• Sees each person as a whole and unique human being rather than as a disease.
  
• Recognizes that each person has a natural capacity for well being, and that this capacity can be called upon and nurtured when facing the daily stresses of modern life and when confronting the more extreme challenges of illness and crisis.
  
• Nourishes health on all levels – physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual.
  
• Acknowledges that health is created within the context of a person’s life, and that relationships, community, work, financial circumstances, a sense of connection or isolation, and joy or lack of fulfillment, either enhance health or contribute to illness.
  
• Is a process of partnership in which the patient is the expert on her/his body, and the provider serves the patient with compassion and excellence.
  
• Is truly integrative, combining the best of conventional modern medicine and “alternative” medicine.

Dr. Amy has been a huge help in providing me with safe, natural, no-side-effects solutions to both menopause and cholesterol problems.   I love her combination of being trained in "normal" medicine and "alternative" medicine. I feel completely respected and supported in searching for ways to live a long, healthy, high-quality life.
