As a Traditional Chinese medicine herbalist, Izabel's education consisted of extensive classroom time and clinical hours treating patients with herbs. Additionally, she passed a rigorous herbal national board exam to be licensed in Texas (not all states require this). Licensed acupuncturists are the only health profession in Texas requiring formal herbology training.

As part of Izabel's 4+ year clinical master’s education, she was trained in biochemistry, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and herb-drug interactions. She will review your medication list to note any contraindications and possible side effects. Izabel will also continually monitor you while taking herbal medicine — as your condition and symptoms change, your formula will be adjusted accordingly. Izabel has additional experience in using Integrative & Functional Medicine to create effective supplement protocol to enhance your acupuncture & herbal treatments.
