I remember feeling similar to how you may be feeling now:
Constantly tired, overwhelmed and exhausted, feeling like something was “off” but wasn’t sure what it was or where to even start. I was taught to “blame my hormones” and distrusted my body as a result.
So much of my attention was spent on surviving that I was hardly even living.
It was then that I worked with a Naturopathic Doctor who did some in depth testing, uncovered the root of why I wasn’t feeling my best, customized a treatment plan for me that helped me to set a foundation for my health rather than running on fumes. And within weeks, I went from being frustrated and exhausted to the best I had ever felt in my life!
And that is exactly what I want for you too.
My own health journey launched me into the passionate pursuit of empowering others to access their best selves by uncovering the factors that are holding them back, providing targeted treatments to address their root concerns, and setting foundations for their health that will serve them through every stage of their life.

Let’s Work Together
The Process of Us Working Together:
Initial Visit
In our Initial visit, we go through a 1 hour in depth appointment reviewing your health history, chief concerns, relevant physical examinations, and details of the factors that may be impacting your health. We will look into practical ways to get started on your health goals with a discussion of further testing or initial treatments.
Personalized Testing
I believe in the “test before you treat” model which allows us to have a deeper look at the factors affecting your health and guide us towards more specific treatment plans tailored for you, without the guess work! During your initial visit we will discuss the need for possible testing including bloodwork, symptom charting, or advanced tests that will guide our treatment plan going forward.
Individualized Treatment Plan
With information from our initial visit and any further testing needed, we will come up with an initial treatment plan based on your goals, and applicable research to address your particular condition. This may include (but not limited to) addressing nutrition, personalized supplementation, herbal recommendations, acupuncture, exercise goals, cupping and body work.
Check Ins
Regular Check ins based on the timeline of your treatment plan will help us to monitor progress and adjust your treatment as needed. The goal is always for us to work together in the process by setting practical, attainable and effective treatments that will help you reach your health goals.
Re-Testing
Along the way, we will re evaluate your initial testing as needed to give us an objective view of how your treatment plan has impacted your health, and give us a further framework for modified treatment going on forward!
My vision
My goal is to help every patient access their best selves in the same way I experienced.
When we uncover and address the factors hindering you from being your best self, it then improves the way you function at work, at home, in your relationships, your personal goals and aspirations.
When you are able to access your best self, it ripples out and affects not only you as an individual, but the lives of those around you, in your family, your community and eventually in future generations.
The truth is, you don’t have to feel the way you have been feeling. You CAN access your best self and I’d love to work with you to do that.
Want in?
My vision is to improve access to Naturopathic medicine and Individualized Care so individuals and future generations can all access their best selves.
