From the practitioner: About My Practice

At Alchemy Radiant Health we trust in the body’s innate intelligence to self-correct almost all health problems when given the appropriate treatments. We combine Functional Medicine diagnostic evaluations with Chinese Medicine to discover the imbalances that are causing your body’s underlying health condition. We treat with botanical whole-food supplements, nutritional programs, and lifestyle changes, to help restore your body’s ability to heal.
