About
I’m a professional, put-together, super organized naturopathic doctor and mother of three who also exercises & eats right every single day. Just kidding. I do real life just like you.
When I began studying Naturopathic Medicine, I had just discovered I was pregnant with a child whose father I had met while travelling in Southeast Asia. Not exactly #careergoals.
We did end up together (happily married + 2 more kids!) but this definitely wasn’t part of my life plan. Through years of education, practice and parenthood, I’ve come to discover that hardly anything goes to plan...
+ More...
What keeps me grounded amidst the school runs, volunteer runs, and (frankly) the flu-runs? My committment to naturopathic medicine and its principles. I know that these principles and practices can help you because they’ve helped me.
I get where you’re coming from because I’ve been there. I know there’s something beyond just feeling “fine.” Let’s get there together.
From Fine to Thriving
You deserve better healthcare.
The Thrive Method
Thoughtful Investigation
No cutting corners here! In order to put all the pieces of your health together, we’ll take a good look under the hood, and leave no stone unturned.
Functional Testing
In order to gain deeper insights into your health, where appropriate, functional lab testing may be recommended.
Strategic Roadmap
A long-term plan will be carefully created and presented to you in your 2nd or 3rd visit, which shows you the way to thriving.
Virtual Consults
Can’t make it in to the office? No problem. Private, convenient and secure video consults are available to all residents of Ontario.
Community
Don’t go it alone. We know that those who have a strong community have better health outcomes. I’ve created a private virtual community of amazing thriving families.
Technology
Our secure electronic medical records, automated billing & virtual visits make accessing your doctor easy, secure and convenient.
For less than the cost of your daily Starbucks run, you can have thriving health.
Focus Areas
Perimenopause, Hormones & All the Lady Parts
I'm all too familiar with the woes of changing hormones; whether it's through your menstrual cycle in your reproductive years, or the changes that come in your 40s and 50s with perimenopause and menopause, horomones can play nasty tricks!
+ More...
So whether you’re struggling with perimenopausal hot flashes, painful or heavy periods, weight gain or PMS, let’s get to the bottom of it so you can show up for who and what you love with energy, clarity and confidence. We’ll remove some of the guesswork by doing in-depth testing.
Fertility, Conception & Pregnancy
A thriving family starts early. Healthy pre-conception and fertility care is crucial to optimizing the health of your children and making sure you’re thriving during what can be a very challenging time.
+ More...
We offer preconception detoxification and nutrition optimization, wholistic pregnancy care to minimize symptoms and optimize energy, labour inductions protocols, and postpartum support for you and your little ones.
Digestion & Embarassing Body Q's
Gas, bloating, strange poops, oh my! I’ve heard it all and don’t even flinch when there’s talk of poop, I promise. As we say in Naturopathic Medicine, “all roads lead back to the gut.”
+ More...
So whether you go 5 times a day or 5 times a month, have unexplained tummy pain, reflux or heartburn we need to get to the bottom of your gut health in order to help you thrive and feel your best.
Tension, Stress & Exhaustion
You’re stressed out, overwhelmed, and exhausted. I get it, I’ve been there. There are SO many balls in the air and yep, sometimes they drop.
+ More...
Let me guide you through the fog and out the other side. We’re craft a unique strategy to optimizing your sleep, support your adrenal glands and sprinkle in some much needed self-care, which can go a long way. Once you have the bandwidth to take on more, we’ll take your health even further. Put yourself at the top of the list for a change – in doing so you’re improving the well-being of your entire family.
Pediatrics
A thriving family wouldn’t be complete without thriving offspring. From routine well-baby and well-child checks, cold and flu prevention and...
