ensuring women feel heard, empowered & educated through treatment
MY HISTORY
I came to Naturopathic Medicine from an unconventional background. While working as an accountant, I developed an interest in Naturopathic Medicine and was drawn to the profession through a penchant for nourishing food, physical activity and time spent in the outdoors.
I believe that prevention is the key to good health and I endeavour to combine natural, evidence-based treatments into my patients’ integrative care. I also believe that patient education is essential for long-term wellbeing and empower my patients to take control of their own health. I am dedicated to fostering a safe place for my patients to explore their health, discover the root cause of their illness and begin their wellness journey with confidence.
MY approach
I believe in an integrative approach to treatment, where I am happy to work alongside other healthcare providers to achieve the greatest health outcomes for my patients. I use comprehensive laboratory testing to guide treatment, remove the guesswork and better understand the root of my patients’ concerns. Treatment protocols are individualized to each specific patient and include the following modalities:
Acupuncture
Botanical medicine
Clinical nutrition
Comprehensive laboratory testing
Lifestyle counselling
Nutraceuticals
Pharmaceuticals
