Biography

I am a naturopathic doctor with a long history of education, an insatiable hunger for learning and a passion for teaching people how to find optimal health. I love empowering patients to understand their health and discover their confidence by feeling and looking their best. As a licensed naturopathic physician, I enjoy bridging the gap between conventional and traditional medicine to provide the most integrative and holistic care possible for my patients. I have a B.Sc in Microbiology and an M.Sc in Biomedical Physiology as well as having been trained as a naturopathic physician. In addition to my practice, I also teach several courses as part of the Academic Faculty at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine.
