Nestled in the charming town of Antigonish, I opened my naturopathic practice in 2023 after making the cross-country move back home to beautiful Nova Scotia. I love living and practicing in this cozy small university town, surrounded by friendly faces and the ocean. My approach to health is grounded in evidence-based care with an expertise in natural medicine (nutrition, lifestyle medicine, acupuncture, botanicals, etc).
What is Naturopathic Medicine?
Naturopathic medicine combines the wisdom of traditional healing practices with the latest scientific research, focusing on treating the root cause of health issues rather than just the symptoms. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am a primary care provider who is trained to analyze and interpret bloodwork, diagnose and treat many health conditions, and work collaboratively with your other healthcare providers. Naturopathic Doctors are experts in preventative and natural medicine, and our appointments are designed to allow your concerns to be fully understood so that an evidence-based holistic treatment plan can be made.
Areas of Focus
I am wildly passionate about all things women's health and hormones, fertility, skin, and digestion. Of course, practicing in a rural community means that I see many conditions beyond those mentioned above. Women deserve better care when it comes to their health - with too many of their symptoms being dismissed even though they can greatly affect their quality of life. You deserve to have effortless periods, clear skin, and a more manageable perimenopausal transition if these things are important to you.

Botanical Medicine: Prescribing botanicals to support digestion, skin, or hormone health.
Lifestyle Counselling: Empowering patients to make positive lifestyle changes for long-term well-being (sleep, exercise, etc).
Acupuncture: Performing acupuncture to target specific concerns, such as digestion, pain, stress/anxiety, and more.
