Clean Up Our Act

The holidays are past and the New Year has started.  It is time to clean up our act once again.  Most of us indulged in fattening foods, inflammatory foods, and just plain poisonous foods sometime over the last two months.  The short days have slowed down our metabolism and the toxins have built up in […]

Belonging First

The year 2017 has arrived.  It looks like the winds of change are upon us.  New times and new challenges await us in this coming year.  To set the tone for the New Year I wanted to consider the deepest priority and motivator that I believe drives us in what we do.  I have been […]

It is the time of year for new light, new hope, and new beginnings.  Even though winter has just started, solstice has taken place and the dark begins to retreat a little more each day.  Traditionally the next seven days are a time of feasting, fasting, and prayer in preparation for the welcoming in of […]

What am I doing?

I see several new patients every week.  I thank all of you for those referrals as my practice is entirely created by your referrals.  I have always had a referral-based practice.
