Before I was a nationally known speaker, author, and wellness coach, I was just a young girl trying to cope with the trauma of my youth. My writing career began when I was 11 years old. Initially it was therapeutic writing...poetry filled with passion and emotion to escape the chaos that was my home life.  As I matured, blossomed, and bloomed my writing became more reflective and spiritual.  It wasn't until age 26th that I shared my first works.  I began on stage performing poetry, and soon found myself inspiring many through the combination of spoken word and hosting events.   Meanwhile, my "Professional Self" was also maturing and blossoming. A board certified family physician, I knew that my path would be different.  Having opened my own practice and integrating acupuncture, wellness coaching, and energy healing into my practices, it was inevitable that my writing would become a healing tool for others.   After many years of my patients, colleagues, and friends telling me that I should "write a book", I finally let go of the fear of the "how" and allowed the path to be laid before me for creation. Out of this came three books in a span of 4 months: Life On Your Terms: 7 steps to a more Empowered You, Eat Your Disease Away, and Be Well on Your Way.  These books are written to both educate and empower others to take control of their habits, thinking and over all quality of life by understanding how make choices for their highest good.
