I have been in practice in the valley for over 10 years offering experience, knowledge, skill and a good laugh to help you live a whole and healthy life. Together we will take the time to find what is wrong and how to support you in a way that will work for you.
I have experience treating most medical conditions from arthritis to viruses and most things in between. I prefer to work with simple non-toxic remedies, nutrition and exercise, but I have a solid knowledge of pharmaceuticals and how they interact with natural remedies, so there is no need for you to choose natural medicine over something that may be working well already- instead we can reduce side effects, decrease negative impact (if there is any) and support your body to use whatever medicine works best for you.
Call and schedule a free consult if you think I can help or even if you are just curious about how I approach health.

La Noche Cubana!
April 6, 2013
7:00 – 10:00 pm
Florence Community Center
140 Pine Street, Florence, MA
We are pleased to announce that Iroko Nuevo has been awarded several grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. We will be hosting a series of “Noches Cubanas” in 2013, bringing Afro-Cuban dance, song and rhythm to communities throughout the Pioneer Valley.
Our first event will benefit Casa Latina. Casa Latina is the only Latino-led and Latino-focused organization in Hampshire County, Massachusetts. Their mission is to promote self-sufficiency and a sense of community among local Latinos. They endeavor to fulfill this commitment by working directly with Latino residents to develop educational, access, and action programming based on the community’s capabilities and needs.
This tradition of Afro-Cuban song and dance requires YOU!
Our purpose is to share in song and dance and, in doing so, we lift each other!
See you soon!
Sincerely,
Iroko Nuevo
