And do you know the true root cause of why you feel that way? Many women have shared issues of experiencing overwhelm and don’t know how to get themselves out. Luckily, Dr. Samantha recognized this issue through her naturopathic physician and acupuncturist clinic in Portland, Oregon, and has been working for the past 22 years to help people find physical and mental balance. Now, Dr. Samantha works with clients to create innovative and personalized approaches to dismantle your stress from the inside out and figure out what you really want in life.
