What attracted me most to naturopathic medicine was its natural and wholistic approach to healthcare, and I love this about my job, but my favourite part about what I do is sharing the feeling of hope and gratitude when I’ve helped improve someones health and wellbeing.

I enjoying seeing patients with a wide range of health goals including digestive health, mental health, and hormone balancing.
