She is extensively trained in Functional Medicine, Bio-identical hormone therapies, and preventive medicine. She received her master’s degree in nursing from The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, TX.

With the creation of New Approach Health, Holly takes primary care to a higher level-- integrating the best evidence-based conventional and alternative methods and focusing on prevention. Holly addresses the individual’s psychology and fundamental emotional needs. She aims to see patients in their own environment, involving family members and often multidisciplinary support to achieve optimal lifestyle design.
