What an exciting day in women’s health!

PCOS is officially being renamed PMOS — Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome — and honestly… it’s about time. 👏

For years I’ve been explaining to patients that this is not just an ovarian condition. Blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, inflammation, stress physiology, sleep, nourishment, movement, gut health and nervous system balance all matter when it comes to restoring healthy ovulation and cycles.

Now the name is finally catching up to what many of us in Naturopathic Medicine have been seeing clinically for decades.

While the conventional approach is still often focused on pharmaceuticals to override symptoms, there is so much more we can do to support the body toward true ovarian and metabolic balance.

AND bonus happiness for the day… a local midwifery collective knowingly caught a breech baby safely at HOME. 🤍

Absolute respect for skilled, informed, collaborative maternity care and women having supported choices in birth. You can bet I’ll be connecting expectant mamas planning home births with this amazing team. ✨

As a Naturopathic Doctor, holistic gynecology means looking beyond “everything is normal” and asking deeper questions:

✨ Why are the symptoms happening?
✨ What is your body asking for?
✨ How can we support healing, not just suppress symptoms?

Whether you are navigating:

🌺painful or heavy periods
🌺PMS or PMDD
🌺irregular cycles
🌺fertility concerns
🌺postpartum recovery
🌺perimenopause
🌺burnout and hormone imbalance
🌺pelvic pain or recurrent infections

…your care deserves time, investigation, compassion and individualized support.

Through comprehensive assessment, lab interpretation, nutrition, lifestyle medicine, evidence-informed supplements and pelvic health support, my goal is to help women better understand and reconnect with their bodies — not fear them.

Your symptoms are communication, not inconvenience. 🌿

The perfect trifecta for the expectant or newly postpartum mama ✨

♥️Supplemental beef organs — a deeply nourishing, whole-food source of iron, B vitamins, choline and minerals when quality and sourcing matter. A simple way to support the increased nutritional demands of pregnancy, recovery and breastfeeding.
📖A copy of The Fourth Trimester or 'What to Expect When you are Done Expecting" (because once baby arrives, you still matter too 🤍)
👶A really good clean and locally made baby bum cream — because tiny humans can humble even the most prepared parents at 2am. (Pssttt! I sell these in the clinic so snag one at the end of your next appointment)

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum are not just medical events. They are a complete transformation of body, mind, identity and nervous system. Having support that blends evidence-based care with lived experience can make all the difference.

As a naturopathic doctor, mama, and someone who deeply understands the messy, beautiful reality of this season, I support families through:
🌱fertility preparation
🌱pregnancy care
🌱 postpartum recovery
🌱 breastfeeding support
🌱infant & pediatric care
🌱 pelvic floor and whole-body healing

Find me @ OM in to be part of your village through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond 🤍

🌱Twenty years ago I said “yes” to a calling I barely understood at the time.

Since then, this profession has asked everything of me. I have learned, unlearned, and relearned who I am, what I’m capable of, what drives me, and why I was called to Naturopathic Medicine in the first place.

🌸Those 4 years at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine were grueling. The classes, exams, licensing boards, financial stress, personal hardships… every limit I had was tested. But through it all, I had my classmates.

🍃There is something indescribable about walking alongside people through the process of becoming healers. The bonds formed in those years are hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t lived it. We were exhausted together, challenged together, celebrated together — and in many ways, forever linked because of it.

🌱To still be here 20 years later, in a profession this demanding and this small, with the same passion I had when I began… feels nothing short of incredible.

🌸And the fact that so many of my classmates are still in clinical practice is equally inspiring.

🍃The last 48 hours spent with this crew I first met 24 years ago filled my cup in ways I didn’t realize I needed. It was restful, joyful, inspiring, healing, and grounding all at once.

Sometimes the people who remind you who you are… are the ones who knew you before you fully became yourself. 🤍

Thank you CCNM Class of 2006.

No Excuses Breakfast, Lunch on the Go, or snack-a-roo Overnight Oats.

The PB powder is currently my son's favourite flavour as he works his way through the variety of flavours I ordered.

The most difficult part of the process is remembering to prepare it the night before 🙄

How beloved are Overnight Oats in your home?

I can recommend supplements and interpret lab work all day long… but I’ve also been pregnant, sleep deprived, postpartum, overwhelmed, healing, touched out, anxious, grateful, and deeply humbled by motherhood. 🤍

I’ve walked through pregnancy loss. I’ve navigated the uncertainty, the fear, the hope, the recovery. And I’ve also experienced pregnancy, birth, postpartum healing, and the “why am I crying while reheating my food for the third time?” phase. ☕️

So when you sit in my office in Waterdown at OM Integrative Healthcare , you’re getting an experienced naturopathic doctor — but also someone who truly gets it.

🌱Not from a textbook.
🌱Not from a webinar.
🌱From lived experience.

The physical, emotional, hormonal, and identity shifts of motherhood are real. You deserve support from someone who understands both the clinical side and the human side of the seasons. 🌿

Whether you’re trying to conceive, newly pregnant, postpartum, or simply trying to feel like yourself again — I’m here for it all.

Book your appointment online or pick up the phone to book your new patient or "I'm been meaning to get come back' appointment.
