Wellscape Direct MD
MY BACKGROUND
Although born and raised near Chicago, my family maintained a small farm, from which I learned to appreciate organic whole food; the cycles of nature; and the wonders of the outdoors. I earned a BA degree in Psychology from Earlham College (IN), a Quaker-based school that fostered my belief in treating others as equals, my commitment to social justice, and my desire to serve.
After spending some years in the workforce, traveling and pursuing passions in Chinese martial arts and medicine, I followed my childhood dream into medicine, graduating from UMass Medical School, and completing training at Lawrence Family Medicine Residency.
I continue to have strong interest in Complementary therapies, particularly Chinese Medicine and mind-body medicine.
