A native of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Dr. Henson has family spread from coast to coast, which is where her education carried her. Her desire to get to the root cause of illness and treat your whole person – mind, body and spirit – led Dr. Henson to pursue a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree at West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine. She then completed residency training at Community Memorial Health System in Ventura, California. Dr. Henson did additional coursework in obesity medicine at Columbia University in New York City. She is triple board certified in internal medicine (American Board of Internal Medicine), osteopathic internal medicine (American Board of Osteopathic Internal Medicine), and obesity medicine (American Board of Obesity Medicine).  

Dr. Henson models an active lifestyle with plenty of exercise, practicing classical ballet, walking her Siberian Husky, international travel and photography.
