Our Services
Medical Marijuana Certification - Natural Pain and Symptom Relief
We specialize in natural practices to address pain and symptoms associated with a myriad of chronic illnesses. We support our patients and their caregivers beyond the certification process, maintaining close relationships to determine ongoing needs .
Unlike some franchised medical cannabis practices that merely issue a certification and give general information, we develop individualized recommendations and education, including how to be an informed consumer, read and navigate dispensary menus and access new information that is coming fast and furious.
Congratulations to our 2019 ACNA scholarship winner!

"I will never forget what that first cannabis patient said to me. ‘Because of you I ate for the first time in three weeks, I laughed until I cried with my husband and for a little while I forgot that I was facing mortality.’ This sparked a fire within me that I haven’t been able to put out.
