Hi, I'm Dr. Oceana!
Little Dr Oceana gives an early craniosacral therapy session
I am a naturopathic doctor (read more about what that means here) specializing in easy to use, highly effective eastern and western medicine tools
I grew up as a fugitive child, spent my twenties caring for my ill mother before she died, and threw myself into an exciting new career in medical school two months after her death. Needless to say, I am no stranger to stress, trauma, burnout physical pain, and mystery illnesses. (you can read the longer story here)
Trained as a primary care naturopathic doctor, I have walked the path of Western medicine and also the path of holistic medicine. I have taken tools from biochemistry exams, cadaver dissection anatomy lab, and Shaman-led forest meditations alike.
The culmination of my training as a primary care doctor and my life experience as a human being, is an unusual and expansive toolkit ranging from cutting-edge acupressure techniques, to the lost art of nourishment with herbs.
In my last year of medical school, I myself became very, very ill and was not helped by either western nor even naturopathic medicine! This led me down a path of trauma healing and working with the energy system which proved to be surprisingly healing.
I have been amazed to witness that some of the simplest, and little known techniques and methods, were the most effective. There is no one tool that is right for any one individual, which is why I am pleased to be able to offer you a toolkit which is the culmination of a hard-earned education both personal and professional. You can dive a bit deeper into my philosophy here, read what I am, and am not here, or baok an appointment here.
