Bio

Board-Certified Preventive & Obesity Medicine Physician

Dr. Ingrid’s academic studies in cognitive science, eastern philosophy, and osteopathic medicine come together in her role as Founder and Physician at Valia Lifestyle. Her passion for wellness originated in 2004, when Dr. Ingrid established Cornell University’s Meditation & Yoga Club and when she served as President of Cornell's Seven Spirits Kung Fu organization. She saw directly the power of cultivating strength and health for both the body and the mind with these traditions. Her course of study continued to medical school and residency training in Preventive Medicine, when she simultaneously earned her Executive Masters in Public Health from Columbia University's Mailman School. She now holds two additional Board Certifications, as a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine and of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Exploring and integrating all the elements of wellness and fitness is her passion. Dr. Ingrid is fortunate to share her love for lifestyle as medicine with the Valia Team, crafting unique programs for authentic health of body and mind.
