I believe in a collaborative approach to care—when you feel supported and empowered, you can take charge of your health, well-being, and overall quality of life.
My treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all. I offer strategies tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on discovering and addressing the root causes of your concerns. The foundation of my care includes realistic & practical diet and lifestyle changes, with support from herbs, supplements, and acupuncture when appropriate.
My path to naturopathic medicine began with my own digestive issues as a teenager. I experienced daily bloating and pain, which started to affect every part of my life. After months of waiting to see a specialist, I was diagnosed with IBS, told to manage my stress, and sent on my way. I felt dismissed—and that experience sparked my drive to change this story for myself and for others.
I hold a Bachelor of Health Sciences from Western University and earned my Doctor of Naturopathy from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. During my clinical residency, I was selected for the Fibromyalgia & Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) focus shift, where I gained experience in managing complex chronic conditions.
I have a strong clinical focus on digestive health especially IBS, constipation, and heartburn.
I also support patients with stress & insomnia, women at all stages of life (fertility, PCOS, PMS, perimenopause, menopause), and chronic conditions (autoimmunity, chronic pain, fibromyalgia).

At a young age, I was diagnosed with Asthma and allergies and was prescribed the “proper” medication at the time. This included two allergy shots per week, 3 allergy pills per day and a Ventolin inhaler to combat my asthma. As time went on I started to experience terrible stomach pains and eye irritations, which led to more eye drops and a steady dose of Pepto-Bismol.
One day I injured my lower back at work and went to visit a chiropractor. As he took my health history and learned a little about me he said something that I’ll never forget: “Do you think the cause of your allergies, asthma and stomach problems are due to a lack of medicine in your body?”
I’ll never forget that moment because it completely changed the way I looked at health. I then realized that my health was up to me and not dependent on anything else. The chiropractor went on to explain that he would align my spine so that my nervous system would be functioning properly, but it was also up to me to get proper rest, exercise and nutrition if I wanted to be functioning at 100%.
I realize now that health is about being proactive instead of reactive and that we have an amazing healthcare system that can help us through the tough times but we cannot rely on it to make us healthy. Health comes from within and it is up to us to take care of our own bodies. Needless to say with regular chiropractic adjustments, proper rest and exercise, my lower back pain has disappeared and I haven’t had the need to take any pharmaceutical medication in 15 years (knock on wood).
