The care you’ve been looking for.
The
Growing Whole Vision.
Growing Whole was founded out of a deep passion for functional medicine and a desire to make this transformative approach more accessible to others. Our provider is dedicated to “root-cause” medicine and had the privilege of practicing in a Functional Medicine clinic for six years. During this time, she witnessed countless patients heal from the inside out, an experience that contrasted sharply with her earlier time in Primary Care, where the focus was often on quick fixes and medication refills. Functional Medicine offers a unique partnership between practitioner and patient, working together to research, replenish, and restore health in a way that truly addresses the underlying causes of illness. With five young children at home, she sought a way to provide meaningful, effective care to her community without sacrificing precious time with her family. And so, Growing Whole was born.
We’re on a mission to transform the way healthcare is experienced. Our goal is for it to become the norm for a parent to easily schedule a virtual appointment to discuss her child’s health—without the stress of waiting in a cold, sterile office for an hour. At the same time, we want to make it standard for healthcare providers to have the time to truly connect with their patients, not rush from one appointment to the next. We believe in offering affordable, convenient, and holistic healthcare in a way that meets the diverse needs of our community. Our ultimate hope is to empower people of all ages to grow into optimal wellness, one day at a time.
