Approach
& Philosophy
10 years ago Dr. CJ was at a crossroads in life. She was struggling with weight loss resistance, hormonal imbalances, sugar addiction, depression, joint pain and had lost her zest for life.
This led her to embark on a journey of self-discovery. Utilizing her 30 years in health sciences, she created the “PuraVida Transformation System.”
In the last 10 years over 3,000 people have gone through the “PuraVida Transformation System” with life changing results. From Diabetics to those struggling with Hormonal imbalances and auto-immune disorders.
Dr CJ’s wealth of experience in cellular healing, nutrition, and functional medicine equip her to implement person specific holistic strategies.
She was able to get her health back, and in turn, has devoted her life to helping others experience the same transformation
