“Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth. This shows clearly the principle of softness overcoming hardness.”
—Lao Tzu, the Tao te Ching
Gentle Medicine
My clients are often more sensitive than the typical population. For folks like us, a gentle, steady, and foundational approach is required, in order to not overwhelm the body, while continuing to move forward with healing.
As a sensitive person myself, I know what it’s like to be afraid of practitioners and treatments that might make me more sick. I am skilled at providing a slow drip, if that’s what’s needed at first, knowing that the methods that I use improve your overall resilience and reduce sensitivities in the long run.
I know how to read the language of symptoms that your body expresses itself with. And I have a LOT of patience. I support people in moving at whatever pace their bodies can handle. Sometimes this can be very slow and incremental. But the time spent in rebuilding the foundation this way is unequivocally worthwhile.
Ultimately, this work is a path that emphasizes slowness, sustainability, incremental adjustments, deep listening, foundation rebuilding, and small shifts that lead to big results.
Most of us are looking for the Big Bang, hit-you-over-the-head healing. But if your health issues are deeply rooted — and especially so if you’re a sensitive human — slow and sustainable healing and rebuilding has its own quiet power.
We move at the pace of your body and what it can handle.
If you've ever had a "healing crisis," a Herxheimer reaction, or the like, you'll know that these can actually do more harm than good. For someone whose health already compromised, these kinds of reactions cause more stress to an overburdened system. My work is to help you lighten your load and to minimize these kinds of reactions, and to know how to handle them when they do happen. I believe that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and strive to avoid these reactions from occurring in the first place. This is nuanced work that requires close communication, as well as patience and restraint.
For us sensitive souls, gentle and slow is the way to go!
If you’re someone who reacts to everything—or feels like nothing seems to work anymore—you’re not alone. Many of the people I work with are highly sensitive and navigating complex, longstanding health issues. By the time they find me, they’ve often seen numerous practitioners, tried countless protocols, and are left feeling frustrated, reactive, and even more disconnected from their bodies than when they began.
I want you to know: your sensitivity is not a flaw. It’s a form of intelligence—your body’s way of saying, “Please go slower. Please listen more deeply.”
This is exactly where we begin.
Working with the Blocked and Overwhelmed System
In chronic illness—especially in what homotoxicology calls the “degeneration” phase—the body often becomes frozen in its attempts to compensate. The nervous system is stuck in overdrive. Detox pathways are clogged. Connective tissues are brittle or inflamed. Symptoms may cycle or flare in response to even the gentlest interventions. The matrix—your extracellular terrain—is no longer fluid; it's holding onto what it can’t release.
That’s why we don’t force anything.
Instead, I work slowly and respectfully to help the body reopen the doors—to drain gently, to support repair, to restore regulation. We aim not for intensity, but for consistency and coherence.
For People Who Can't "Push Through" Anymore
Some bodies can't handle more pushing. They don’t need another protocol. They need restoration. Regulation. Reconnection. Many of my clients are navigating:
Low HRV, nervous system dysregulation, or trauma overlays
Vascular or valvular fragility, connective tissue degradation
Extreme reactivity to supplements, detoxes, or even homeopathic remedies
Dissociation, freeze states, or “shut-down” physiology
Symptoms that worsen when resting or lying down—especially at night
These signs don’t mean your body is broken. They mean the terrain is asking for a different approach.
The Foundations of My Approach for Sensitive Clients
1. Respect the Block
We begin by acknowledging where your system is stuck. This includes subtle signs—nighttime spikes, twitching, pulsing, breathless flares—that reflect a deeper, often luetic, terrain. We don’t bypass these; we learn from them.
2. Open What Is Closed
Rather than focus on “detoxing” or “clearing,” we first focus on drainage—reawakening the emunctories so that waste and stagnation can be moved gently. I often begin with tiny doses (sometimes a single drop) of gemmotherapy, cell salts, or drainage remedies to gently signal repair.
3. Remineralize the Ground
True healing requires structure—especially in degenerative illness. We focus on deep remineralization to restore vascular, connective tissue, and nervous system integrity. This lays the groundwork for later repair.
4. Support Regulation
Without a regulated nervous system, nothing can heal. We work to support vagal tone, improve HRV, and help your system feel safe again. This may include homeopathy, somatic support, gentle movement, or subtle shifts in rhythm and rest.
5. Follow the Feedback
Everything is responsive. If your system speaks—even in the form of flares or shutdown—we listen. We work in dialogue with your body, not against it. You are a full partner in this process.
Why This Approach Works
Because it doesn’t override. It doesn’t force. It meets your body where it is and asks, what’s possible right now?
Healing happens when we create the conditions for change. That might look like:
Feeling a little more grounded in your body
Improved sleep or more restorative rest
Calmer evenings or fewer nighttime spikes
Gentle softening of old, rigid symptoms
Emotional shifts, clearer breath, or moments of calm
These are signs that the terrain is changing—even before the deepest symptoms resolve.
You Don't Have to Force Healing
This work is for people who can feel the truth in their bodies and are ready for something deeper. Not another extreme protocol—but a relationship with your healing that honors you, your history, and your unique rhythm.
If you’re ready to be seen, heard, and supported in a way that works with your sensitivity instead of against it—I’m here.
