The healing of the human body and mind is as much about art as it is about science.

Health is our most precious treasure in life. Unfortunately, we seem to value it at its fullest dimension only when it is somewhat diminished or significantly impaired by illness. When our health is compromised, restoring it becomes among our highest priorities. Since the early vestiges on the practice of Medicine (e.g., the Babylonian “Diagnostic Handbook” written 2,000 years BCE), it became transparent that healing of the human body and mind was as much about art as it was about science.

Areas of expertise include:

The artistry in medicine involves applying a set of skills that includes communication and partnership with clients, delivered with conversation, to understand their individual “story.” The current healthcare system does not allow for this unique approach, thus leaving patients feeling rushed and unheard.
