As a child growing up in Philadelphia, I found myself wondering about the miracles of self-regenerative healing. I was often unwell and socially out of touch. I had lots of time to imagine what it must be like to be well, to question how wellness happens, and wonder if it could happen for me. As I grew up, it did! I then wondered how I could help others along their path of self-creation through regenerative healing. Would others allow me to be present with them through their process?
I found rhythm and harmony early in life through music and dance. I studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Music in classical piano, training for concert performance. I have explored a lifelong relationship with musical expression through composition and improvisation. The joy of these experiences awakened a recognition of the natural patterns of rhythm and harmony expressed in the human organism.
I was lead to science to develop logical thinking. I completed my undergraduate degrees in biology, chemistry and psychology in 1981 from Chapman College. Following my interest in public health services, I received a master's degree from Loma Linda University. I had become ignited by a strong interest in the relationship between structure and function in the human organism. This lead me to medical school where in 1986, I graduated as an osteopathic physician and surgeon from the College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, in California. To complete my medical training, I took a residency in neuromusculoskeletal medicine and neurosurgery at St. Barnabas Hospital, in New York. I was also honored to do a seven year preceptorship with Dr. Anne Wales, of Rhode Island, who was a truly outstanding physician and osteopath. It was Dr. Wales who taught me the true value of treating the whole person, as an integrated organism.
To enhance my appreciation of an individual person as a complex integrative organism, I avidly read and studied physics and energy work. I recognize that there are relationships between human structure and function on all levels - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, circumstantial, traumatic, surgical, medical and genetic. When this wondrous and complex interface is truly recognized and included in the healing process the whole person is nurtured.
I have pursued the study of classical homeopathy for the last thirty years, as a means to catalyze reactions in the body. Influential in my homeopathic approach include my primary mentor Dr. Robert Schore with whom I studied closely for over twenty years. Other influences on my understanding include Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, Jost Kunzli, Alain Naude, George Vithoulkas and Dr. Bill Gray.
In my personal life I married, had two delightful, extraordinary children, one boy and one girl, each child adding insight to my understanding of the dimensions of humanity. I have discovered a self I didn't know existed when I was a child, one of freedom and joy of being, despite life's lessons.
I was fortunate to be with both my parents as their daughter-doctor-caretaker and saw the cycle of life complete itself. I developed a sincere and passionate interest in animals and now have cats, dogs, and horses to teach me about trust, respect, and compassion for all sentient beings.
It has become obvious to me that to feel well is not the same as being well. I have had wonderful teachers to guide and counsel me along the way. They have helped me develop my skills, encouraged me to get out of my own way and offer services to others without getting in their way. Engagement with a person in their process of true healing brings great joy to me.
Since 1994 I have had a private medical practice in Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, and the Cayman Islands. My practice has included people from infancy to geriatrics, rewarding me with some relationships lasting over twenty years. I have worked with cases including accidents, surgery, acute and chronic illness, pregnancy, birth, childhood growth and development, and basic wellness. My experiences with people cultivating, restoring and maintaining wellness, have deepened my insight into the uniqueness of the individual process. A natural order of all that I have been taught about life and growth has
emerged. The service I now offer is a culmination of my personal life experience and observation, medical training, artistic exploration and a love of humanity.
This practice I call BIOBALANCE engages the whole person in a supportive healing process to find their own harmony and revitalization. BIO BALANCE is rooted in the recognition that self-regenerative healing exists. It is our own innate wisdom that heals us. It is not only possible to tap into this intelligence, but is vital to finding true health at all stages of our lives.
