Philosophy
Dr Faith Christensen
Dr. Christensen recognizes that the person you are today is a result of everything that has happened to you throughout your lifetime starting from the moment of birth. Her goal is to facilitate and promote health and well-being in all aspects of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. She champions empowerment by educating patients by involving them in all aspects of decision-making and treatment.
“My job is to walk with patients on their path and help to identify and remove obstacles to optimal health. In doing so, people learn to identify and remove obstacles independently thus becoming a promoter and champion of health for themselves, their family and their community.
Dr. Faith utilizes many different therapies that stimulate the body to heal on multiple levels. She specializes in health care for men, women and children focusing on quality natural health care for the whole family.
