Chanchal Cabrera

I practice an holistic approach which assumes that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts and that the patient has an innate ability to heal, which it is my job to activate and support. In a consultation we will address issues of diet and nutrition, exercise, rest, play and laughter, prayer and spirituality. I encourage the client to create a healing team around themselves and I expect my clients to actively engage in the healing process and to fully participate with me in seeking optimal health and well being.

I do not practice ‘alternative’ medicine where patients have to choose one thing or another. I do not practice ‘complementary’ medicine where allopathic treatment leads and others take a lesser role. I practice collaborative medicine where a community of wellness professionals supports and sustains the patient in navigating all the complexity of illness and healing.

Although I will not diagnose you or prescribe drugs I can offer a thorough and in-depth discussion of your current health-related questions and concerns, including reviewing your health history and laboratory results, and help you to make sense of how you might bring a Collaborative Functional Wellness approach to your health and wellness goals.

Collaboration also requires that the patient become part of the healing team. It is your responsibility to read all the materials I provide you, to ask for clarification or explanation where needed, and to implement as much as you can of all the things in the protocol.
