Evidence-informed. Personalized. Root-cause focused.
Perimenopause and menopause aren’t simply about hormones.
Healthy aging isn’t simply about adding years to your life; it’s about protecting your brain, heart, bones, muscles, metabolism, and independence so you can continue doing the things you love for years to come.
While my clinical focus is women’s midlife health, I also provide naturopathic care for men, children, and families, recognizing that better health often begins with supporting the whole household.
Today’s always-connected world also affects our health. Chronic digital overload, constant notifications, excessive screen time, and information overload can contribute to stress, anxiety, poor sleep, reduced focus, and nervous system dysregulation; factors that often worsen hormone-related symptoms.
Sleep, stress, nutrition, movement, digestion, blood sugar, brain health, and the nervous system all influence how you feel during midlife.
My role is to help you understand how these pieces fit together and develop a personalized plan that supports both your symptoms today and your long-term health.
Healthcare Shouldn’t Feel Rushed
One of the greatest advantages of naturopathic care is time.
Appointments are designed to understand the whole picture; not just one symptom.
We’ll discuss:
- your health history
- family history
- current symptoms
- lifestyle
- nutrition
- sleep
- stress
- movement
- medications
- previous lab work
- health goals
During in-person appointments, I may perform a physical examination tailored to your health concerns and goals. This may include measuring your blood pressure and heart rate, a Traditional Chinese Medicine tongue and pulse assessment, and other focused examinations, such as an abdominal assessment or other system-specific evaluations when clinically appropriate.
Lasting health requires understanding the person, not just the diagnosis.
I Combine Natural Medicine with Modern Medicine
My recommendations may include:
✓ Nutrition counselling
✓ Lifestyle medicine
✓ Exercise guidance
✓ Sleep optimization
✓ Stress management
✓ Nervous system regulation
✓ Evidence-informed supplements
✓ Herbal medicine
✓ Laboratory testing
✓ Body-identical hormone therapy (when appropriate)
✓ Acupuncture
✓ B12 Injections
✓ HeartMath® Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback to strengthen resilience, improve focus, and support nervous system health
✓ Digital wellness strategies to reduce screen-related stress and improve focus, sleep, and nervous system health
I don’t believe every patient needs every treatment.
Instead, your care is individualized based on your symptoms, medical history, goals, and the best available evidence.
Education Is Treatment
One of the things patients tell me most often is:
“No one has ever explained it to me like that.”
Understanding why you’re experiencing symptoms helps you make confident decisions about your health.
I believe patients deserve clear explanations, not confusing medical jargon or endless supplement recommendations.
My Philosophy
I don’t chase symptoms.
I recognize that many modern health challenges are influenced not only by nutrition and hormones, but by how we live. Sleep habits, chronic stress, time in nature, movement, social connection, and our relationship with technology all play an important role in health.
I ask questions like:
- Why has your sleep changed?
- What’s contributing to your anxiety?
- Could hormone changes be affecting your metabolism?
- How are stress and nervous system health influencing your symptoms?
Rather than simply masking symptoms, we work together to identify what’s driving them and create realistic, sustainable solutions.
My Areas of Focus
Rather than trying to treat every possible condition, my practice focuses primarily on helping women navigate:
- Perimenopause & menopause
- Hormone therapy
- Sleep
- Stress & burnout
- Metabolic health
- Cardiovascular health
- Skin health
- Immune Health
- Digestive health
- Healthy aging
