  Licensed Naturopathic Doctor

  I’ve been a practicing, licensed naturopathic doctor (ND) and nutritionist since 2008. In my early twenties, I was intuitively drawn to the science of food and the role that our dietary choices play in supporting our vitality, or, conversely in contributing to chronic pain, discomfort and illness. I take a “nature cure” approach to prevention and healing. My aim is to empower every one of my patients and students to understand the interconnected systems of your body and its specific needs. In this way, you learn to tune in to the signals your body is telling you. Only then can you give it what it needs to heal, to thrive.Building from a “nature cure” philosophy, I specialize in developing Tune in to Your Body plans that align to your unique genetic makeup and lifestyle. Additionally, I enjoy helping people who are struggling with allergies, gastrointestinal issues, and their relationship with food. Show less
