I found integrative medicine at a point when I was feeling burned out as a provider, watching my patients continue to feel sicker.

I was diligently following every evidence-based recommendation, doing everything I had been trained to do yet my patients weren’t truly getting better. We were managing symptoms, but not uncovering the underlying causes to these symptoms.

I knew I needed to start digging deeper.

My lifelong passion for health and wellness led me to continue my education in integrative and functional medicine. As I began to incorporate this approach into my practice during my time living in California and Oregon, I started to see real change in my patients.

But I also quickly realized that the conventional medical setting with 10-minute appointments wasn’t built for this kind of care.

After moving back to my hometown of Black Mountain with my husband and welcoming my baby, I felt an even stronger pull to serve my community in a more meaningful way and fulfill a deeper purpose of truly healing others.

I created Willow Integrative Medicine to offer a different kind of experience, one where you’re truly heard, where we take the time to look deeper, and where the goal is simple: to help you feel your best.

You can find me in my free time on the trails either running or hiking with my husband Jacob and our baby Ezra, strength training, wandering the farmer’s market, or cooking/baking healthy treats.
