Happy Naturopathic Medicine Week!

Happy Naturopathic Medicine Week!

Across Canada, naturopathic doctors are celebrating the profession we love and our dedication to helping patients live their best lives.

For me, the week is both a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about naturopathic medicine, but also reflect on the reasons I got into this work.

I’ve been a practising as a naturopathic doctor in Port Alberni and Tofino since 2007. After earning my Honours Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from the University of Toronto in 1999, I trained for four years at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, graduating in 2006.

Over my years in practice, I’ve developed a specialty in helping women to feel their best. I regularly treat:

  • hormonal imbalances
  • menstrual problems
  • sleep problems
  • menopausal problems
  • digestive problems
  • adrenal and thyroid dysfunction

I am trained in functional medicine testing to address the root cause of patients’ symptoms. I am also trained hormone replacement therapy. I have prescription rights in BC.

Over the years, I have enjoyed developing long-term relationships with my patients. I like seeing them move into better health and find new ways to improve their lives by finding healthy lifestyle changes that work for them.

In celebration of Naturopathic Week, tell a friend about your experience with naturopathic medicine. Or if you’ve never tried it and you want to improve your health or tackle a health issue, contact me to set up a discovery call and see how I can help!
