 Are you an East Bay or Albany & El Cerrito person dealing with these concerns?

  • Your antidepressant, anti-anxiety or sleep medication are just not fully getting you where you’d like to be.
  • You’re struggling with depression, anxiety or insomnia and taking a pharmaceutical doesn’t feel like the right option for you.
  • You struggle with PMS, cyclical emotionality & perimenopause and want to feel more balanced and comfortable at certain times of your menstrual cycle.
  • You have a stressful, high intensity job (and life!) and want to do what it takes to function peacefully and effectively at work (and home!).
