"What I love most about what I do is teaching people how to feel their best by changing what they do every day!
Food and Exercise are the greatest forms of medicine for anyone! The smallest changes make a big difference over time!
While I have a variety of experiences, certifications, and education, I am interested in studying Naturopathic medicine and how to heal the whole body! " - Shana
