What brought you to whole-person health?

Sanaz Demehry’s journey into integrative medicine began when she had health issues after giving birth to her first and second child. These issues were largely unresolved despite seeing multiple specialists in both western and eastern medicine. When her children started suffering from several acute and chronic illnesses too, she began study in integrative and herbal medicine, which offered her a path to healing and wholeness not only for her family but her patients as well with evidence-informed research. She is passionate about empowering women and children with the tools necessary to prevent illness, treat it at its root, and maintain healthy lifestyle choices along the way.
