About Me
Helping you build healthy habits for life.
For 25 years, I have lived near High Park with my husband, our three children, and our cat. All our children are now adults and have left the nest. We are both busy professionals juggling family life, so I know and understand how important it is that you feel your best at work and home.
For the past decade, I have been managing rheumatoid arthritis with a combination of medication and natural therapies such as dietary changes, herbs, nutritional supplements and exercise. This combination has enabled me to remain active and pain free. This personal experience allows me to bring a deeper understanding of how your health concerns affect your life and I bring this empathy to my naturopathic practice.
In my spare time, I enjoy drinking good coffee, making delicious healthy food, playing piano, traveling, working out, and backcountry canoe camping.

Member in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, which is regulated under the Regulated Health Professions Act.

Why Choose Me?
Your appointments give you enough time to thoroughly discuss all of your health concerns and explore the physical, emotion, and lifestyle factors that play a role in how your body reacts to the world around you. I spend time with you to explain how your body works, what lab tests mean, and create a strategy about how you can feel better in do-able steps.
After having been in practice for 20+ years, I have the experience to help you realize what goals are realistic and how to best get there with a strategy that does not take over your life. We are all busy professionals with personal lives and your health strategy is not meant to be another full time job.
My approach is compassionate, non-judgemental and focused on helping you find what works best for you.
I have your best interests in mind and work with other professionals in your healthcare team including medical doctors, chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and midwives.
