What We Treat

Children’s and Teen's Physical and Mental Health

Children thrive when their bodies are supported gently and thoughtfully. I work with families to
strengthen foundational health, support development, and address concerns early—using safe, effective naturopathic care tailored to each child’s unique needs.

ADHD
OCD

Immune Health, Allergies & Autoimmune Conditions

When the immune system is out of balance, symptoms can feel confusing and overwhelming. I help you understand what your body is signaling and create a personalized plan to calm inflammation, support immune function, and build resilience from the inside out.

"

At 39, after being diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS, I struggled with ongoing relapses and side effects while on Tecfidera. I felt frustrated and uncertain about my future. Working with Dr. Sanja and starting the Coimbra Protocol under close supervision made a meaningful difference for me. With careful monitoring and individualized care, my energy improved, my brain fog lessened, and I’ve remained stable without further relapses. I’m grateful for the thorough, supportive approach and feel hopeful about managing my MS long term.

"

Our 9-year-old son was struggling with severe OCD symptoms, including constant hand washing, prolonged showers, and intense fear of germs. It was affecting his school, daily routines, and overall happiness. Under Dr. Sanja’s care, he was treated with a personalized plan that included homeopathy and targeted nutraceutical support. Over time, we saw remarkable improvements. His anxiety decreased significantly, the compulsive behaviors reduced, and he is now able to participate in normal childhood activities again. We are incredibly grateful for the gentle, individualized approach that helped our son regain his confidence and quality of life.
