🌙🪻FREE WORKSHOP TIME🪻🌙

Just like blood pressure & heart rate - our cycles are a vial sign. They are our body’s inner compass. And honestly I’m tired of women not having access to this wisdom.

When were you ever taught about your cycle, ovulation, your body or your ever shifting hormones?

So often we see women in their 20’s and 30’s who are disconnected from their body & their rhythm. They were never taught how to connect with it in the first place.

Dr. Sam and myself are here to change that.

Join us this Sunday Sept 7th 430pm for a cozy evening chat. Sponsored by the one and only coming in with some free swag!

🔗 Spaces are limited. Registration link in bio.

Can’t wait to see you there!

I see health a bit differently 🔎

As humans we have layers. Some are healthy. Some are slightly weaker. Some hide in fear and others shine brightly. Some layers we have been conditioned to shove down & neatly fold away.

When we want to find root cause, we need to look at the layers. What needs support? What is ready to bloom? And are we over utilizing our strengths?

Food for thought 🍎💭

Menopause was never meant to be a silent or isolating experience.
For centuries, women have marked life transitions with gathering, story, and ritual - yet somehow this one got tucked away in whispers.

Tomorrow, we’re bringing it back into the light.
A space to connect, reflect, and feel the power of this season in your life. One that embodies freedom, wisdom & strength.

✨ 2 last minute spots left✨
Join us at the Vancouver Strathcona Garden for Seasons of Her.

Menopause isn’t just about declining hormones.

It’s the next phase of life that has been lived by so many woman before us… but is rarely honoured.

We mark the start of life with birthdays.
We celebrate coming of age with graduations and throw showers to welcome a child or a marriage.

But this transition?
The one from Maiden → Mother → Wise Woman?
We treat it like a problem to solve.

So and I are here to infuse the feminine back into menopause support.

If…

💁🏼‍♀️Maiden is curiosity, discovery & the unfolding of self.
💧🪴Mother is the nourisher and protector—whether she raises children or pours her energy into projects, communities, careers. It’s the nurturing era.
👑Wise Woman is truth embodied, grounded clarity, and unapologetic alignment.

This is the season where boundaries sharpen, misalignment becomes intolerable, and your voice refuses to be softened or silenced.
It’s not just biology - it’s an initiation.

As two naturopathic doctors who work with HRT and women’s health every day, we know the science. We appreciate the science. We finally see a space in healthcare for the science.

Yet we also see the gap: the soul-level, ceremonial space that’s missing for women moving through this transition.

That’s why we’re blending science with soul.

If this resonates - grab a friend and join us next Sunday August 17th 1pm in Vancouver.

This isn’t new.
It’s what the body has been whispering all along.
But perhaps as a practitioner you were never taught how to listen 🌿

Holistic health coaches, nutritionists & naturopaths - comment Mentorship to learn how to decode hormones at the root—through mitochondria, the nervous system, and cellular truth. Doors close on June 1st.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimized by a “normal” lab result 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

You’re not broken.
You’re not crazy.
Perhaps what you’re actually seeking is an alternative model of care.

In my practice, we do things differently.
We decode your labs with you.
We listen to your lived experience.
We walk through your health story — marker by marker, chapter by chapter.
We honour what your body has been trying to say all along.

Because my version of health doesn’t stop at “normal” - It starts with you.

Have you ever typed “best supplements for eczema” into Google?

Yeah… me too.

Before I became a Naturopathic Doctor, that’s what I thought holistic health was all about. Swap prescriptions for something “natural” and call it a day.

But here’s the truth:
Eczema at its roots isn’t just a skin issue.
It can be a gut issue.
An immune system imbalance.
A signal from the nervous system.
A detox and histamine overload.

And while supplements can support the journey, they’re not the solution if we don’t first ask the right question:

✨Why is the skin reacting in the first place? ✨

If you’re tired of guessing and ready to dig deeper, I’d love to walk that path with you.

You won’t believe where mold might be hiding in your home 🧐

From your attic to your coffee, mold can be in the most unexpected places.

When I ask my patients who might be struggling with if they have been exposed to mold, the number one thing I hear is “well, I haven’t seen any”.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you don’t have to see it to be exposed 😱

Spores can be found in dry wall, the window sill, inside wood structures, in old antique furniture, HVAC systems & even some food!

Follow along for some more tips this month!
