I grew up in Peterborough and attended Trent University here. After graduating with distinction and an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in biology, I went on to complete my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Within the community I volunteer as the team trainer of the Peterborough Varsity Wolverines football team. I has a family practice, but I have a special place in her heart for perinatal health and cancer care. I also have additional training in reiki, IV therapy, cosmetic acupuncture, cancer care and I am also a birth doula.
