Post Graduate Education & Training Includes – Functional Medicine Study:
As an oriental medicine and functional medicine practitioner, one of my goals is to continually deepen my knowledge in both medicines, improve my skill set, and keep up to date with recent research which includes the food sensitivities and toxicity from pesticides and glyphosate, the air and water toxicity, EMF pollution, Mycotoxin exposure, and the deepest layer of modern chronic disease like Lyme Disease, EBV, and other vaccination triggered diseases. These are the most fundamental things that should be screened in the first place but are very often missed or misdiagnosed. That’s why I decided to keep training myself by setting aside time every week for studying.
(certification #1) I am the first practitioner from the state of MA to receive the certification from Hashimoto’s Institute Practitioner Training Program in 8/2016. My summer was totally devoted to studying this particular chronic illness many of my patients have. My name is listed on this Preferred Practitioner List among other functional medicine practitioners.
(certification #2) Kresser Institute Graduate. A-CFMP Certificate Received.
Comprehensive Functional Medicine 1 Year
Training (Practitioner Training Course at Kresser Institute) – I completed the program in 03/2018. Please Click Here for the listing of Functional Medicine Practitioners! This program was very challenging and timely demanding for over a year due to the end of the week exam for 52 weeks straight. I developed “a fear” of Friday (exam day)!
