I'm obsessed with helping people create:
Healthy bodies,
Clear minds,
Full hearts, &
Joyful lives.
I truly believe that healthy, happy people doing what they love contribute to a more peaceful world.
I'm assuming we can both agree that we really, really, really, need more of that right now.
I want you be one of those people - who's healthy, happy, and doing what you love.
If you want that for yourself too... then hot diggedy. I'm so glad you're here, looking to connect.

Get back to things you enjoy: art, exploring, dance, nature, adventures.
Choose to make all your dreams come true……
🍨I'll have another scoop of that,
how about you? Say yes.
I am a safe, non-judgmental space. People consistently tell me, “I feel so comfortable around you. I’ve never told anyone this before.” My favorite was when a patient showed up in her pjs and told me she wouldn't feel comfortable doing that with anyone else.
I have a knack for empowering and inspiring people to discover and recover from the underlying causes of even their most mysterious health problems.
I love helping people establish healthy, enduring habits that facilitate continuous, positive changes in their lives.
I am very good at asking very good questions. Paradigm shifting questions that create an "ALWAYS BETTER SINCE" in your health and life.
I'm a good laugher. I imagine we're going to laugh together. This a crucial part of my purpose and one of my truest gifts.
I believe that we're the ones in charge of making all our dreams come true. I have a way of rubbing off on the people I work with. Soon, you may believe that too.

I had pseudo-meningitis as an infant, constant ear infections and eczema as a child, a rare form of mono as a teen, and regular skin staph infections – one of which put me in quarantine in the hospital on IV antibiotics.
The doctors were glad I didn’t end up going blind. And so am I.
At age 10, I declared my desire to be a pediatrician. I wanted to help kids get better so they could have tons of fun.
However, through my teenage health challenges, I became disenchanted with the conventional medical system. I was shuffled out of doctors’ offices with prescriptions meant to fill the empty hole I felt for not being heard.
Nobody could tell me why I was so sick, or offer any good, long-term solutions.
And I had an inkling that taking good care of myself would be more effective and actually simpler than I thought.
My family didn't know anything about alternative medicine, so I was never exposed to different and exciting healing ideas until grade 12 when I was introduced to natural and complementary medicine 🤯
I immediately knew that this new way of seeing and working in health care would allow me to help people in the meaningful way I wanted – finding the deeper reasons for their health problems and resolving them at the root.
My eczema healed when I started drinking 2 litres of water per day and when I changed universities so I could be dancing more.
One act of self-care and one act of self-honesty healed 10 years of skin rashes.
This is what I realized:

They (our bodies) are constantly trying to get our attention with our physical and emotional symptoms. Sometimes we just don’t know how to listen or what to do with what we hear.
That’s where our work together comes in. Consider me your wellness ally.
After 5 years of university, and another 4 years at a naturopathic medical college, I’ve been in practice as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2007 and Master Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and coach since 2021.
This is the sweet spot of wholistic medicine: reprogramming the mind for healing... so the body can use natures remedies to... well... HEAL!
Seriously. This is the good stuff and I can't get enough of it! Nor do I want to.
