Hi, I'm Dr. Shona Palmer, and I'm so glad that your search for optimal health and well-being has led you here! I am passionate about helping you create a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

If one system is out of balance, usually others are. I increasingly began focusing on integrative psychology and helping others restore health utilizing a holistic approach that encompasses body, mind and spirit.
