About Me

I’ve always been fascinated by the inner workings of both the body and the mind. Before becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Biology from the University of Waterloo, where I graduated magna cum laude. My interest in neuroscience led me to complete an honours thesis in visual cognition and earn a research grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

​

That curiosity eventually drew me toward medicine that looks deeper — not just at symptoms, but at the intricate systems, histories, and patterns beneath them. I went on to complete my training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia, and for over a decade I’ve continued to grow and refine my skill set to meet the spectrum of my patients’ needs.

​

In addition to naturopathic medical training, I pursued advanced certifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Mental & Emotional Release® Therapy. This allows me to integrate mind-body therapies with physical medicine when appropriate — particularly in cases where emotional stress, subconscious blocks, or unprocessed experiences may be contributing to persistent health issues. I am one of the few Naturopathic Doctors in Canada with this scope of therapeutic integration.

​

Based in Kitchener-Waterloo, I practice 100% virtually and work with patients across Ontario and unregulated provinces to help them navigate complex health challenges with clarity and support. Together, we look at physical, emotional, environmental, and lifestyle factors to build an individualized strategy — not a template, not a protocol. This isn’t about handing you a plan; it’s about partnering with you to create sustainable change based on who you are and how you live.

​

My professional work is rooted in the same values that shape my personal life: growth, grit, and integrity. I’m a former varsity athlete, black belt martial artist, Boston Marathon qualifier, and Canada Winter Games gold medalist — and I bring that same commitment and tenacity into helping my patients redefine what’s possible for their own health.

​

My work and travels across the globe have deepened my respect for the uniqueness of each person’s lived experience — and the many ways culture, community, and belief shape health. These experiences have helped shape how I practice today: with curiosity, compassion, and a drive to help others rise above limitations — real or perceived — to feel more like themselves again.

​

Integrative care leads to better patient outcomes. I believe every patient should have both an MD or NP and an ND — each plays a distinct and essential role in healthcare and I welcome collaboration within the care team to ensure care is cohesive, informed, and aligned.
