My introduction to Functional Medicine occurred during my tenure as a Primary Care Provider within conventional medicine. In my quest for more profound and impactful ways to assist my patients, family, and myself, I found myself in a state of restlessness. Those six years as a PCP were pivotal, highlighting the stark divide between traditional medicine’s approach to disease prevention and resolution. While acknowledging the place of pharmaceutical medicine, it became evident that its efficacy in preventing diseases or addressing the root causes of inflammatory disorders was limited. The use of pharmaceuticals, while potentially alleviating symptoms, often led to an imbalance, triggering additional disease processes.

I love foraging in the backyard and woods and harvesting food and medicine the way nature intended. My family is eager to join me as we discover the joy of harvesting and preparing edible wild plants. Teaching my patients about these possibilities in their own lives has proven beneficial on many levels.”

Deborah OettingerJanuary 28, 2024 I had been suffering from overwhelming fatigue and depression for about a year. My doctor did some tests, said it was chronic fatigue syndrome and wanted to put me on anti-depressants. I was feeling defeated and like this was just my new normal. Then I scheduled a consult with Terra, she truly listened to me, ordered a wide array of tests and it turns out I was severely deficient in vitamin D and B. A few weeks of injections and ongoing multi-vitamin and I'm feeling like my old self again! I am so grateful for her! Dr Jay Vanden HeuvelJanuary 24, 2024 Dr Terra is a true Doctor in every sense of the word. Because to be a Doctor it means "to teach". Come learn w Dr Terra. Like about how education first, is the real medicine. And first do no harm. The approaches are easy to understand and results are felt. That's your money going to work for you! Spread the word. - Dr Jay P Vanden Heuvel PhD, IMD, DHS Alyssa HansonJanuary 23, 2024 Terra’s passion, gentleness, and knowledge has made me feel so cared for! From my very first meeting with Terra I knew she cared about me. Terra listens diligently and creates space for healing. In just 2 months Terra has provided me with personalized care that has resulted in a steady recovery for me. She has gifted me the necessary care that western medicine has been unable to provide me for 15 years. Terra prioritizes her patients and goes above and beyond to make sure I receive the treatment I need. She literally drove to my home when I was unable to make it to her office. I HIGHLY recommend Terra, words cannot describe how talented and kind she is!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 3 reviews
