Dr. Gayl: Dr. Gayl is a board certified Family Medicine with Obstetrics provider, with 18 years of experience in treating patients of all ages, as well as pregnant mothers and newborns. She has long had the dream of creating a Wellness practice to relieve patients from the"backwards" approach of Western medicine. She believes that assisting the innate ability of the body to heal should be brought back to the forefront of medical practice. Incorporating prenatal care, a return to safe homebirthing, well child care, and holistic living in a peaceful, non-hurried setting is the perfect way to remind us that medicine is more than a prescription or surgical intervention.

Joy has extensive training in working with survivors of trauma, especially sexual abuse, family violence, and physical abuse. Pregnancy and birth is such a huge part of a woman's life, it can affect the body, relationships, life choices and self-image. It also can bring up any difficult experiences from childhood or of being parented. Joy is also very interested in supporting women who have experienced birth trauma. Sometimes only a small number of sessions are required in order to deal with an experience you have been through, and for others it can be a part of a longer process of understanding and making deeper changes necessary to heal and move forward. Joy believes that it is important to find the right match when looking for a therapist. Your past does not define you, it is not too late to get the support you deserve.
