(Polopino = Polish + Filipino)
I am a different kind of doctor. One of many, who sees that our current medical system is not only broken but needs to be changed.
I believe that both spirit and science are important perspectives in the healing process. By unifying the two, we can have a comprehensive medical system that effectively helps people heal from the inside-out and outside-in.
Since 2010, I have dedicated my life to studying the human body, mind, and spirit. In my Bachelor of Science degree, I studied integrative medicine with an emphasis in sports medicine. From the trauma research done in my undergrad, I was inspired to pursue medical massage therapy. Along the way, I discovered reiki, shamanism and food therapy. All of which lead me to complete a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (a.k.a. Oriental Medicine).
After school, I went on to explore embodied healing through presence and breath. Collectively, I mix my healing arts to create custom treatments for whatever is presenting in treatment room.
Over the years, I have discovered that each person and their conditions are unique. It is truly an honor to walk with my patients along their life journey. It never ceases to amaze me, how they can turn their ailments into something inspiring. Being ill can be hard, challenging and messy, but the story doesn’t have to end there.
Within all my studies, I have been searching for answers on how to bring vitality back to the people (and the land). I want more than just surviving and meeting the bare minimum. I aspire to empower patients to find their best life and enjoy the sense of thriving! I may not have all the answers, but I am always willing to help my patients find the solutions that they seek.
