Hi Joni, let’s start by talking about what inspires you?
I am inspired by helping others. I enjoy seeing my clients health improve.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
San Diego is home, from the beaches to the mountains we have so much to do here. I love Seaport Village, Sunset cliffs, Ocean Beach, Julian, and the desert.
