Meet The Team
Monita Triplett
Registered Acupuncturist,
Holistic Nutritionist
I’m passionate about medicine that is natural, evidence-based & effective. Sessions with me are unique because I combine the healing methods I have learned to bring each patient personalized and comprehensive care. My goal is to treat the root cause of your health issues.
For decades I struggled with a long list of chronic health complaints and illness; hormonal issues, acne, digestive issues, anxiety, addictions and depression to name a few. After years of following the advice of doctors and realizing that conventional medicine does not get to the root cause and is only offering me pills and countless antibiotics, I decided to chose a different path that would transform my life. It became clear to me that in order to fully heal I needed to learn how the human body works and how to take care and nourish my body. So I made the decision to enroll in Chinese medicine and holistic nutrition school and that started my healing journey….
Where I believe disease comes from:
-
Pathogens & Stealth infections (lyme, Epstein Barr, Borrelia, H Pylori, parasites etc)
-
Environmental Chemicals/ Pesticides
-
Heavy metals (Lead, mercury, aluminum, cadmium etc)
-
Mold and mycotoxin exposure
-
Emotional Trauma
-
Malnutrition
All epigenetic changes come from these places. Once you figure out the root cause you take a whole new healing perspective.
My goal as a practitioner is to enlighten and educate.
