Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a health care discipline that believes your body has the ability to maintain a normal healthy state. By making gentle corrective adjustments, chiropractic works in harmony with your body's already existing tendency toward good health.


Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.


Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is a comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. Focusing on prevention and using natural substances and treatments, Naturopathic doctors support and stimulate the body's ability to heal itself.


Osteopathy

Osteopathic manual therapy encompasses a holistic philosophy to health and well-being. Interventions and techniques take the entire person into account intending to allow the body the freedom to express itself through functional, efficient, pain-free movement.

After completing a 4 year Bachelor degree in Health Sciences at Western University, I went on to attend the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto. Since then, I have obtained my prescribing license, allowing me to prescribe Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and dive into my focus area of women’s hormones and menopause.

My goal as an ND is to always listen first, and work together to provide you the skills, knowledge, and evidence to make the health choices that work best for you. I use clinical diagnosis and laboratory testing to determine your complete health history in order to address all factors contributing to illness. In treatment, I use a combination of acupuncture, herbs, supplements, as well as lifestyle and dietary counseling uniquely prescribed for each persons needs. I maintain a general practice treating the whole family, with a focus in women’s health and hormones, from fertility to menopause.
