My journey to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor began many years ago before I knew the profession existed. Like many doctors-to-be, I knew that I wanted to help people feel better. I spent many hours volunteering at organizations such as AIDS Niagara & Big Brothers & Sisters of Niagara, and was a research assistant, all the while obtaining my four-year Honours degree inCommunity Health Sciencesat Brock University.

During my third year of university I spent one month volunteering at an all-girls orphanage in Cusco, Peru. It was here that I realized my goal of helping people to feel better just wasn’t enough. I wanted to be a part of my patient’s healing journey. I wanted to provide them options and most of all I wanted to help them heal themselves. I completed a four-year, full-time doctor of naturopathic medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.

During my clinical training I spent 8 months at the Sherbourne Health Center in downtown Toronto whose primary focus was to provide treatment and support for those affected by HIV. After graduation I became a member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors and Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors and am registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. Since then I have done further training in Bioenergetics and Biotherapeutic Drainage as well as received certification in Usui Reiki.

My Naturopathic practice focuses on the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, cellular, and environmental spheres of health to heal. It is my job to make the connections between your health concerns in order to find the solutions, address root cause, and help you feel empowered on your health journey. I believe in working as a team with other health care professionals for the optimization of your health and I understand the importance of evidence-based care in certain aspects of Naturopathic medicine.

I see a wide variety of conditions and patients of all ages. Over the last nine years I have developed a special interest in:Hormone health including thyroid conditions, stress management/adrenal dysfunction, and women’s hormone balance such as PMS, PCOS, peri-menopause, & menopause. Children’s health including leaky gut syndrome, food intolerances, and eczema. I also treat many people with:Mental/emotional health concerns including depression and anxiety.

Digestive health concerns: SIBO, leaky gut syndrome, and food intolerances. Autoimmune conditions. When you’re treating from a holistic perspective there is no way to treat just one area. For example, if you have a thyroid condition it is also imperative to discuss digestive health, the potential for autoimmunity, chronic infections (ex: SIBO) and heavy metal exposure. used to say in my spare time I love to travel and spend time outdoors, mindfully taking in my surroundings and enjoying a coffee.

Nowadays, I thrive in the craziness of a household with an active toddler and vibrant baby, a husband, and our cats Oliver & Sushi who make me laugh and keep me smiling regularly. We still love to travel and be outdoors it’s just a little less mindful and a lot more fun. I’ve had the privilege of visiting 14 different countries and have hiked some of the most beautiful trails in the world including the Na Pali Coast in Kaua’i.

I am very proud of all of these experiences as they continue to keep me humble, grounded, and grateful. I look forward to seeing you at NRH!.

My initial fascination with medicine wasn’t exactly romantic – in its earliest evolution, it started with an emergency room visit at the age of three in which I watched in awe as my ring finger was re-attached and was punctuated throughout my childhood as I was pushed through the system as a competitive dancer suffering from chronic back pain and then a hormonal teenager suffering from unexplainable neurological symptoms mimicking a stroke. As a result, I saw several sides of medicine – emergent in and out care that quite literally put me back together to chronic disease specialists that had the tools but couldn’t seem to carve out time to validate, diagnose, treat and/or monitor my condition. After all – “you’re young, you’ll probably be fine…”

I chose Naturopathic Medicine because I enjoy the deep dive work, finding what underpins a disease process and carefully unravelling disease factors. Working as an ND affords me the time to listen, learn, educate and monitor my patients in a way that aligns with values and allows me to deliver the highest quality care and comprehensive follow up. My promise to you: as your doctor I will take time to listen, remain curious, hold you accountable and act as a fierce health advocate. One of my core values is courage – I promise to be courageous enough to brave, with you, the very vulnerable space that lies between problem identification and “the fix.” (note: you are NOT broken)

I bridge the gap between modern medicine and traditional wisdoms in a way that serves my patients’ highest health. My goal is to empower women to reclaim their health and happiness because we know that a healthy woman translates to a community of healthy people. Given the tools – women learn, women teach, women share and women lead! That is world changing!

I know personally how dangerous the gender gap in medicine and research has become for women in the 21st century so I focused my practice on women and treating females differently because – we ARE different. Your physiology, your disease factors and your metabolism require a unique approach to health optimization. I will meet you where you are, use strategic assessment to obtain both objective and subjective data points to assess progress, functional medicine testing to confirm a naturopathic diagnosis and education as the basis for all treatment plans. I also pride myself in working closely with my patients’ other health care providers to ensure my care is adjunctive and supports the patient ability to meet and exceed their health goals safely.

I started my formal training by obtaining an Honours degree in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences from the University of Ottawa before attending the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. At the College, I acted as Vice President – Clinic within the student council, travelled to Nicaragua and delivered primary care to over 150 locals on Ometepe Island in 2014, sat on the admissions committee, was the first student to sit on the Clinical Therapeutic’s Committee (CTC) and was selected to join the first group of interns to work in Canada’s first fully integrated, hospital based, naturopathic out-patient clinic. I completed a 12 month rotation at the Brampton Civic Naturopathic Teaching Clinic while working concurrently at the Parkdale Community Health Centre servicing low income patients and at the College’s onsite clinic – The Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic.

At home, I go by “mama.” My husband and I are proud members of the “two-under-under” club and our dogs make us a family of 6. Design work is my secret artsy passion and I’m currently working on mastering my mom-bun, my iced-coffee and macrame.

I became inspired to become a Naturopathic Doctor after witnessing the burden that chronic disease had on many family members, feeling helpless, wanting to assist, but not knowing how. It is when I worked in Community Medicine at the University of Calgary focusing on mental health and social determinants of health where I was introduced to Naturopathic Medicine. This sparked my calling to help others in a direct way. I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) where I completed a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine (ND). I also hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree from McGill University. During the fourth year of my clinic internship I treated patients at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic and the LAMP Community Health Center.

I work as a health detective to identify the root causes of your health concerns and whatever obstacles are preventing you from reaching your goals. I empower, educate and motivate my patients to reaching their optimal health.

In addition to supporting general wellness and seasonal care (eg. cold & flu, allergies, seasonal affective disorder), I focus on mood regulation (eg. anxiety, depression, stress management), digestive concerns and hormonal imbalances.

Using natural therapies, I am passionate about health, my goal is to inspire others to make positive lifestyle choices to enjoy healthier lives. The principle of ‘Doctor as Teacher’ has always resonated with me and I believe that by providing patients with knowledge and tools, they become empowered to reach their optimal level of health.

I am a member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and I am registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO).

When not busy in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, being creative, cooking, gardening, connecting with nature, meditating, doing yoga and watching movies.
