Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is a great way to integrate cosmetic self-care with deep health enhancing treatments to achieve lasting results that support the body inside and out.

🪷 Facial Acupuncture with a Naturopathic Doctor 🌿

Naturopathic medicine lays the groundwork for internal health, while facial acupuncture relaxes the nervous system, eases stress and tension, and promotes improved circulation to the face, offering the smoothing of lines as well as an overall lifting and brightening effect. It is a wonderfully effective treatment that brings together traditional and modern approaches to holistic health.

Is it Perimenopause?
This question comes up A LOT. Changes in perimenopause can vary & may not be as obvious as hot flashes. Brain fog, joint pain, insulin resistance, weight changes, increased anxiety or insomnia can all show up. Changes to vaginal and urinary health, and even immune changes can show up around this time as well. And even trickier – any and all of these changes could be caused by something else. There’s often overlap where cause is concerned, and how we experience perimenopause will be impacted hugely by our general state of health.
So, if it seems like something is slightly off, different or definitely out of whack – talk to your ND. Together, we can figure out what’s going on, and figure out how to make this major life transition as smooth as possible. And if it’s not perimenopause, we can figure out what the heck else is going on!
We don’t have to accept every unpleasant change in our health status as an inevitability. The power is in your hands!

This November I was challenged to move out of my comfort zone, and change the way I interact with colleagues in my profession.
The Ontario association of Naturopathic Doctors asked me to speak on a panel at their annual conference. The panel “Do No Harm: Unpacking Unconscious Bias and Inequity in Clinical Encounters” intended to open a conversation in our ND community by way of storytelling.
I was asked to share my experience on stage in front of a group of my peers. My very real hesitation about participating encouraged me to unpack the ways that I’ve kept quiet about the parts of my identity that are likely to cause friction – in society generally, as well as among my peers.

New Blog Post: How do I know if it’s perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the window of time where the body gradually undergoes the transition to menopause, or the end of the menstrual cycle. Reproductive hormone levels will fluctuate as they work towards an overall decline in production.

Ovulation may begin to happen less frequently, menstrual cycles can become shorter at first, then become longer and somewhat unpredictable in terms of timing and flow. Other changes may include hot flashes, night sweats, changes in libido or vaginal dryness, mood changes (including mood swings, increased anxiety and/or depression), trouble with sleep, headaches or changes in ability to focus. 

Contrary to what you may have heard, there’s a lot we can do to smooth out this transition. Hormonal Replacement Therapy is just one option among many other natural and hormone free supports available. Check out my blog post for more (link in bio).

Walk confidently into menopause knowing that your s*x life need not suffer - there are supports available to help maintain the health and hydration of vaginal tissue, and to support a robust libido after menopause.

It's been a big year for me with a new addition to my family and navigating the balance of returning to work. As life and my practice continue to shift, I’m looking forward with hope, excitement, wonder and just a sprinkle of trepidation to all that the future holds.

Re-connecting with community, reaching out to new people and spaces, and learning – always sooo much learning!

What are you looking forward to?

I’m delighted to announce my to return to Urban Wellness!

It’s been a big year for me with a new addition to my family and navigating the balance of returning to work. I always strive to walk my talk, so figuring out how to do the work I love while making space for family life has been a key part of re-building my schedule this year.

Starting May 15, I will offer virtual and in-person visits Wednesdays 9am-2pm. Hours may expand as the need and ability arises. If you are looking to book and can’t find a time that works, I invite you to add yourself to the waitlist. This helps me to know who is looking for support, and I can do my best to accommodate.

I look forward to seeing you in the Urban Wellness space again!

Urban Wellness is a multidisciplinary clinic in the heart of Toronto. Located on College at Bathurst, this beautiful and unique urban oasis features a delightful assortment of skilled practitioners present to support you (they’re also a joy to work with!).

The misery of PMS is avoidable! We are not irrational, unreliable, or hysterical by virtue of our monthly cycle. PMS doesn’t have to be something to dread. It doesn’t have to feel like we’re out of control. If you feel a stark dip in your mental health 1-2 weeks (or even a few days) before your period, we can support you. If you get intense headaches, bloating, cramps, impossible to satisfy cravings, we can support you. If you get notable digestive changes before and during your period, we can support you.

PMS doesn’t have to ruin your month. We can help.

PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) are very real, and treatments to improve or eliminate your symptoms are available.

There are a variety of factors that contribute to the appearance or aggravation of symptoms around your period. We take these factors into account to target your needs and come up with an effective treatment plan to get you feeling well throughout the month.

Reach out to learn more or book a free meet & greet to chat with us directly.
