YOU ARE CAPABLE AND WORTHY OF OPTIMAL HEALTH AND HEALING.
Hi, I’m Leah and I provide individuals with high-quality functional medicine--an approach to health care that determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease. Imagine a life where your body and mind worked with you to show up as the best version of yourself every day.
I create an individualized health plan that equips you with the tools needed to naturally balance your body, restore function, and alleviate pain and suffering. My goal is for you to become an expert at your own health care so you can achieve your fullest potential without loss of function. I do this by investing time in getting to know you. I listen and ask questions to understand your story and use this information to identify potential areas of imbalance. I order comprehensive testing to learn more about your body and take the time to explain in detail what these tests mean and how they relate to your health.
This is not a quick fix approach to medicine. It is a process where I teach you about your body and how it works to empower you to take the best care of yourself as possible. I am with you every step of the way and make this work enjoyable, motivating, and effective.
I have worked in health care for over 6 years both in the hospital and private practice. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Global Health and received my Master’s degree from New York University’s world-renowned Adult Primary and Holistic Care programs. My functional medicine training is through the Institute for Functional Medicine and I am a certified medical marijuana prescriber.
I have healed hundreds of clients with my treatment method who were told by other providers that their conditions were chronic or not real. Optimal health is achievable with the right support and self-efficacy. Working with me, you will have more energy, confidence, and self-awareness to manage your health in a way that makes you resilient and prepared to handle any challenge thrown your way.
