"I am a Board-certified Medical Doctor trained in allopathic medicine, and I am also a Holistic Health & Wellness Coach. I have been searching for optimal health for as long as I can remember – it is what led me to pursue a career in Medicine.

I was taught to deal with the body's symptoms by treating them with medication, rather than looking at that symptom as a message from the body that something deeper needed to be healed. I experienced my own health issues while simultaneously treating patients who were also searching for answers. I tried every diet on the market – the Atkins diet, the grain-free diet, South Beach, P90X, the Keto diet and more. None worked for long.

The world of self-healing opened for me in 2013 with a simple and profound social media post by Liana Shanti, founder of Health Mastery Institute. It was the first time I did a juice fast, gave up all meat and dairy completely and implemented an all organic, plant-based diet. The changes I experienced were dramatic and truly life-changing.

Making the choice to study at Health Mastery Institute is what finally gave me what I was searching for: the science, the education, the practices and protocols to make the changes that actually heal and support the body for optimal health. A blueprint for preventive optimal health.

Through HMI, I have learned that the health of our body is not separate from the health of our minds and our spirits. Our emotional self, our spiritual self, our physical self. They are deeply connected. This is what holistic wellness is all about.

Today, I am a stronger, healthier, freer person in all ways because of the work I have done with Liana Shanti's programs. I am a better medical practitioner with so many practical, science-based protocols and personal experience to share. I no longer take any medications. I am passionate about the plant-based food I prepare as fuel and medicine for my body and soul. I am healing my body of Candida, my hypertension is controlled by lifestyle and diet, and I no longer suffer from depression, disruptive sleep patterns and more."
