Empowering Wellness Through Personalized Functional Medicine Solutions
I'm Dr. Stephanie, a chiropractor for over 15 years. I have dedicated myself to serving my patients and am proudly certified by the Functional Medicine Academy, specializing in pediatrics and hormone health. My passion lies in helping women, children, and families not just survive, but truly thrive in wellness. I believe in a personalized holistic approach to optimal wellness, tailoring supplements and treatments to meet each individual’s unique needs.
I have witnessed the emotional pain that arises when patients feel their concerns are not addressed, taken seriously, or are simply dismissed with, "That's normal," by another practitioner. I never want that to happen on my watch. My greatest commitment is to listen deeply and compassionately. I genuinely care about my patients' well-being and strive to ensure they feel heard, understood, and supported on their journey to optimal health.

Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the wellness plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
