I am a Naturopathic Doctor and Eastern Medicine Practitioner with a focus on holistic treatments including physical medicines such as tuina, acupuncture, and cupping, as well as modern assessment techniques, exams, recommending or prescribing such as labs, medical referrals, targeted movement practices, and herbal, supplement, or pharmaceutical treatments as needed. I practice based on the individual needs of the patient in front of me, and what they are seeking assistance with. 

My approach:

Personal Empowerment in the healthcare process is my highest priority. Wellness is a lifelong conversation, multi-factorial based on an abundance of modern-day hurdles, and it will change many times in topic over the course of someone's life. My goal is to meet patients in their present moment, and to incorporate knowledge of many systems of medicine, providers, treatments and plans to help those who seek assistance on their path to feeling better in their lives. 

Client focus: 

Those seeking Holistic care are often served by Mind, Body, or Spiritually integrated care. I believe in people being able to be their truest selves, whatever that looks like to them. I am trained in multi-cultural spiritual and emotional therapies. I believe in people's rights to serve in this life as their optimal Highest Selves while also recognizing and accepting physical limitations as necessary. My goal is to offer a space without unnecessary judgment and limiting bias, but instead allowing exploration of what it means to be healthy and well in each person's individual lives and physical body. 

Melanie currently sees clients virtually and in person.
