Naturopathic medicine brings together the parts of the world that I enjoy the most. Nature and medicine! As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, I am able to order lab work, perform physical exams when required, request lab work (for a fee), diagnose conditions with this information and prescribe nutrition and supplements, intravenous therapies, heavy metal chelation, botanical medicines, counselling, craniosacral therapy, prolotherapy and acupuncture as well as upcoming new therapies in the industry.

Currently, I am most interested in hormonal dysfunction, weight loss and anti-aging. Your hormones are the messengers of your body and a small problem (excess or deficiency) in one hormone can cause global symptoms throughout the body. This can even include effects on other hormones. Common diagnoses include: hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, hypogonadism, estrogen dominance or progesterone deficiency, menopause and PMS. Weight and aging are common concerns that many of my patients are struggling with. Often there is an underlying problem that is hindering their efforts. Once we solve the issue, or improve the way in which the body works, we can make efforts more effective.

I also have an interest in fibromyalgia treatment and chronic fatigue treatment as well as other chronic disorders including those which conventional medicine doesn't treat particularly well, including digestive concerns such as IBS, Chrohns or ulcerative colitis. IVs can be a great way to improve your energy and begin to get your life back when everything else has failed.

In my personal life, I’ve spent time living in several mountain towns and I became an avid snowboarder and all-mountain biker. I stay active in the city by running, hiking, biking and enjoy weight training as well. I believe it is very important to find activities that you enjoy in order to maintain fitness in your everyday life. This has also given me great interest in naturopathic sports medicine/ sports injuries and has driven me to training in prolotherapy to help heal some of the chronic injuries that are inevitable in such activities.
