About Me

I am a fourth generation physician trained in modern medicine at top institutions who came to realize—through my patients and my own body—that our current healthcare system often fails to address the why beneath illness. I chose family medicine training, not because I wasn't qualified for subspecialties, but because I have always deeply believed the way to a happy, whole existence is through understanding our bodies in relation to the people, activities and places we experience. 

While contemporary medicine excels in acute care and technological intervention, it frequently leaves little room for context:
how someone lives, what they carry emotionally, how their nervous system has adapted, and what their body is trying to communicate through symptoms.

Embodied MD grew out of years of clinical work, deep study across disciplines, and lived experience navigating health, injury, recovery, and resilience.

My work focuses on:

• Translating complex medical concepts into accessible language
   
• Helping people understand their symptoms as signals, not failures
   
• Integrating physical, psychological, and social dimensions of health
   
• Reducing shame while increasing agency and self-trust
