Dr. Matsumura describes herself as a holistic Sleep Medicine physician since the entire mind and body are affected by poor quality or lack of sleep.

Her personal passions are working and helping others understand that sleep is the most under utilized elixir of health. It is arguably the most underrated performance enhancer for those developing their inner athlete.
