This lead her on a quest to understand additional causes of illness and search for holistic treatments. She received a certification from “Integrative Medicine for Mental Health” and has continued to expand her knowledge with them. She has collaborated with colleagues in the community and across the country that are experienced in this type of medicine. She is working toward certification in functional medicine approaches to treatment through the ‘Integrative Medicine Academy’.

As her understanding of the holistic/alternative literature and research grows, her potential to help people effect positive change in their lives has grown as well.
