I did not always envision myself as a Naturopathic Doctor, but from a young age, I felt a profound calling to care for others. Growing up in a bustling household with up to 16 family members and guests, I naturally gravitated towards ensuring the well-being of those around me—whether it was my younger siblings, parents, or grandparents. This inherent drive to assist others propelled me towards a career in healthcare, where I could extend my support beyond my immediate circle.

After earning a degree in Biomedical Sciences from the University of Waterloo, I initially pursued Pharmacy at the London School of Pharmacy. However, upon realizing that this path did not align with my passion, I redirected my focus.

During my Master of Science program in Biology at the University of Waterloo, my mother’s health challenges exposed me to Naturopathic Medicine. Disheartened by the side effects of conventional treatments, she discovered relief and recovery through naturopathic care. Intrigued by this holistic approach, I attended an information session at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), where I discovered my true calling. I was drawn to the preventive measures, gentle therapies, lifestyle changes, and nutrition that Naturopathic Medicine offers as effective alternatives to conventional treatments.

In addition to my professional journey, I have a strong passion for continuing education. Recognizing the evolving needs of our community, I have prioritized staying current and diversifying my skills to foster a holistic approach. I pursued training as a Child and Infant Sleep Consultant and am currently pursuing a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology to become a Registered Psychotherapist. With an increasing awareness of mental health concerns, I have come to understand that addressing these issues is fundamental to helping patients achieve meaningful and sustainable improvements in their lives. Through ongoing education, I aim to support my patients in reaching their life goals and enhancing their longevity and quality of life.

I am committed to the role of Natural Healthcare in preventive medicine. By emphasizing prevention, we can alleviate the strain on our healthcare system, ensuring more efficient care for individuals facing serious illnesses. Naturopathic Doctors complement traditional medical treatments by offering gentle therapies that minimize side effects and enhance overall patient outcomes.

Collaboration between Naturopathic and Medical Doctors is essential for achieving comprehensive patient care. I adhere to Naturopathic Principles to ensure an optimal patient experience, emphasizing proactive health measures to enhance quality of life as we age.
