I spent years working as a chef in top Toronto restaurants, interspersed with enough overseas travel to end up with a medically ‘indefinable’ illness. This ultimately ended with a visit to a naturopath. The return to health through naturopathy was so simple yet so profound, that I decided to change careers in order to bring to others a similar experience - such a powerful route back to a balanced state of health and well-being.

Four years completing an undergrad degree at the University of Toronto, followed by 4 inspiring years at CCNM (Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine), and 2 years of part-time studies at the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine contribute to the core of my treatment knowledge. Other techniques or therapies that I have incorporated into practice include Bowen therapy, Reiki, and Applied Kinesiology. My practice is diverse in scope, helping to prevent disease and treating a wide range of illnesses: from acute injuries or illness, to asthma, allergies, mood disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The beauty of naturopathic medicine is that it focuses on the individual rather than the symptoms, supporting and facilitating the body’s innate ability to heal.

Since starting my practice, I have had two wonderful children, which has given me a much keener insight into the birth process, infant and child health care, and mum's health; this I also bring to my practice. More recently, in response to an increase in thyroid dysfunction in a growing number of patients, I have been certified as a WTS (Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome) practitioner.

What really makes me passionate about my work as a naturopath is accompanying others on their journey to discovering a state of well-being; supporting clients in their journey and sharing their excitement when positive and lasting changes are attained.
