"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in care of the human frame in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of dis-ease."—Edison

I work with every patient on an individual basis to restore health. I strive to create balance in all areas of life including health, physical activity, home environment, education, career, patience, peace, creativity, joy, and spirituality.

I live in Stevensville, Maryland on Kent Island with my son, Aiden and husband, Christopher Mowry. Aiden was born on February 12, 2008 and he has been nothing short of amazing everyday. He has given me a deeper perspective on life and love in profound ways. I am so grateful for my family. I had a very healthy pregnancy and am passionate about working with expectant moms and new moms to help them have healthy experiences. Through exercise, nutrition and holistic health I work with moms-to-be preparing them for pregnancy and new moms helping them to rehabilitate from giving birth.

Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy
-
The average human loses between 3 and 6 liters of water on a
typical day. One to two liters rushes out as urine, and another
one-tenth liter in defecation. Water lost as vapor when you breathe
could fill around 1 to 2 liter water bottles a day and even more
in arid locations. Sweat fills up another liter on an average
day, but that amount can reach 1 to 2 liters per hour in an intense
workout.
But if you're dehydrated, that super gulp won't give you the quick fix you dream of. The body can only absorb about 1 quart per hour. Drink plenty of clean and filtered water throughout your day, every day. How much? A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water to equal 1/2 your body weight in ounces. For example: a 150 lb. person needs 75 ounces of water every day.
