My Business Values...

In this practice, I am deeply committed to green business practices and giving back to our community. As a green business, there are many ways in which I am continually working on improving.

I also strive to ensure that the botanical and nutritional supplements I prescribe use only the safest ingredients, and that every batch of supplements are tested for heavy metals or contaminants.

When looking at my relationships with other businesses, I strive to work with the most socially and environmentally responsible available. Some of the other green business practices I believe in are reducing, reusing, and recycling. I also run a paperless practice, and strive to keep my waste to a minimum.

In this business, I firmly believe health care, and reproductive services in particular, should be an essential covered right for every person.

I donate 3% of the company's yearly net profits to organizations which support these values.

I’m also passionate about giving back to our community. I previously volunteered for many years in Oakland, CA at an integrative medical clinic which served low-income women with cancer. There, I helped provide free health care, supplements, and herbs to underserved women.

Currently I volunteer my time at Rahab's Sisters, an organization offering nutritious food, coffee, conversation and personal hygiene necessities to women in Portland who have been marginalized by the sex industry, domestic violence, poverty, substance abuse, and homelessness.

In addition, I have volunteered for Portland-based Butterfly Boxes, an organization which puts together bags for incoming refugees to Oregon, many with just the shirts on their backs. These bags are filled with basic necessities like toiletries and towels, comfort items like stuffed animals and dolls, and organizational tools like calendars and folders to help settle into life in Oregon.
