Philosophy
My personal philosophy and aim is to lead a life of balance. The old Greeks and Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, said it: Nothing in excess, take the middle path and everything in its right measure.
I believe that the purpose of any healer, any doctor, is to teach that simply put, "we heal ourselves" through the way that we live our everyday lives. Even though the tools from a doctor's tool box can be very significant during our healing journey, a holistic lifestyle really is the foundation, if we are to feel and stay well. In other words, we are each responsible for our own health; we have the cure within us!
Professional Path
As a 4-event National Team Gymnast, I was considering a career in Sports Physiology. However, my journey as a healthcare provider began as a Dentist, DDS in Denmark. The focus of my practice was general dentistry and surgical wisdom teeth removal.
After re-locating from Denmark to Greece with my family in 1990, I began studying and practicing Yoga, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, gradually letting go of dentistry as I was adding in more holistic healing modalities such as Reiki and CranioSacral Therapy.
For several years I treated clients, utilizing mainly diet & lifestyle, CranioSacral Therapy and Reiki. Plus I taught Yoga classes and workshops, as well as coordinated and/or conducted annual Holistic Healing Retreats, until I decided to study Naturopathic Medicine.
We left Europe in 2002 and moved to Arizona. I enrolled at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and graduated the summer of 2007.
I have been practicing Naturopathic Medicine since the spring of 2008. Approximately half of the time has been focused on private practice, providing primary Naturopathic care, Acupuncture and CranioSacral Therapy.
The summer of 2012 I was hired by Sedona Wellness Retreat in Arizona. For 2 years I was 1 of our 2 supervising physicians, caring for people with cancer, many of which were considered by mainstream medicine to be so-called terminally ill. Being a team of 17 people, we built a beautiful healing environment. Our wellness retreat guests came from all over the United States and other parts of the world as well; they would stay for 2-3 or even 5-6 weeks at a time, going through an intense and very comprehensive natural and integrative treatment protocol of detox and nutrition. Beside juicing, coffee enemas and castor oil packs, we were incorporating IV infusions, Acupuncture, supplements and so much more. We were offering Mind-Body Medicine as well, such as Meditation, Yoga and Qi Gong classes, and the benefit of these practices were often quite astonishing.
August of 2014, I was invited to teach at the Naturopathic College in Puerto Rico. I spent 2 years in Puerto Rico, where I was an Adjunct Professor at the Naturopathic Medicine Doctoral Program at La Universidad del Turabo in Caguas/Gurabo. The courses I taught were HEENT/Head and Neck, Ears, Eyes, Nose and Throat; Rheumatology; Oncology as well as CPR I and II (~ Clinical and Physical Rotation I and II including conduction of the Clinical Entry Exam). Once I had obtained my Puerto Rican license to practice, I was also a supervising physician at the program's clinic, instructing and assisting the medical students in their Naturopathic and Acupuncture care of our patients.
December 2018 I joined An Oasis of Healing in Mesa, Arizona. We care for people with all types and stages of cancer, utilizing an advanced integrative medicine treatment protocol. It’s beyond belief what can happen, once you apply all the necessary healing tools to someone’s journey with cancer.
As a Naturopathic Physician, and a Yoga Teacher, I have seen great benefits from the marriage between Nature, Science and Soul. There really is no separation between the three; they work hand in hand.
I love what I do, and would love to assist you on your path!
