Partnering Together In Community Both Locally & Globally
For over 4 decades I have been developing and practicing an integrative science-based personalized approach to health that treats the whole person, not just the disease process. My passion is to evaluate the variables affecting health like genetics, environmental exposures and lifestyle patterns. My academic degree credentials and career experiences were and are in the fields of Social Work/Psychology, Nursing, Functional Medicine and eventually an integrative study of body, mind, soul and spirit at Asbury Theological Seminary.
The culmination and end result of my life's work is an unstoppable passion to study, teach and promote the miracle of what "true" healing & wellness looks like and has the potential to be achieved all the days of one's lifespan!
A "functional" approach to Healthcare & or (Theology) doesn't replace conventional physicians or the allopathic model but complements it by empowering the patients, the family and ultimately community to achieve success, and isn't that the ultimate goal the medical space should be after?
Success is wellness in every area of one's life and that can only come into existence by having the freedom to evaluate life decisions utilizing a deep global perspective of the many great minds and thinkers across many academic fields of study that establish the thinktanks we integrate to share research and ideas for the common good of mankind, our future generations and our planet!"

We Must Reduce Medical Errors
Health-care requires an integrative focused approach with the patient seated at the center. Seriously ill persons all too often report they feel ignored, silenced or misunderstood in our modern medical institutions. Click here for study
The most important part of any prevention strategy is to reduce medical error and cost. Click here, here, here & here to learn more.
A 2020 study showed that high medical mistakes with serious consequences are most likely to occur in the ICU, Operating Room, and especially Emergency Departments (ED). Of those reporting that they experienced medical error - 73% indicated that were actually injured by the error. Mistakes in drug orders can be reduced by more than 80 percent when pharmacy professionals – in collaboration with doctors and nurses – take the medical histories of high-risk patients admitted through the emergency department, according to a recent Cedars-Sinai study.
