As a naturopathic doctor in California, I do many of the same things your regular doctor does.

This includes writing prescriptions, performing physical exams (such as routine GYN care), ordering and interpreting lab tests, making referrals, and diagnosing and treating disease. 

But here's what's different... 

Unlike your regular doctor, I integrate conventional care with natural modalities and a holistic perspective, providing you with the unique approach you've been searching for.

I am also a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) which means I am uniquely equipped to help you navigate your menopause journey. Let’s face it - most doctors are NOT well versed in menopause care and the full menu of available options - but I have been helping women in this regard since 2001! And…Dr. Google and your favorite influencer will only get you so far. I can help you separate fact from fiction.

Aimée

Spoiler Alert: It's not 'Amy'

Pronunciation: "eh MAY"

Aimée means "beloved" or "friend" in French. While I'm not French, it is the name I was given.

When I was a kid, my parents joked that they hoped I would grow up to marry someone with the last name "Zing", because then my name would be "Aimée-zing". That obviously didn't work out, but it is a good way to remember how to say my name!

"Shunney" challenges folks, too. It rhymes with sunny, money, funny, honey… 

I know. Quite a name for one that needs to be said out loud so often! Sometimes, I just give up. Case in point: when I go for coffee, I tell them I'm Sally.

Enough About Me - Tell me about you!
