“Naturopathic care that meets you where you’re at.”

 

Helping people feel at home and well in their bodies and in their lives is a calling and passion for me.

From childhood dreams of helping animals to heal, to lifelong commitments to social justice, anti-racism and environmental health, I’ve always been drawn to work with others in ways that create healing and transformation.

In each of my careers I’ve witnessed - and personally experienced - the dilemma of the Western working world. People’s passion and drive for their work came head-to-head with increased demands that take us away from relationship with our selves, each other and the natural environment. 

In 2004, I was invited to help create a pilot study treating low back pain in postal workers with naturopathic medicine. Here I saw first-hand that small consistent lifestyle changes, a supportive environment and traditional medicines could make a dramatic change. I was hooked. In 2010 I became a naturopathic doctor and have not looked back.


Virtual and In Office Naturopathic Care
that meets you where you're at.


safe, evidence-based and traditional medicines are the tools in my toolbox.

Treatments may use one or a combination of nutrition and lifestyle counselling, homeopathy, botanical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and acupuncture. lab testing is also available. Let’s work with assessments and guidance for outcomes that move you from unwell to well, and provide you with tools and practices to restore and maintain your optimal level of health. 

In my practice, i often address concerns related to digestion, hormones, pain and stress.

I work alongside you to unearth the root causes of illness, and provide support in seasonal and life transitions. Let’s effect transformational change to address your pain, digestion and hormonal, and to reconnect you with your inner wisdom.

healing the individual means access to care and community.

Profound shifts can happen when we are seen and held in community. We don’t live in silos and certainly the broader need for community for our survival has never been more clear than in our current world. In collective care, each person’s presence or shared experience holds space for one another’s recovery.

While community acupuncture services are on hold, I regularly hold wisdom circles - safe spaces for community conversations online. And I continue to reserve sliding scale spots for naturopathic services. Please ask me about this option if it can help.
