Why I became a doctor?
Many factors played a role in my becoming a naturopathic doctor. When I was in my late teens, I fell severely ill and experienced the power of integrative/holistic healing first hand. This started my love affair with alternative ways of healing and with the magic that is the human body. Also, I found throughout my life that I was happiest when I was educating/teaching people and when I was doing something that empowered someone or helped someone be the best version of themselves. I also was kind of an academic “nerd” through my school years and really valued high academic rigor. When I found out that there was an academically rigorous, scientifically based 4-year medical program in natural medicine, it was an instantaneous “knowing” that this was what I was going to do with my life! I feel blessed to do what I do. It is an extremely stimulating and dynamic profession and it brings me so much joy to be able to play a part in my patient’s wellness!
What conditions I love to treat:
Gastrointestinal conditions or digestive complaints
Candidal infections
Thyroid and adrenal related disorders
Auto-Immune conditions
Fatigue
Things you may not know about me:
I love getting sweaty. I’m super active and love running, beach volleyball, yoga and dancing.
I’m currently learning how to salsa – so fun!
I’m super competitive and play both tennis and pool competitively.
I have a serious case of wanderlust and travel regularly.
My favorite trip thus far? Biking the east coast of Australia with my own two feet.
I’m on a continual mission to better myself. We all have our individual strengths and struggles, but in the end, we’re all on this journey together.
I strive to become a better version of myself each day and create a where I can shine and flow (and then? I try to help my patients do the same!)
