My own lifelong health struggles brought me to naturopathic medicine. My mission is to cultivate wellness in my clients by providing them with the tools they need to bring themselves back to health. I enjoy working with clients with digestive complaints to lower inflammation and correct imbalances in the microbiome. I also have a special interest in autoimmunity and thyroid cancer due to my own health journey.
