Lori has always been interested in holistic health and Asian philosophies. After growing up with year-round allergies and falling asleep from the medication in 8th grade Science class, she decided to look for natural ways to address her symptoms and heal her body. This was a big step on her choosing her career path that was furthered when she became vegetarian at 19 and needed to make sure she was getting proper nourishment (mostly vegan now, for the animals!) She brings her first-hand knowledge of nutrition and allergies to help all of her patients find their way to natural healing!
