ABOUT ME
Hello! I'm Dr. Debra.
As someone who has always been athletic and interested in nutrition, I studied the work of Jack LaLanne, Covert Bailey, Nathan Pritikin, Charles and Patricia Bragg, beginning in high school. As an undergraduate student at UCSB I took my first official nutrition course and worked on campus at the Wellness and Fitness Institute. I became interested in herbal medicine and homeopathy during my undergraduate years and studies in France, all of which led me to discover naturopathic medicine and National College of Naturopathic Medicine (now National University of Natural Medicine) in Portland, OR, where I received my Naturopathic Doctorate degree.
I’ve spent over 35 years immersed in nutrition and herbal medicine, with more than 30 years dedicated to integrative and functional medicine. My focus is on supporting individuals committed to healthy aging, longevity, and optimizing vitality through bioidentical hormone therapies, peptide support, executive lifestyle coaching, and advanced wellness strategies. I love working with those who are deeply invested in their well-being and ready to elevate their health and life to the next level of thriving.
Allow me to be your guide in cultivating the tools to create healthy, more mindful responses to life’s challenges. My goal is that you will learn to recognize what may be preventing you from living your most radiant life, and how to identify the habits, mindsets and other areas where you may be compromising your well-being. I provide holistic, science-based, practical, and tangible solutions to support you in living in alignment with your highest values and intentions.
Outside of work I enjoy hiking, tennis, cooking, pickleball and I recently completed my 200-hr certification as a yoga instructor.
