Welcome to LOEA Wellness – Where Natural Performance is Enhanced by Whole-Body Health!

Hi, I’m Dr. B! I’m passionate about helping active women and athletes unlock their full potential with a personalized, holistic approach to health and performance. At LOEA Wellness, I go beyond quick fixes—I support your body as a whole, connecting the dots between hormones, joints, muscles, and mindset to help you feel strong, energized, and in sync.

I’ve been an athlete for as long as I can remember—starting in kindergarten and continuing through college. My primary focus was track, especially sprinting and hurdles, but I also played softball, lacrosse, tennis, and trained in martial arts. My “no pain, no gain” mindset drove me to succeed, but it also made me more prone to injuries—often ignoring the warning signs my body was sending.

I was frequently sidelined by repetitive injuries—shin splints, ankle sprains, and stress fractures became regular occurrences, especially during the end of the season and post-season. I often felt like I spent more time rehabbing than actually training or competing. These setbacks sparked a deep interest in understanding the body, preventing injury, and optimizing health which ultimately led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Physical Therapy, along with Cellular and Molecular Biology at San Diego State University.

During my time at SDSU, I gained five years of hands-on experience working in a physical therapy clinic. There, I developed practical skills in rehabilitation techniques, including aquatic therapy, Pilates-based movement, electrotherapeutic modalities, and functional movement assessments.

My passion for integrative medicine ultimately led me to Bastyr University California, where I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. At Bastyr, I was trained to approach health from a whole-body perspective—addressing root causes using the least invasive therapies whenever possible. My education included botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, nutrient therapy, pharmaceuticals, and more. I also received advanced training in physical medicine, including soft tissue manipulation, corrective exercise, electrotherapy and more.

At Bastyr, my love for sports medicine deepened. I came to understand that true performance optimization extends far beyond injury rehab. Science shows that the musculoskeletal system is intimately connected, influenced by, and can influence all of the body’s organ systems. This insight shaped my clinical philosophy: to enhance performance and recovery by evaluating and supporting the full-body ecosystem which include hormones, gut health, metabolism, and beyond.

At LOEA Wellness, I combine cutting-edge science with natural therapies to help you perform, recover, and live at your highest potential. Whether you’re a competitive athlete, a weekend warrior, or someone seeking to feel better in your body, I’m here to support your journey with personalized, evidence-based care. Let’s elevate your health—together.
