Hi, I’m Cindy,
I’m a wife, mother of three, and family physician who’s stepped out of the box of conventional medicine. I founded Caring for the Body, PLLC – Center for Functional Medicine in Asheville, North Carolina, and I help people recover from complex, chronic illnesses

After years of overwork, sleep deprivation, and working in the dysfunctional healthcare system, I’ve experienced my share of chronic stress, struggle, loss, and grief…not to mention fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and other chronic health issues.

I’m no stranger to the soul-crushing pain of anxiety and depressive symptoms.

For well over a decade I’ve been on my healing journey, walking with Jesus, studying functional medicine, re-imagining my medical practice, and creating my own “joy prescription” lifestyle.

I don’t want to see other women in ministry and medicine burn out or suffer unnecessarily like I did. I am committed to creating a healing community where we can learn, grow and support each other

My goal is to help you build physical, mental, and emotional resilience with lifestyle medicine and biblical wisdom.

We were created to thrive in community!
