Over the years Dr. Rena has developed a focus on mental and emotional health.  She has learned that mood, mental state, and emotions ALL affect the physical body (ex: hormones, immunity, fertility).  For this reason, Dr. Rena incorporates mental & emotional healing alongside Naturopathic medicine. Her holistic approach uses evidence-based treatment, with mind-body approaches. 

 

Dr Rena helps balance hormones, specifically ones that affect mood, as well as the gut and nervous system, and brain.  She also focuses on emotional release from the body using Acupuncture.  Dr. Rena supports body chemistry by using herbs, Chinese medicine, supplements, food modification, and hormonal prescriptions & testing if required.  Lastly, she teaches breathing, hypnotherapy, and meditation to rewire beliefs. 

​

Areas of Focus: 

• Nervous system dis-regulation

• Emotional and mental support (depression, anxiety, mood, stress, burnout, apathy, anger, personal growth, habits)

• Physical ailments (autoimmune, gut health, mood, low energy, cortisol imbalance, nutrition, healthy habits, pain, brain fog, hormonal imbalance)

• Neurotransmitter testing (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine)

• Hormonal testing (cortisol, DHEA, testosterone, estrogen progesterone and all metabolites, organic acids)

• Prescription medication and blood testing

 

When you address all aspects of a person, healing becomes quick and easy.  You create new beliefs, your nervous system rewires, you let go of old emotions.  Supplements, herbs, diet, and acupuncture all work better and the body returns back to its original blueprint of health and wellbeing in weeks. You become the BEST version of yourself.
