Longevity begins where nature and science meet.

I graduated from Drew University and spent a decade in Emergency Medicine across the United States. In 2020, I moved to rural Alaska to serve some of the most isolated communities in the country—the most challenging chapter of my medical career. There, I witnessed a level of loneliness, depression, and helplessness that most people never encounter. And in that environment, I felt my own spirit slipping into darkness.

Faced with that darkness—in my patients and in myself—I realized I had a choice. I could stay in the heaviness, or I could choose the light. I chose the light. That decision changed everything.

I turned inward. I immersed myself in yoga and shamanic energy medicine with the Four Winds Society. I learned to heal the parts of myself that years of stress and survival-mode medicine had buried. Slowly, I remembered what it felt like to be whole.

Today, at Gaia Functional Wellness, I bring together everything I've lived and learned: the clinical precision of emergency medicine, the wisdom of yoga, the transformational power of shamanic healing, and the root-cause approach of functional medicine. I serve as a guide—someone who listens deeply and supports you in awakening your body's innate ability to heal.
