I am a naturopathic doctor, passionate on health and wellbeing. My goal as your naturopathic doctor is to help you feel your best so that you can go out and live life to the fullest. To do so, we will work together on your health in a holistic manner and examine all the factors contributing (or not contributing!) to your health. My practice in downtown Hamilton is a general family practice. I work with a diverse range of concerns with people of all ages and frequently treat mood, anxiety, digestion, chronic pain and women's and men's health concerns. I will give you an individualized treatment plan that will help restore your body to it's most optimal state, using tools such as nutrition, supplements, herbs and teas, acupuncture, homeopathy, and stress reduction techniques. My education as a naturopathic doctor included 4 rigorous years of study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario during which I also completed additional training in homeopathy in India. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biological Science at the University of Guelph. During my studies at Guelph, I took numerous courses on physiology and nutrition which then led me to naturopathic medicine. Throughout my high school and post-secondary education, I worked as a lifeguard and leadership instructor and have been dedicated to promoting water safety education, teaching swimming skills, as well as training others in first aid and lifesaving techniques. I still teach the odd course from time to time and can otherwise be found globetrotting, hiking, and finding new ways to engage others in their health.
