How I can help...
Pediatrics
Children are precious.
Providing proper care to children is so important to ensure that they are developing into healthy, happy individuals.
Naturopathic pediatric services use the same principles as any other age, but involves a deeper understanding of the specific needs of our little ones. Children and adolescents need a trusting doctor who understands their needs. Parents need a trusting doctor who knows that they have always their child’s best interests in mind.
I love treating children because it allows me to help with the development of children, and watch them grow into healthy and happy adults. Children are more resilient and moldable; therefore, starting early education of healthy living is very important to foster lasting, life‑long health habits.
Female Health
As a woman, I am passionate about helping other women work towards their goals and feel their best. I believe that being a woman helps me to empathize with your concerns. In any life stage, from teenage to post-menopausal years, we can collaborate and focus on helping you feel better.

Doula Services
I am a licensed doula, practicing with Your Downtown Doula. I offer Naturopathic Doula services, which differ from typical doula services in that in addition to providing regular doula services, I am also able to prescribe herbs, homeopathic remedies and perform acupuncture.
Why use a Doula for your birth?
Research shows that being under a doula’s care during pregnancy and labour leads to shorter labours with fewer complications and less medical intervention, healthier babies, and easier breastfeeding. Research also shows that using a doula postpartum can help to improve parental satisfaction and reduce the risk of postpartum mood disorders.

Skincare
With skincare concerns, there are many factors to consider. A large part of what affects the quality of your skin comes from within. Whether it be due to dietary triggers, poor digestion, inflammation, or hormonal imbalances, I am here to help dive into the cause
and work with you to reach your skincare goals.
Facial rejuvenation and cosmetic acupuncture
Facial rejuvenation and cosmetic acupuncture includes inserting very fine needles into the face. It compliments nutritional and lifestyle recommendations to help you achieve healthier looking skin from the inside out. The goal is to improve the overall appearance of your skin and to reduce
the look of fine lines, wrinkles and scars.

What to expect
When you book an appointment with me, your initial visit will be 75 minutes long. During this visit, I will ask a wide range of questions in order to gain insight into your health as a whole person, rather than focusing on one system. This will include discussing your goals as a patient, and mine as your doctor. This visit may include performing physical exams and recommending lab testing to gain further insight into your health.
Your first follow up visit will include revisiting your main concerns and the explanation of a comprehensive treatment plan that will address our goals for you moving forward.
At any point, I may provide recommendations that include but are not limited to nutritional/lifestyle, botanicals, supplements/nutraceuticals, and/or acupuncture. Your consent will always be acquired prior to starting treatment.
