Wellbridges Health Center

About WellBridges Health Center. Individuality is the key to unlock the door we must make to maintain and protect our health and to experience the joy in our life. However, billions of dollars are spent to reduce each person's individuality into a collective statistic, which says you are within normal limits, or you are not. Health care based on pharmacolgy and insurance coverage dictates the time spent to evaluate the person as a whole, and not just a disease or syndrome. This is the frustration heard so often from people seeking answers to their problems as individuals. This is the problem we all face in an increasingly complex and stressful world. The issue of individuality is the primary issue addressed in this practice. My practice spans over 30 years as a nurse practitioner in primary care medicine and psychiatry, and an additional 10 years as an ICU nurse in several major hospitals in Boston MA including Mass General and Brigham and Women. I have always been fascinated with the diversity and complexities within each of us. As such, I have geared my practice towards medicine based on physiology, the functional basics of what makes us "tick", rather than on a disease or syndrome. I have found that people's response, or understanding, to illness and health, is more important than the "facts". Their response will determine the degree of health they achieve. The toxicity of the world around us has become an invisible deterent to health secondary to lack of education and inability to recognize there are choices and what they are. My practice chooses to restore function rather than maintain pathology as the focus for clients.
