The Health Journey
Dr. Chanel’s journey towards medicine began early in life where her health concerns led her down a path of trial and discovery of conventional and alternative approaches to medicine. She eventually found that true and deep healing was possible with a holistic and root cause approach to health. It was this experience paired with humanitarian/environmental-based motivation and a deeply curious mind that inspired her to leave her career in the fashion industry to pursue science and medicine with the ultimate goal of aiding the wellbeing of her community.
Connection & Uncovering the Root Cause
Dr. Chanel is here to help connect the dots with your health concerns and uncover the root cause of disease. She works to identify and remove the barriers that stand in the way of optimal health so you can feel your best. She has obtained many tools and lenses with which to apply to your health disturbances, and will work with you to find what will best facilitate your journey to optimal health. Treatment approaches are individually tailored and may include - diet and lifestyle modifications, acupuncture, botanical medicine (Western and Chinese approaches), orthomolecular medicine, IV and intramuscular nutrient injections, regenerative or pain management injections – prolotherapy and neural therapy, lab testing and pharmaceutical prescriptions.
Education & Empowerment
Dr. Chanel hopes that the journey to health creates an opportunity to inspire and empower her patients. Educating her patients about their bodies and uncovering the “Why” is a fundamental part of her practice. The word doctor comes from the Latin root word docēre, meaning “to teach”. She hopes to deliver her knowledge to educate and empower her patients to be involved on a deeper level of their health and to have a greater understanding of their bodies. She understands that health issues can be overwhelming and distressing on a number of levels, but she knows that the challenge has the potential to act as a catalyst for positive change and growth, as this was her experience with her health journey.
