Women's Health Naturopathic Doctor
Founder of the PCOS Confidence Code

I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor with a passion for empowering others to achieve optimal health and wellness. It was through my own health struggles that I discovered naturopathic medicine, and appreciated it for not applying a temporary solution to my symptoms, but rather addressing the root cause of my concerns. It is my vision to help others achieve their health goals through treating them as a whole person and catering to their unique needs. My practice has a special focus on hormonal health, PCOS, women’s health, fertility, stress management, weight management, anxiety, athletic performance, and digestive concerns. As a personal trainer, yoga teacher, and former varsity athlete I value the importance of physical activity in supporting the mind-body connection, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I often incorporate mindfulness-based practices, and personalized exercise plans into treatment plans, to effectively treat the whole individual. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have or book a complimentary 15 minute meet- and -greet to find out more about how I can help you!

Most women I see aren’t doing anything wrong when they are trying to conceive.
They’re doing everything they’ve been told, and still not getting results.

Fertility isn’t about trying harder or just reducing your stress.
It’s about understanding what your body actually needs.
If you’ve been trying for months (or years), you deserve more than “just keep going.”

You deserve investigation, you deserve a plan.
And you deserve a path forward 🤍

You can’t want growth and change for yourself while allowing habits (and people) that are holding you back, to continue to have a seat at your table.

It’s okay to simplify.
It’s okay to delegate (even if it means it’s not done as “good as you would do it”).
It’s okay to protect your energy, and be very careful about who and what you give your energy to.

Growth in your health or work doesn’t always mean doing more, it often means doing less. Doing less so you can focus on what lights you up and actually deserves your attention. 🤍🤍🤍

What needs to go in your world so you can make room for what actually matters?

PCOS mainly impacts our fertility because we ovulate less, and have more insulin resistance.

There are lots of things you implement in your day to day routine to reduce insulin resistance and promote more regular ovulation. Some of these things include:
•Strength training to build muscle
•HIIT or increasing steps to improve metabolic health
•Eating a Mediterranean diet
•Eating enough fibre + protein
•Exploring supplements like: Inositol, NAC, and Vit D (not med advice, talk to a practitioner)
•Optimizing your sleep quality
•Mindfulness based practices to reduce stress
•getting labs done to assess for other factors that might be barriers to fertility (ie- measuring your insulin resistance, thyroid, Vit D levels)

You hold more power that you’ve been led to believe, you just need the right assessment and plan, I got you 🤍

These stories used to just make me sad, now they make me sad, and fuel my fire.

They fuel my fire to relentlessly advocate for all women diagnosed with PCOS to access comprehensive care, assessment, trusted information, and unwavering support to conquer their symptoms.

If any of these sound familiar…
Firstly, I’m so sorry this has been your experience.
Second, I want to you to know… you’re in the right place. I got you 🤍

The pill CAN be a great option for PCOS to support regular periods, reduce acne, and reduce unwanted hair growth. (It’s also great for actual birth control if you need that)

But... if you’re wanting to improve your mood, energy, and body composition.... the pill alone isn’t the solution.

PCOS is more than just missed periods, it’s also about insulin resistance which cannot be solved with the pill. Insulin resistance can be supported with:
✅ strength training
✅ increasing our step count
✅ a Mediterranean diet with enough fibre and protein
✅ optimizing sleep
✅ reducing our response to stress

None of these things come in a pill. It has to be YOU that’s ready to tackle them head on. With the right plan and support, you could make a substantial impact in how you experience PCOS by tackling these lifestyle pieces.

The pill is only one tiny piece of the puzzle, the rest of your PCOS journey lies with you.

The choice is yours 🤍

Everyone picks on coffee for “increasing your cortisol” but no one talks about the harms of taking away someone’s little cup of joy and motivation to get out of bed.

The research on coffee and cortisol (which is slim by the way) shows that if you’re a habitual drinker it doesn’t actually increase your cortisol after your morning cup, but it might after your afternoon cup.

But do we care? We don’t know. We don’t actually understand if a 2-3 hour increase in cortisol is harmful and causes all the proclaimed outcomes, or if cortisol is just a marker and modulator of stress and it’s the stress that worsens health outcomes. TLDR: we can’t blame cortisol spikes or coffee for everyone the “health influencers” proclaim we can.

In habitual coffee drinkers, we also see:
✅reduced type 2 diabetes risk
✅ reduced cardiovascular events
✅ reduced all cause mortality
✅ reduced incidence of fatty liver

Potential harms
🚫 miscarriage risk when consumed > 200mg in pregnancy
🚫fracture risk (probably from decreased nutrient absorption when consumed in high amounts)
🚫 may impact sleep or worsening anxiety in some. We should probably avoid it after noon to protect our sleep

I admit my bias for my little cup of joy— but based on what we currently understand, no one is talking it away from me and I’m definitely not taking it away from my patients 🤍
