Welcome, fellow seeker of genuine well-being! I'm Dr. Anita, a passionate advocate for preventative, integrative, and functional medicine. With 30 years of nursing experience, I hold a Doctorate in Nursing and I am dual board certified as a nurse practitioner and a functional medicine provider.


My life's mission is to improve access to integrative and functional medicine until it is the standard of care!


My journey into functional medicine began over 20 years ago when my six-year-old son suffered from severe asthma and allergies. Despite our best efforts to manage his symptoms with medications, his condition only worsened. It was then that I discovered the power of treating the root cause of illness. By addressing his Leaky Gut Syndrome, we were able to heal his body, freeing him from inhalers, steroids, and allergy medications. Today, he is a healthy young man starting his own family. At that time, I said to myself "now that's true healing--whatever that is, that's what I want to do!"
