Services

Nutrition and lifestyle counselling

This is where I like to start. I want to help you develop healthy habits so that the changes we make together can sustain you for years to come. Diet and lifestyle changes will always be tailored to suit you and to address your specific health concerns.

Therapeutic vitamin and nutrient prescriptions

Sometimes a little extra support is required in the form of supplemental vitamins and other nutrients. All of my supplement prescriptions are evidence-based and selected with your whole health picture in mind.

Botanical medicine

Plant extracts in the form of capsules, teas, tinctures or glycerites can be a powerful addition to a well-rounded treatment plan. 

Acupuncture

As a naturopathic doctor, I am trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. As an adjunct treatment to the above modalities, regular acupuncture treatments are highly effective for the treatment of burnout, fatigue, anxiety, hormonal imbalances and digestive concerns.

Specialty lab testing

Hormone testing

Salivary or dried urine hormone testing can be used to assess cortisol levels (as well as other measures of adrenal function), as well as levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and their metabolites. These tests can be invaluable for guiding treatment for conditions such as PMS, painful periods, infertility, menopause/peri-menopause, fatigue and burnout.


Food sensitivity testing

This test measures immune response to specific food items by measuring IgG antibodies in the blood. This test can provide valuable information for those suffering from symptoms such as heartburn, gas/bloating, constipation/diarrhea, joint pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression.


In order to thoroughly understand what is going on with your health, I may also request copies of any recent lab work from your family doctor.
