Following board certification, Mariela launched her career in a hospital-based healthcare system.

Mariela believes that symptoms are not random. They are the body’s way of communicating deeper imbalances. She listens attentively, tests thoughtfully, and creates personalized treatment plans that may include hormone and thyroid optimization, gut restoration, nutritional and lifestyle support, and natural or homeopathic therapies. Her goal is to help each patient feel truly well: energized, clear-minded, and balanced.
