Integrated Medical Weight Loss mission: We use the three I's: Integrated (treating the whole person), Individual (because each person is unique) and Incremental (meaning we take it one visit at a time). "Everyday people tell me this approach has helped them lose more weight and keep more off than they ever did, and in a way that is kinder to themselves."

Through education in various mind-body medicine approaches from Harvard, UMass, Kripalu, Omega Institute, UCSF and more, she has been able to teach people to be in the scientifically validated Relaxation Response, a state of mind in which change flows much more easily.
