PASSION

Being a naturopathic doctor in Victoria, B.C., is truly my dream job. I’m inspired by my work and feel privileged to help people feel healthier every week—more energy, better sleep, improved mood and digestion, fewer allergies, and a greater sense of well-being.

I love to work with hormonal health—from menstrual concerns to preconception, fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Hormones are fascinating chemical messengers that influence so much of our health, and I love helping people better understand and navigate these transitions.

Since beginning my practice in 2006, I’ve come to deeply value the time naturopathic medicine gives me to connect with my patients. Time to listen. Time to understand each person’s unique context. Time to explain, plan, and support lifelong wellness. That time is essential—and something I’m truly passionate about.

ART

Healing is not one-size-fits-all. The art of my work lies in helping each person discover the path that’s right for them.

I listen carefully. I keep your goals at the center of our work. I see our relationship as a partnership—my knowledge and experience, combined with your intuition and values. I may have expertise, but I believe you are the expert on you.

EDUCATION

I’ve known I wanted to be a naturopathic doctor since I was 16, after reading about the profession in a high school career magazine. The blend of science, traditional wisdom, and a holistic view of health just made sense to me—and still does.

I hold a Biology and Environmental Studies degree from the University of Victoria and completed four years of naturopathic medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. I’ve also taught overseas and continue to pursue ongoing education, particularly in women’s health, hormones, digestion, and wellness.

I’m trained in breastfeeding counselling and, since 2010, have prescribing authority in B.C.—allowing me to prescribe select pharmaceutical medications, including menopausal hormone therapy.

As one of the few Menopause Society Certified naturopathic doctors in Victoria, I offer in-depth, evidence-informed care for perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause, with a strong focus on education, options, and individualized treatment.

ME

Outside of work, I’m with my family—my husband and two incredible kids (a teen and a preteen). I’m a master’s swimmer, a passionate gardener, and I love exploring the beauty of Vancouver Island.
