After completing my Doctor of Naturopathy degree in 2010, I’ve made it my mission to transform patients’ health through education, evidence-based treatment, and on-going support. I can help you understand what is going on in your body, why you’re experiencing a health crisis, and then create an individualized treatment plan so that you start feeling better today.
As a long-time competitive athlete, I understand the fundamentals of keeping your body – and mind – in top shape. Now, as a mom of three to two energetic boys and a baby girl, I realise the incredible importance of family health, setting a positive example for young souls, and wanting to be strong and healthy myself so I can continue to keep up with our kids for years to come. I am also a certified Naturopathic Doula, having undergone additional training to be able to provide more specialized care for couples during their pregnancy and parenting journey.
Only when we fully commit to a holistic view of health – in how we eat, think, live – can we benefit from the phenomenal power of preventative medicine.
This blog is a passion project: the cumulative result of the years growing up working in our family’s health food store, educating myself on how to live a healthy life, being educated in the post-graduate Naturopathic Doctor program, and finally interacting with patients in practice. There is a TON of info out there, and it can be tough to know what’s right (and also what’s right for YOUR health). I’ve always loved teaching – it’s through knowledge that we are empowered – and there is a noticeable difference in our health once we truly “own” it. I’m here to be your friendly “Neighbourhood Naturopath” – your resource for wellness in a culture that doesn’t always foster good health.
No one should settle for a life of illness. I believe that, with time and personal effort, anyone can achieve great health and happiness.
When I’m not chasing our kids around, spending time outdoors, working out, teaching, or writing, I can be found seeing patients virtually and at my practice location in Aurora, Ontario.
