 A Personal Note from Dr. Vicki:

“When I started my medical practice 20 years ago, it quickly became apparent to me that many physical problems are triggered by emotional issues (my BA in Psychology probably contributed to this). It also became apparent to me that many emotional issues centered around relationship problems.

As part of my naturopathic degree, I studied Chinese Medicine, including the Five Elements model, which is all about relationships. I saw people and their relationships represented in this model and realized I could use the dynamics of the model to help my patients better understand themselves, the people in their lives, and how they related.

It worked; their relationships improved, they got healthier, and some even beat cancer. Helping people understand each other and get along better using the Five Elements model became my passion and is now the full-time focus of my career, teaching, coaching, and life. I am excited to share this passion with you!”
