Catharines for 22 years. I focus on helping women balance their hormones to achieve optimal whole-body health and wellness. So many women come to me with concerns about their period every month. They feel out of control and crazy half the month, experience breast tenderness, bloating, painful cramps, night sweats, and more. Many women also experience irregular cycles, PCOS, and other types of horm
one imbalances that leave them confused and frustrated with their body. At the other end of the spectrum, as women enter their 40s, their hormones fluctuate greatly, and perimenopause and menopause symptoms start to take over, like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, low sex drive, weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, and insomnia. Most women have come to believe that all of these symptoms are an inevitable part of being a woman. I am here to tell you that they do not have to be! These symptoms are telling you that your body, and most likely your hormones, are out of balance. Once we optimize your hormone health, periods and menopause can become a completely different experience. It’s my goal to help you have smooth menstrual cycles every month and a seamless transition to menopause – to feel like yourself again. How I can Support you:
• Comprehensive Hormone Analysis: Our first consultation will involve a review of your health history along with a complete hormone assessment.
• Medical & Functional Testing: Blood testing at Life Labs or more comprehensive functional testing (saliva or urine) may be employed to further understand your hormones.
• Nutritional Therapy: Nutrition coaching and guidance is a cornerstone of my work with patients.
• Herbal Medicine & Supplements: Herbal medicine and targeted nutritional supplements may be used to support your health goals.
• Bioidentical Hormone Therapy: I have additional training in BHRT and have the ability to prescribe to my patients. When using bioidentical hormones, it is essential to frequently test hormone levels to ensure your levels are within optimal range. Knowing hormone levels allows for an individualized prescription, which will optimize symptom relief and boost quality of life for those struggling with hormone imbalance. I am here to guide you in the process of learning how your unique body works, what hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional imbalances are causing your period or menopause-related symptoms, and what your body needs to function and feel better. Through comprehensive testing, individualized care committed to supporting, and ample education, I hope to help every woman feel happy, healthy, sexy, and strong!
