A Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor and a registered member of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.
I started my studies at the University of Guelph with a background in Applied Human Nutrition. I then graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine where I obtained my Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine.
My philosophy and treatments involve:
Simplicity
I am here to guide you through all of the information out there, to help create focus and simple, sustainable changes.
Healing from within
True healing comes from you, your strength, ideals, and wisdom. Your body has the ability to heal itself, give it the opportunity to do so by removing obstacles and providing therapies to help get things on track.
Modern love
So much of today's society involves shaming, comparison and outward focus. I believe that love and kindness is needed to shift change and promote healing.
Trust
Learning to trust your mind and body and listen to what it is telling you through the symptoms you're feeling, as well as trusting in your own strength. Listen to your body, support it, and let it thrive.
Support and Community
Everyone needs more of this, and people love to help. I encourage everyone to ask for help, and to help others. It not only brings people together, it brings a sense of belonging and feeling heard.
Running - my own personal form of therapy
Food and Nutrition - If I'm not eating, I'm thinking about eating
Gardening - Such a fulfilling feeling, watching plants come to life and flourish
Music - I can't play, I just enjoy. Fun fact: attending concerts increases your sense of well-being and life expectancy!
Nature - I try to get out under the trees, daily. My dogs especially appreciate this!
