About Us

 With a bachelor's of science in exercise and wellness and a minor in nutrition, Kim understands the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and how unique each individual is. Her experience ranges from personal training, health counseling, and medical back office. Her interest for health extends into her personal life as well. She loves working out, volleyball, hiking/ the outdoors, and cooking. Health is multidimensional and is more than just diet and exercise. That's why she is excited for the opportunity to be a part of Dr.Patel's amazing team as her approach to wellness is fresh and inspiring!  

Karen loves working as an RN with Dr. Patel! She loves integrative medicine's approach to treating the root causes of diseases and conditions, and helping patients on their journey towards health and healing.

In her spare time, she enjoys exploring around the state, as she is still somewhat new to AZ. She loves being outdoors- her favorite hobbies are hiking, biking, playing tennis, and spending time with family.

Julie Rake began her career in 2003 as a Family Practice PA where she specialized in internal medicine and women’s health.  After experiencing the limitations of the current medical model, she sought new ways to better help her patients heal. She attended the Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Arizona under the tutelage of Integrative Medicine leader Dr. Andrew Weil and graduated in 2015. 

Currently, Julie specializes in Integrative Mental Wellness. IMBH supports a whole body approach to emotional health utilizing multiple fields of medicine, various healing modalities, mind-body medicine and nutritional sciences. Julie’s special areas of practice include addressing emotional health, traum, recovery from brain injury, coping with grief and loss, teaching mind-body medicine and spiritual counseling.

She is a provider for the SPARTA Project, a non-profit organization whose mission is to help heal the moral and spiritual wounds of our war-fighters and veterans. She is strongly committed to serving her patients and her community. She says, “When we heal ourselves we become healers, and when we help others to heal, they will go out and affect the world in powerful and beneficial ways.”
