Patricia Fitzgerald is a passionate wellness educator in addition to being a highly credential health practitioner. Her credentials include a Master’s Degree in Chinese Medicine and a Doctorate in Homeopathic Medicine. She is licensed as an acupuncturist and herbalist and is certified as a clinical nutritionist. She has served on the faculty of Yo San University of Chinese Medicine.

After cofounding the first holistic health facility in Philadelphia, in 1984, Dr. Fitzgerald relocated to California and founded the Santa Monica Wellness Center, one of the most renowned holistic health centers in the United States. She has provided patients with natural and nontoxic treatments to aid in various health challenges.

Dr. Fitzgerald has lectured extensively in the United States and internationally. Her audiences have included both alternative and traditional medical professionals, as well as the general public. She has also presented at the university level.

She is often interviewed by the media. Dr. Fitzgerald was recently featured on PBS and The Wall Street Journal.

Dr. Fitzgerald has had a special interest in the healing properties of plants. She recently returned from an expedition in the Amazon Jungle researching medicinal plants that may be used for cancer and immune support.

Dr. Fitzgerald has observed that many health challenges presented in the clinic have toxicity as a contributing factor. When you remove the obstacles to healing (toxicity, poor diet, stress, etc.) and give the body what it needs (nontoxic lifestyle, clean diet, peace of mind) the body is able to heal itself. Dr. Fitzgerald wrote The Detox Solution: The Missing Link to Radiant Health, Abundant Energy, Ideal Weight, and Peace of Mind to share with the world what she has learned about health and healing by observing the miraculous results of thousands of patients at The Santa Monica Wellness Center.
