Dr. Corinne M. De Soto

As a family physician, I empower my patients and help them navigate their health through all stages of life.  I collaborate with other pediatricians, mental health workers and medical specialists to provide truly holistic medicine. I offer my patients a customized, guided health care system that other doctors do not; a system that includes nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, craniosacral, IV therapy, labs and imaging plus pharmaceutical medications. I am trained and certified in treatment of Mold Toxin Illness and also work with complex chronic illness. We will work as a team to achieve and maintain your health goals because I am your partner in sickness and in health.

Ashley Demaline

Ashley has been a board certified nurse practitioner since 2010. She has her Master's in Nursing and is board certified through the ANCC. She has experience working with a very diverse population in a variety of clinical settings including outpatient and virtual primary care, hospitals, nursing homes, adult family homes, home health and inpatient hospice. 

Ashley is also a functional medicine practitioner and has her certification from the Institute of Functional Medicine, the gold standard for functional medicine education. "Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual." https://www.ifm.org/ She is also certified as an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach and Registered Yoga Teacher.

Ashley feels that all of these modalities compliment each other and offer an integrative approach to healing and transformation. She has experienced the profound benefits of these approaches on a personal level and is inspired to share this with others. Ashley believes that the more our bodies are in balance, the more we can mālama (take care of) ourselves, each other, our communities and the 'āina (land). She will support you in your journey towards thriving health, integrating therapies that suit your personal needs, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. 

When she's not seeing clients, she can be found spending time with her animals, in her garden, practicing yoga, hiking, biking, dancing, or in the ocean.
