiency, effectiveness, and a mastery of multitasking—all while remaining fully present with every person I encounter.
The Root Cause Philosophy: Going Deeper
Throughout my decades of practice, I have watched a frustrating pattern: people moving from one treatment to the next, one provider to the next, only to receive temporary relief. They find themselves trapped in a cycle of managing symptoms rather than resolving them. After years of observing these consistent cycles, my conclusion was clear: we were missing the mark. To achieve lasting transformation, we have to go deeper.
I believe the body is a storyteller. Whether you are experiencing a psychosomatic response or a physical manifestation of an emotional wound, your body is communicating a need. Truly getting to the root of what holds you back requires time, patience, and a willingness to look at your life as a whole—Body, Soul, and Spirit.
I don’t believe in “throwing the kitchen sink” at a problem and hoping something sticks. Instead, I journey alongside you to create a plan focused on your individual needs. By prioritizing clinical, medical, or therapeutic interventions based on your unique history, we address the voids and imbalances at their source.
A Servant’s Heart
As a mother, my passion for wellness is lived out daily. I have raised my children to be intuitively aware of their bodies’ cues—teaching them not just how to nurture their physical selves, but how to recognize the voids in the soul and spirit that require care.
This same nurturing, preventative philosophy is what I offer my community. Outside of the clinic, I am an active member of my church and various ministries. I am fueled by a servant’s heart that sees the best and the true potential in everyone. I desire to see you living your best life, free from the cycles that have held you back.

Keeping our bodies, minds and enthusiasm for life alive
The path of life is different for everyone and we are not all created the same. We all have different strengths and weaknesses; some of us are blessed with fantastic genes that have enabled us to live each day to the fullest and some of us have had less than optimal foundations from which to draw our existence. But, we all do age and as we walk along this path, our experiences vary. For me, my daughter went to my husband distraught because my demeanor had changed from loving “Mom” to a cold and distant “Mom”. It’s often the people around us that recognize the change in us before we do. Fortunately, we have encouraged openness in our family and this event ignited the flame for me to seek alternatives for the inevitable process of aging.
My nursing career has taken me from labor/delivery at Valley Community and Brownsville Hospitals, newborn nursery to Lamaze instructor and Regional Director. As my family demands grew, my career took a shift to school nursing which was incredibly insightful. Brownsville bordered on Mexico and I was the emergency nurse for 35,000 students from elementary to high school. The range of health problems and family circumstances opened my eyes to the different cultures and life styles within that area. We moved away from the violence of Mexico and chose to be closer to help my terminally ill father. Unfortunately, or fortunately, this move didn’t allow me to continue within my previous experience and my path changed towards the aging and elderly population. Grass Valley is known as a retirement community and it is the beginning of my career in long-term care/skilled nursing of 20+ years, leaving for my NP education and coming back as Director of Nurses to this 175 bed-privately owned skilled facility. As Director of Nurses, it was my charge to assess and monitor the care for hundreds of patients. It is here that health and the current approaches towards “graceful” aging illuminated my eyes. Taking 20 meds per day and continuing to deteriorate, seeing gifted individuals fade away, isn’t the right solution. The elderly fascinate me, they have such insight and wisdom. Most younger generations turn their heads not to see, should the older people come their way. After my daughter’s shocking revelation about my change, I began my quest to alleviate and enhance the aging process for myself and others.
UCLA Medical Center’s NP Program was my choice to advance my education and focus on the mature woman. I was asked to note what I hoped to do with my NP, if accepted, and my response was to focus on “the forgotten woman”, because that is how many women feel as they step away from their child bearing and professionally productive years. My preceptor, Brian Retherford, MD, was an icon of a man with the most fantastic bedside manner. His patients looked forward to coming to our office for their care. He guided me into my professional life as an NP.
Men and women all experience changes sometime in their lives. Support should be provided to shore up areas of need as they arise. Fortunately for us, there are current studies that have enabled practitioners to provide this type of care through evidence based medicine. I have been providing this care for 10+ years and travelled the path myself for 20.
Fort Collins is a beautiful place and provides the opportunities to reach out to adults. I’ve recently left a rural clinic in the northern California foothills. My patients ranged from teenagers to 60-80 year old’s. This was one of the few clinics available to people that had no health coverage. I was the only nurse practitioner on site and my patient load was considerable ranging from 18-35 on any one day. Colorado is one of many states that gives nurse practitioners full practice abilities. My license includes DEA and prescriptive authority in addition to my NP. This allows me to fulfill the level of care I have sought to provide.
