Welcome!

Chic Wellness is committed to providing modern women of all ages with information for enhancing health, enriching lifestyles, and integrating bodies and environment in today’s fast-paced world. I am a naturopathic physician and co-director of the women’s clinic at the Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine in Santa Monica, California. Patients, friends, friends-of-friends, and family ask my opinion daily about different natural therapies, root causes of woman’s health problems, and the latest trends in dieting, detoxing and cosmetics. As a doctor trained in natural therapies, I have the medical background to cut through the hype and realistically evaluate trendy treatments and programs. But I am also a wife, daughter, and sister so I understand the challenges faced by women who want it all – family, career, and optimal well-being. It is my vision to be a trusted source of information that empowers women with the necessary knowledge to realize these important goals.

Our conventional healthcare system is disease-based and too often in the pocket of Big Pharm. Conventional practitioners have little time or incentive to promote preventive health and wellness. Women cannot wait for policy to catch up to their, and their families, healthcare needs. They need to take charge now of their health needs in order to make a difference in their lives. Chic Wellness is my way of reaching out to more women in more places. I feel strongly that women need to take control of their bodies and their wellbeing. Chic Wellness is part of a larger movement devoted to improving the health of the nation one woman at a time.
