I use a holistic approach to help patients elevate their physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

How I stay healthy and happy
I'm a big proponent of approaching wellness in a natural way, and I enjoy practicing an "80/20" lifestyle: 80% of the time I prioritize eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly, and meditating. I believe in incorporating different types of fitness to promote longevity and decrease risk of injury. What makes me the happiest is spending time with my beautiful family and exploring what Austin has to offer.
