Ever since I was a child I have wanted to help others with their health. My stuffed animals and siblings were my first ‘patients’, treated mostly with care, my fisher-price medical kit, and more toilet paper for bandages than my mother would have liked. Later, volunteering at my home town hospital gave me a real love for working with families, as I had the privilege to assist patients from all walks of life.

Pairing this realization with the natural approach philosophy of Naturopathic Medicine to help people start and raise their families naturally just made sense to me. I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Health Studies with a minor in Psychology at the University of Waterloo, prior to attending the four year Naturopathic Medicine program offered by the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM).

This program is a rigorous combination of fundamental science and Naturopathic modality training. The first two years are predominantly spent studying the basic sciences (eg. Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, etc. ) combined with learning the various specific tools of Naturopathic Medicine (eg. Botanical Medicine, Nutrition, Lifestyle modification, Homeopathy, etc. ). I have several areas of interest including: Natural Family Health, Pediatrics, Women’s Health, Indigenous health, Mind-Body Medicine, and General Health and Well-Being.

I have experience working with women and their partners as a Birth Doula. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping mothers and fathers to prepare for the arrival of their little ones, by providing full support before, during and after labour. I received training specifically in Pediatric Care during my clinical internship at the Robert Shad Naturopathic Clinic, where I regularly saw children, ages ranging from newborn to 18 years of age.

I also worked with the Indigenous population at the Naturopathic satellite clinic out of Anishnawbe Health Toronto for four months of my clinical internship.
