Pointing you in the right direction.
There are few things more complex and beautiful than how we are built and function. Unlike traditional therapy that views the body as a set of separate systems, integrated and functional treatment sees you as you..whole. One person, one body, one life. All of it living, breathing, moving and communicating.
At The Pointe we know life can be different, life can be better. By considering 5 key areas we customize a care plan to meet you needs. The goal is not to suppress symptoms or function, but to understand what may be going awry and give your body what it needs to function in a more healthful, vibrant way. We are in the business of profoundly improving lives by promoting healthy function and balance. Our vision for you is to experience life more fully each and every day.

About Tina Musselman
While in school for pre-medicine I looked around at my family and the healthcare system and decided I didn’t want to die on a box of pills, nor did I want to prescribe them for others. I found my way to functional and integrative care through my own weight loss and wellness journey. Since making the decision to change paths from pre-medicine to nutrition and wellness, I have never looked back. At the end of college, I knew traditional dietetic work would not satisfy my desire to help others profoundly improve their lives. I went on to obtain advanced training in integrative and functional nutrition including the mind/body interaction. To better help clients bridge the gap between knowing and doing, I pursued a masters in counseling with a focus on marriage, family and relationships .
After 13 years in this field, I am as passionate as ever at helping others achieve their goals and dreams in health and life. I am on a mission and look forward to working with you. My desire is to help you give your body what it needs to function, try to uncover the root cause of your concern, and help you truly enjoy life and live vibrantly each and every day.
