Dr. Somoano-Villa is interested in facilitating a patient’s journey to healing and does so by understanding the relationship between structure and function that is found within the body while remembering that healing can only be achieved with a balance of mind, body and spirit. She recognizes that all of her patients are unique individuals and looks for keys to each patient’s wellbeing.  Prior illnesses, accidents, lifestyle, diet, and finding out what makes her patients happy all become a part of the healing process.  Through this process, the patient also learns more about how to help themselves, empowering them to find and maintain a healthy balance on their own.
