Meet our Team
Dr. Rupa Salwan, ND
Hi, I’m Rupa!
I believe we all deserve to live a life fulfilled. A meaningful life that you can cherish and continue for years to come. There are a lot of obstacles that can make us physically tired and spiritually drained, one being our health. But I truly believe that simple and effective medicines have the greatest potential to transform our health.
I am interested in getting to know you and what you want out of life. I believe in meeting you on common ground and working together to solve your health problems. I take a minimalistic approach to any health changes because I want to help you make real improvements and take charge of your health. I don’t believe in making you a professional vitamin-taker because health isn’t at the bottom of a bottle.
You can trust that I will ask the tough questions because those are the barriers that keep us from achieving our full potential. It’s only once we ask the hard questions that we achieve healing in our bodies, minds and hearts.
We all want to live healthier and happier lives, so let’s do it!
Things I love
Food (need I say more), good books, warm drinks, amazing friends, travelling, getting dressed up, staying in my pjs, the honest truth, hiking, crisp apples and waking up to a shining sun.
