My passion is to help you take charge of your health with personalized Functional Medicine. Like you, I've had my own health challenges. The most profound was in 1999 when I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of Rheumatoid Arthritis, which is an autoimmune disease. It was excruciating to turn a doorknob, walk down a flight of stairs, or even hold a fork.

Functional Medicine
Report
Ready to take a personalized journey toward restoring your health? Laura uses Functional Medicine to go far beyond short visits and symptom masking. She digs deeper to identify which of your underlying body systems are struggling. This approach is called "root-cause medicine." Then we create a holistic personalized treatment plan that focuses on modifiable lifestyle factors first.
Acupuncture
Report
Laura specializes in the painless Matsumoto acupuncture method, which uses direct feedback from abdominal (hara) palpation to regulate your neuroendocrine-immune axis. The fine delicate needles stimulate your own pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory signaling hormones and neurotransmitters. Our goal is to restore your vital force (qi or "chi") so your body and mind find harmony and alignment, and all your organ systems function optimally. Our clinics in downtown Monterey and Capitola feel more like a spa than a medical office because they are designed for comfort and deep relaxation.
