Why I became a doctor?
From childhood, my dream was to be a pediatrician. I'd play dress-up in a tiny white coat, clutching my toy stethoscope, and even watched "A Baby Story" in my free time.
Discovering Naturopathic Medicine perfectly aligned with my desire to build meaningful patient relationships and make a lasting impact. Once I became a patient of Dr. Stewart (yes, the same doctor that owns Nourish) and saw her approach to patient care, I knew that the medical education she received was what I wanted!
My fascination with autoimmune and chronic diseases in medical school underscored the importance of prevention, fueling my passion for working with children to prevent future diseases and support healthy development from the start.
What conditions I love to treat:
PEDIATRICS
Well-Child appointments to support optimal development
Questions and concerns in infancy
Pediatric constipation & tummy troubles
Pediatric eczema
Pediatric allergies
Vaccine consults
Things you may not know about me:
I love anything that involves introspection and helping those around me understand themselves better while I do the same!
I vowed long ago that I would prioritize volunteering on a weekly basis. Today, I’m the President of a non-profit which allows me to give back and also support a board of incredible individuals in fulfilling their passions!
I love to travel and experience other cultures, food, and lifestyles. My husband and I recently visited India for a wedding!
I LOVE to cook and am actually writing a cookbook! My dream has been to go to culinary school and travel the world understanding different cuisines and how they affect health.
I’m obsessed with my garden and grow new fruits and veggies every season!
