In her clinical practice, Heidi works with adults and families, addressing a broad range of health concerns using evidence-based, integrative naturopathic medicines and therapies that recognize and support the body’s innate self-healing property.

Dr. Heidi, ND particularly enjoys working with adult women who require prevention and treatment for hormone imbalances and mood disorders (anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief/loss), while she has a special interest in thyroid and adrenal health. In addition, Dr. Heidi, ND employs naturopathic medicines to correct digestive, immune & nervous system imbalances, restore quality sleep, alleviate headaches, joint and muscle pain and bring about better balance, vitality, peace and clarity to the whole body-mind.
Dr. Heidi, ND graduated from the University of Guelph in 1996 with an Honours Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutritional Sciences.
During her undergraduate degree, Heidi was a dedicated athlete of the varsity women’s cross-country and track teams. In September 2009, she and her team-mates were honoured by an induction into the University of Guelph Hall of Fame for their gold medal win at the national cross-country championships in 1996 – the first women’s team in the history of the university to win this title.
Heidi’s life-long calling was to study human health. As a young athlete, she understood the importance of proper nutrition, hydration, positive mental attitude and adequate rest during training and competition, as these facets were foundational for excellence in athletic performance, including injury prevention.
Heidi went on to pursue her certificate of naturopathic medicine at The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto, Ontario. She excelled in the biomedical sciences and the art of natural healing therapies. However, the most significant year of learning came during her time away from college due her own failing health and subsequent journey towards regaining it. Heidi, in turn, has successfully overcome many obstacles and has developed a life based on the principals and practices of naturopathy as the cornerstone for her own health and wellness. Heidi’s personal story is an example of how the power of naturopathy can access the healing that comes from within. Presently, Heidi’s authentic self, naturopathic skill and vitality shine through. She received her Certificate of Naturopathic Medicine in 2004.
Dr. Heidi, ND has additional training and certification in:
