Anna (Flourish Healthcare) provides a proactive, preventive and personalized approach to address your unique health challenges using a functional medicine approach that looks at the root causes of imbalance or dysfunction in your body. She looks at your specific biological terrain to assess why symptoms developed in the first place.

Anna views the body as a whole complete system rather than as individual parts. The whole system includes your body, mind and spirit and these are all in dynamic communication with one another.
