A Passion for Integrative Medicine

Mary Margaret’s commitment to integrative healthcare was born from a personal journey—navigating complex health challenges faced by her two children. Through this experience, she gained firsthand insight into the power of holistic, root-cause-focused medicine. Today, she leverages a broad spectrum of tools—from conventional therapies to lifestyle, nutrition, and functional approaches—to support each patient’s unique healing path.
