Naturopathic doctor, lifestyle medicine strategist, fertility expert, author, and podcaster.
I’ve been a practicing naturopathic doctor for over 15 years, and every day I help women get in tune with their bodies, naturally. Whether you want to balance your hormones, get pregnant, lose weight, feel energized, sleep better, or simply take stock of your unique body and how it can thrive, I’m here to help.
Every step of my career has guided me towards supporting the health and wellness needs of women, in-person and online. I’m a First Line Therapy Certified TM Weight Loss Practitioner which I have modified overtime to include intermittent fasting and hormone support getting even better weight loss results. I’m a former trainer and fitness instructor. I’ve spent over 1000 hours as a lactation specialist. I’m a former labour doula who can coach you towards a positive birthing experience. I’m certified to prescribe bio-identical hormones, including thyroid, estrogen, and progesterone—if and when you need them. I am trained to perform clinical breast examinations, vaginal swabs and PAP examinations, a skill naturopathic doctors are certified to do.
I’m so grateful to my mother, who introduced my siblings and I to alternative therapies ever since we were young. She found precious time in her single mom life to bring us to our naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, and massage therapist to support our best health. By example, she showed me how empowering it is to nurture my body with a healthy lifestyle and complementary medicine, and today I love sharing this experience with my children.
I seek to complement traditional medicine with services you can’t always find at a doctor’s office. I’ll add wellness strategies such as herbal medicine and nutritional supplements, specific to your needs. We will also explore better sleep, fitness and mindful habits to help achieve a healthy mindset. And most of all, I encourage you to tell your doctor and other healthcare practitioners about our work together because I believe a holistic approach is the best approach.
My two children are truly miracles. One was conceived naturally, and one was conceived with the help of IVF. But first, I had to overcome PCOS, endometriosis, multiple miscarriages, including a twin pregnancy loss…among so many more challenges that I don’t have room to list here. If you’re struggling to conceive, I’d love to meet you and share my hope and empathy because I know how it feels to dream about mamahood. I’ll help you debunk the junk and confusion often found on Google, and instead discover a feritlity journey that’s just right for you.
That’s why I created My Fertology with my friend and colleague, Mary Wong, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Together, we broadcast a podcast for women seeking fertility support. We know your journey is special, and whether you’re planning a family, having a baby, or in the happy chaos of being a mom, we’ve got news, views, and advice to share.
