She obtained a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Prior to attending medical school, she received a Masters’ of Occupational Therapy from the University of North Dakota and worked for 10+ years in geriatric rehabilitation and home health.

Her mission has been to optimize independence and quality of life, reduce suffering,  and celebrate the wisdom and beauty aging has to offer. This passion led her to establish the Essence of Aging Clinic.
