My Journey

All About Me

I’ve been a dedicated practitioner of holistic medicine since 1997. I love empowering patients to understand their bodies and discover the gentle power of the healing arts.

As a well-renowned Integrative Healer with a medical background, I enjoy being able to bridge the gap between holistic and modern medicine while providing a safe and nurturing atmosphere in which to heal.

I am always looking to integrate new treatments and therapies into my practice and believe that continued learning is important for any good Integrative Healer.

My Mission

As an Integrative Doctor, Medicine Woman, and Energy Worker, my mission is to restore health, inspire vitality, and improve the lives of my patients through a harmonious blend of alternative therapies and modern wellness principles. For over 30 years as a General Practitioner, I have been dedicated to treating the whole person—Body, Mind, and Spirit. By combining tailored personalized supplement regimens and stress-reduction techniques via breathwork and Reiki with natural remedies like flower essences and essential oils, I create customized pathways to healing. My ultimate goal is not just to heal, but to guide and educate my patients to become active stewards of their own long-term health.

My Story

One day on a trip to Cairo & Greece I had my first spiritual encounter.

The Chills ran up my spine visiting the underground chamber, at the Step pyramid of King Zoser, where my destiny changed, from hopelessness to something greater.

I graduated from the NY College of Osteopathic Medicine. Feeling there was far more to learn, I set out on my own spiritual journey. I received a spiritual initiation into Yoga and Mantra + Chanting practices discovering the Connection with Spirit!

While practicing a technique taught by Paramahansa Yogananda, my 8th Chakra burst open. This lead me to Spiritual classes given by Vasiliki. I received Reiki Attunements, Qi Gong, and attended many purification ceremonies. Upon leaving a Sweat Lodge, I poured out my heart to the Creator of All. From that point on, my spiritual evolution was Fast-tracked what felt like a hundredfold.

On a trip to the Peruvian Machu Picchu and Huyana Picchu, in 2012, connecting there to the sacred land and its people, I became more connected to the indigenous ways.

Sacred fires, walking the Medicine Wheel, and weekly meetings with the spiritual community of sacred sisters, I advance into knowing my own true nature.

As a doctor and medicine woman, I have a deep commitment to assisting others in the release of their own emotional traumas, and stuckness thus discovering their own Uniqueness, Truth and Inner Radiance.

Quote: “A healer is someone who seeks to be the light that she wishes she had, in her darkest moments.” Veronica Tugaleva.

It is to this theme that I dedicate my life, with much joy!
