My Story
I grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba on an urban farm. My grandparents started a hobby farm in the 1940's, and as residential housing was slowly built up around them they managed to keep a small piece that grew into a plentiful garden surrounded by oak trees, where I was fortunate enough to learn to appreciate life, and nature.
​​
It was there that I developed a strong sense of family, and a keen understanding of the importance of our relationship with the natural world.
​​
Our summers were spent eating food from the garden, and preserving it for the winter months. Weekends were spent outside at national parks, and cottages as much as possible.
​
I've personally experienced how nature can positively impact your life, and it is my mission as a naturopathic physician to share my knowledge with you though high quality integrative care. I work alongside other health care professionals and advocate for my patients so they receive the best care possible.

What I do for fun
Education
I love being outside, whether it's hiking, swimming, sailing, fishing, or traveling. I believe spending time outside is one of the best things you can do for your mood and for stress management, so finding something you enjoy is well worth it.
​
When I'm inside, I love to be creative in order to keep my brain sharp, because yet again, it is one of the best stress management techniques if you enjoy it. I also spend a lot of time in the weight room at the gym, always setting new fitness goals. And of course, I love to spend time with my friends and family.
I received a bachelors degree in microbiology from the University of Manitoba. I then studied for four years at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, and obtained my naturopathic medical licence from the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia.
​​
I have completed additional certifications through Therapeutics Education, Ohm Medical, EcoMed Naturopathic, Cogence Immunology, and International IV Nutritional Therapy.
