Information for Patients

From the practitioner: About My Practice

The Five Stones Wellness medical practice, the IFMC, was founded on my personal belief that true health comes from being in balance; in body, mind and spirit. As such, our approach is built on the Five Stones of Wellness. These include healthful eating, balanced movement, integrative healthcare, mindful stress management and interconnected living.
A Certified Functional Medicine physician, and Board certified in Family as well as Integrative and Holistic Medicine, I look for the underlying root causes of a patient's symptoms and condition, including genetic, lifestyle, environmental, mental and spiritual factors that have brought them to where they are, and offer an integrative individualized approach to their healing.

From the practitioner: What Patients Can Expect

Patients who come to IFMC will have a full Functional Medicine assessment of their symptoms and conditions, and then a personalized treatment plan will be created. They will be supported by a team of professionals in addition to their physician, and may be offered a variety of therapies, including nutrition counseling and coaching, personal training, acupuncture, botanical and conventional medicines, nutritional supplements, energy medicine, acupuncture, massage, hypnosis and acupuncture. The expectation is that each patient will be treated as an individual and supported along their healing journey.
