My career in naturopathic medicine truly started during my undergraduate at the University of Western Ontario, where I completed my bachelor degree in science with a double major in biology and psychology. It was there that I started to appreciate how the human mind interacts and influences the body. Learning about neuropsychology and evolutionary psychology fascinated me. I wanted to understand more about how our thoughts and ancestry can affect our health. ?At the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine I then started learning about these connections and how to apply them to patient care. During my medical school training I gained an understanding of how the body communicates with the mind through the nervous system and hormones. I also gained a great appreciation of how nature is fully equipped to resolve most health problems. ?I love being a Naturopathic Doctor and having the opportunity to help patients become healthier and bring balance to their lives. I bring compassion and motivation to my visits, and believe healthcare is a partnership between a physician and the patient. I do not just simply treat symptoms, but also view them as an indication of overall state of health. From acute illness to chronic conditions, my gentle approaches and insightful nature allow patients to find their own balance.
