Why I became a doctor?
From an early age, I’ve been fascinated by the human body—how small, intentional changes can spark profound healing and transformation. When I discovered naturopathic medicine, it felt like the perfect synergy of science and nature, allowing me to address health challenges in a holistic and individualized way.
Acupuncture further deepened my understanding of the body’s innate capacity to heal itself, inspiring me to combine these modalities to help patients achieve balance and vitality. Fertility support, in particular, has become one of my greatest passions. Guiding individuals and couples on their journey to parenthood is incredibly fulfilling and one of the most meaningful aspects of my work.
What conditions I love to treat:
Fertility: Personalized support for individuals and couples trying to conceive, whether naturally or alongside assisted reproductive technologies (ART)
Digestive Health: Addressing IBS, IBD, SIBO, and leaky gut syndrome
Stress & Burnout: Restoring energy and resilience with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and IV therapies
Chronic Illness: Comprehensive care to improve quality of life and manage long-term conditions
