About Me
During my studies to become a naturopathic doctor, I developed a passion for supporting women whose hormonal health needs weren’t fully addressed by conventional medicine. This inspired me to focus my practice on hormonal health, with a particular emphasis on conditions such as PCOS, thyroid issues, and perimenopause.
A few years into my practice, I encountered my own hormonal challenges, which led to concerns about my fertility. After being diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency also known as early perimenopause, I found myself navigating the often-overwhelming world of fertility treatments. I developed a profound appreciation for conventional fertility care but also saw first-hand some of the gaps in the system. I observed how essential factors like diet, lifestyle, and targeted supplement support were often missing from treatment plans, and I frequently wished for more time with my practitioners to address all my questions and concerns. My own fertility journey ignited a passion for supporting others on their fertility path with a goal to bridge the gaps in fertility care that I and many others experience.
My Approach
My treatment approach is focused on providing individualized care and working alongside my patients to come up with a plan that is sustainable and realistic given their lifestyle. A foundation of my practice is to run in-depth lab work to make sure we’re truly uncovering and addressing the most important factors when it comes to fertility and hormonal health.
I use diet and lifestyle medicine, professional supplementation, botanical medicine, and bio-identical hormones as my main treatment tools.
My Education
After graduating from Western University with a Bachelor of Science and an Honours specialization in Kinesiology, I completed a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.
I am a member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and am in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.
I have my naturopathic prescribing license and I incorporate bioidentical hormone treatment and natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) into my practice.
