Personal Health and Beauty

I have always loved fashion and physical fitness. When I am not at the clinic I am running the trails on foot or riding them on my horse. Muscle strains and joint pain are often apart of the package especially if you are like me and push yourself to go that extra mile. I have been running and riding horses since I was 4 and I have endured a multitude of falls, fractures and near death experiences to fill a lifetime. And with recovery, I attributed it to nutrition, health and fitness. I am a huge advocate of organic and wholesome choices as I truly believe food is medicine. I have seen scores of patients turn their lives around simply by changing their diet and the way they move.

Feeling good and looking good go hand in hand. We offer Botox injections at competitive prices especially for those wanting to look as young as they feel. Ask my team about our Botox specials.
