Seventeen years as a physical therapist specializing in outpatient orthopedic therapy in New York City taught me a lot about people. With time I realized my training as a doctor of physical therapy did not introduce me to the complexity of life’s interdependent systems. If I wanted to help my clients get to the root of their unique health issues that often manifested in physical pain I needed a more expansive skillset.

An early interest in “alternative” healing brought me to study classical Chinese medicine, and with my mentor I developed an effective clinical approach melding eastern and western ideologies and techniques. Treating clients in this way opened my eyes to the power of integrative medicine.

As a physical therapist in my own clinic, I had the advantage of spending hours with each client, which is rare in today’s detached healthcare system. I got to know the people I was treating—their histories, relationships, dreams, fears, and lifestyles. My clients were ultimately my greatest teachers. Their questions motivated me to seek a way to better support their comprehensive healing, and I found this in Balance Protocol.

You are a miracle…an amazing, one-of-a-kind ecosystem of 50+ trillion cells! All cells must live in harmony with one another, and with their surrounding environment, for balance to be maintained. The myriad of systems that underpin life are complex, ever-changing, and unique to every individual.

Modern life moves fast. With infinite information now at your fingertips, knowing whom to trust for guidance on your health is overwhelming. Despite all of the advances of science and medicine, and a phone in your pocket with instant access to endless advice, why is chronic disease more prevalent than ever?

Fortunately, a framework that simplifies creating and maintaining health and wellness exists. Balance Protocol is a systematic approach that addresses all aspects of diet, environment, lifestyle, and mindset that impact your health. Recognizing that you are a category of one, collecting data (not guessing) through cutting-edge functional medicine labs and lifestyle questionnaires, taking time to get to know YOU, and not chasing symptoms or “diseases”, this platform provides me and the team of clinicians with whom I work the ability to confidently help you take action to create balance within all systems. This balance builds health, optimizes performance, heads off future illness, and ultimately becomes a catalyst for you to discover who you are and what makes you happy.
