As a mother of 3 and someone who herself struggled with fertility and pregnancy concerns, I’m passionate in working with women in all stages of life to support women’s health and paediatric care as I understand the challenges that come with everything from trying to start a family to trying to manage one.

Some of the health concerns I work with include:

• Hormone Support (Thyroid conditions, Diabetes, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, heavy and painful periods, amenorrhea, peri-menopause and menopause - including HRT prescribing)
• Fertility Support (premature ovarian insufficiency, natural conception, IUI/IVF support, reoccurring pregnancy loss, antiphospholipid syndrome)
• Pregnancy Support (nausea, fatigue, iron deficiency, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, miscarriage, medical terminations, GBS+, UTI, labour prep)
• Postpartum Care (formula support, breastfeeding support, post partum anxiety and depression, mastitis, adrenal support)
• Pediatric Care (newborn wellness check, tongue and lip tie assessment, latch support, formula support, eczema, colic, constipation, FPIES, Food introduction, congenital anomoly support)
• Skin Health (acne, eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, ringworm, psoriasis, dandruff, urticaria)
• Gut Health (celiac, IBS, IBD, SIBO, fatty liver, parasites, chronic constipation)
• Mental Health (anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, learning difficulties and genetic disorders, disordered eating)
• Cardiovascular disease (congenital heart defects, arrhythmias, post MI support, high cholesterol and diabetes)

A specific interest in cardiology also holds deep in my heart to help support families affected by congenital heart defects as one of my sons was also born with a severe heart defect and required 3 surgeries within his first years of life.

In addition to private preactice, I’m also part of the clinic faculty at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and volunteer with the North Shore Women’s Centre and Vancouver Women’s Health Collective
