Mindful and intuitive eating and the practice of this.
Stress management and relaxation techniques, naturopathic counselling are an integral part of my practice each day at the clinic
Herbal medicine and clinical nutrients may be incorporated into your plan
My practice has evolved over the past 20 years. I have felt drawn to focus much more on the care of hormonal health throughout our lives and as we age, mental and emotional well-being.
With my undergraduate degree in exercise science, I continue to have a love for the amazing ways our bodies respond to exercise and movement which I often incorporate into my treatment plans with patients. My studies in naturopathic medical school at Bastyr University in Seattle, led me to a focus on women’s health and general family health care, which I still deeply care about today in my practice.
Personally, I love to spend time outside trying to keep up with my two kids, who keep me hopping! I consider myself a lifelong student (I learn from my patients every day) And strive to continue to learn how to care for others, how to be compassionate with myself and how to juggle everything that each day brings.
Come and chat to me and we can help you begin your journey to optimal health and vitality!
