Dedication and Passion in Natural Medicine
Born and raised in the fertile valley of Sonoma, California, Dr. Danielle had an innate attraction to the natural environment. An interest in health and well being developed from this attraction, giving rise to the childhood dream of becoming a doctor. Dr. Danielle enrolled in San Diego State University and completed pre-medical course work while earning a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology. She wanted to follow her grandfather's footsteps into the field of optometry, up into her very last year of undergraduate coursework.
