Every day before I leave for work, my daughter and son give me (and my husband) a toy to take with me. 🧸

Some days it’s a tiny dinosaur, sometimes a princess, sometimes a random little figurine that rides in my pocket all day.

She always says, “So you won’t forget me.”
Of course I could never forget her — but I bring it anyway, and it sits on my desk while I see patients.

To her, that toy is more than a toy. It’s connection. It’s comfort. It’s her way of staying close to mom while we’re apart.

Little rituals like this are actually powerful for child development. They help children build secure attachment, learn that goodbyes are safe, and feel confident exploring the world knowing their parent is still connected to them.

What seems small to us is huge to them.

So yes… my office has a growing collection of tiny toys.

And honestly, they might be the most important things on my desk. ❤️

As an NP (and a mom who’s been there), I see a lot of worried parents when ear infections pop up. The good news? 📰

Many ear infections in children are viral, which means the body can often clear them on its own with time, rest, fluids, and pain control.

Not every ear infection needs an antibiotic, sometimes the best medicine is comfort, patience, and a lot of cuddles.

🥰

If your little one has ear pain, fever, or seems extra fussy, it’s always okay to get them checked. Your momma or daddy instincts matter.

Tiny humans are tough. The immune system is learning every day 💪🏾

🤗

(In all seriousness don’t let your child use a hot glue gun to their ear. She just got over her own ear infection and thought the glue gun looked like the otoscope from her own doctor visit 😂).

Children don’t learn best from pressure.
They learn through play. Through mess. Through connection.
Painting faces. Giggles. Imagination.
This is brain development. This is regulation. This is growth.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I’m passionate about supporting children not just when something is “wrong,” but in their everyday wellness — development, behavior, emotions, and thriving.
Play isn’t extra. It’s essential. 🤍
If you’re wondering about your child’s development or just want a supportive wellness check-in, I’d love to help.

Attention community: the government is trying to remove primary care practices who practice privately and have people attached to “Ontario Health Teams”. This could have implications for private practices like me. Many people come to me because my hours are off regular hours or other reasons they choose not to share (I also don’t ask bc it doesn’t really matter, you choose with your money).

I’m asking you to come on Monday September 29 at 5:30-7:30 at St Thomas Seniors Centre to have your voice why you choose private practice or how closing private practices across Ontario impairs your access to care. Many people I serve late at night and I know I’ve saved the emergency room or urgent care.

I don’t want ohip because I prefer the long visit times (ie 1/2h to 1h to Home visits when patients just deliver a baby, to the dying parent I’m able to come to your house, or the person in a mental health crisis and an MD calls me to go do a house call…)

This would cease and negatively impacts people).

Please come join me. Please use your voice. This matters.

Tired of relying on coffee for energy? ☕️➡️🥗

Your nutrition plays a huge role in how energized you feel throughout the day.
✨ Salmon → rich in omega-3s to fight fatigue
✨ Spinach → high in iron to support oxygen flow
✨ Oats → steady release of energy without the crash

As a Nurse Practitioner, I don’t just treat symptoms—I help you fuel your body to prevent the crashes🌿

👉 Want a personalized nutrition plan? Let’s talk.

I also refer to for people who wish for personal training and ask for Doug.

We can work together to make sure exercise and nutrition can be done safely and fit your goals.

Here’s Jaxx, teaching our little one how nutrition works in the body so he can teach all his friends at school. Thanks Skully for being such a wonderful patient 😂

Meet the heart and smile behind our clinic.

Julia earned her BScN in 2010 and completed her Primary Healthcare Nurse Practitioner program at Western University in 2018. She also holds a Diploma in Tropical Nursing (HIV, malaria, tuberculosis) from Liverpool, UK (2017) and now holds another diploma in holistic nutrition, focusing on the root causes of disease.

Her nursing career began in paediatrics, followed by nearly a decade on a trauma unit. It wasn’t until her husband hit a deer and became a patient on that same trauma unit that changed the trajectory of her career.

As a nurse practitioner in primary care, she supports clients managing conditions such as hepatitis C, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity, while bringing her passion for nutrition, fitness, and overall well-being into her practice.

Julia founded a Hint of Health Inc in May 2019! It’s been over 6 years on our journey. With serving over 4000 patients in the last six years, We’re growing everyday and we’re so happy to be apart of this community!
