Natural medicine has always been more than a profession for me—it is a way of life and a guiding philosophy. I live each day in alignment with nature and the body’s innate healing ability, nourishing my body with wholesome foods, moving and resting in ways that restore balance, and engaging in practices in nature that sustain vitality. Family has always been central to my life, and I have raised my boys completely naturally, instilling the same values of health, balance, and respect for the body that guide my own life. I believe that cultivating strong family connections, nurturing wellbeing from a young age, and living intentionally in harmony with nature are essential foundations for a fulfilling life. This lifestyle and philosophy inform everything I do, allowing me to live authentically and share the principles of natural, sustainable, and holistic health with others from a place of personal experience, deep understanding, and genuine care.

I believe that the body has an innate ability to heal when it is given the right nutritional support. Thoughtful, intentional nutrition works in harmony with the body, influencing every system and addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than simply masking symptoms. When we eat with awareness—choosing foods that genuinely nourish us—we create the conditions for vitality, resilience, and long-term health. True healing begins with understanding how deeply connected we are to what we consume. Through personalised nutrition, food becomes more than fuel; it becomes a powerful foundation for balance, strength, and overall wellbeing.

I bring a warm-hearted, compassionate approach to healing, grounded in a strong clinical foundation. My training includes in-depth study of traditional sciences such as chemistry and biology, providing me with a thorough understanding of how the body functions and responds to care. While clinically informed, my work is always person-centred. I believe healing is most effective when care is personalised—not only in the remedies and recommendations provided, but also in the way we communicate. I take the time to listen, ensuring you feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported throughout your journey. This approach allows for a therapeutic experience that is both evidence-informed and deeply human.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, naturopathy can be safely used alongside allopathic or conventional medicine when carefully tailored. As an experienced practitioner, I adjust natural treatments to complement prescribed medications, working with the body to support healing and alleviate potential side effects of pharmaceutical drugs. By coordinating therapies, we aim to enhance treatment effectiveness while ensuring that natural remedies do not interfere with your conventional care. Open communication with all your healthcare providers is essential to achieve the best outcomes.
-
Identifying the root cause starts with a thorough consultation, where I review your medical history, lifestyle, diet, stress levels, sleep patterns, and other relevant factors. When necessary, I may also use functional testing, including blood work and other lab analyses, to gain a deeper understanding of your body’s internal balance. This combination allows me to uncover nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, inflammation, or other underlying contributors. Using this information, I create a personalized naturopathic plan that addresses the root cause, supports natural healing, and goes beyond simply managing symptoms.
-
Your body is intuitive and sends symptoms to communicate underlying imbalances. Naturopathy works with the body, supporting its natural healing processes through nutrition, lifestyle guidance, herbal medicine, and other therapies. By listening to the body’s signals and addressing root causes, we can restore balance and promote long-term wellness.
-
Everything you consume—food, drinks, and even what you apply to your skin—contributes to building your cells and forming the foundation of your health. Proper nutrition supports energy, immunity, hormone balance, and natural healing. Using food as medicine is a key way to nourish the body and prevent disease.
-
Naturopathic care supports your body’s natural ability to heal while addressing the root causes of your symptoms. I work alongside you to achieve the best results, helping you understand your body and interpret the messages it’s sending. Your body is highly intelligent—symptoms are not a nuisance, but signals pointing to underlying issues. Healing is a holistic journey: every part of the body is interconnected, from emotions and thoughts to hormones, chemistry, past injuries, and current illnesses. Every small action we take together brings you closer to greater health, helping you find the balance your body seeks. Through personalized guidance in lifestyle, nutrition, herbal medicine, and stress management, we aim to reduce symptom burden, restore harmony, and empower you to take charge of your health journey.
