Her true passion for holistic healthcare began several years ago when her family was stationed overseas for a work assignment and her son contracted Dengue fever. This is a serious, life-threatening, tropical mosquito-borne illness which could cause severe complications or ultimately death. Not knowing much about tropical illnesses, she started researching on her own and sought advice from all the specialists she could find. She became disappointed that no cure or treatments were available, aside from hydration. She then turned to alternative care and started researching the medicinal properties of different plants. She found various herbs and plants that she could combine into pastes or juices and began using these on her son. This homemade herbal and natural “medicine” started working and his blood counts turned around and he was soon on the road to recovery! From this moment onwards, Dr. D knew that there was another way aside from just conventional care. While acknowledging the need for pharmaceuticals, she wants to be an advocate for her clients who have been told “there is nothing more we can do,” or give alternative options to managing health to gain the best pathway to wellness.

Dr. D has a strong medical background, both conventional and alternative, and passion to help her clients achieve optimal health and wellness using a functional and holistic approach to deal with dysfunction and imbalances in the body.
