The Road to Holistic Wellness
Caroline’s journey into natural therapy healing resulted from her own battle with chronic illness. Traditional healthcare systems used a “one size fits all” approach, prescribing medicine that did little to treat her condition and came with negative side effects. And diagnostic testing could not pinpoint the actual source of her health issues. Frustrated, she turned to holistic medicine to seek relief and regain a healthy balance. Through a combination of acupuncture, herbs, nutritional therapy, exercise and stress management, Caroline was able to conquer the symptoms that once made daily life a challenge.

Discovering the Benefits of Natural Therapy
This wellness experience had such a profound impact on her that Caroline decided to study holistic medicine. She now treats others while educating them on the benefits of natural therapy. In order to truly define the root cause of a health imbalance, Caroline does a comprehensive evaluation of each individual to develop a treatment plan. Before moving forward with any treatment options, she carefully examines each patient’s genetic make up, constitution and lifestyle. She then uses a combination of Allopathic Medicine and Oriental Medicine to help those suffering from chronic conditions restore their health and vitality.

Prior to studying Oriental Medicine, Caroline held various executive positions in the healthcare industry and co-founded a national organization that offers affordable health benefit alternatives to individuals, families and small businesses. She also launched a national Patient Advocacy initiative to assist consumers with navigating insurance and the healthcare industry.
