Biography

I graduated from Harvard Medical School and specialize in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a particular focus on optimizing human performance through regenerative medicine, nutrition, mind-body exercises, mind-training, and biofield therapies. I completed my MD/PhD at Harvard, studying neuronal stem cells and the effects of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in brain development and in adults. I published numerous scientific and medical articles and my work on the CSF was chosen as the cover image for the prestigious Neuron journal. I have been featured in the New England Journal of Medicine in regards to teaching medical students about living with life threatening diseases and in Psychology Today on an article titled “Joy: The art of loving life." I combine my training in rehabilitation medicine, evidence-based research, nutrition, and various complementary and alternative medicine modalities such as polarity therapy, reiki and biodynamic craniosacral therapy to work holistically with individuals to optimize their potential and improve their quality of life. I do phone/skype consultations if desired, or you can come by my clinic in Pasadena, CA.
