Naturopathic doctors in Ontario are licensed and regulated health professionals with a minimum of 7 years of post secondary education.  This includes an undergraduate degree and 4 years at an accredited naturopathic institution. 

To receive additional adjunctive naturopathic cancer care training, I also completed an additional 2 year naturopathic residency.

As a naturopathic doctor, I help provide dietary, nutritional, lifestyle, herbal and supplement recommendations. 

Supplement recommendations include type/brand, timing, dose and careful consideration of possible interactions with other medications or supplements. 

Personalized recommendations for my patients are always based on their individual needs and through assessments of bloodwork, reports, symptoms, and more!

Tailored recommendations can be made to support you during and after treatments and to help address the underlying root cause of your health concerns.

For certain patients who need and request it, I'm able to requisition for necessary bloodwork (not covered under OHIP).  This has been especially beneficial for my patients who don't have a family doctor OR are unable to get bloodwork done otherwise.

Please note:

Naturopathic Services are only available for those in Ontario, Canada.

However, our masterclasses, 12 week FTM recovery and prevention program and Femme Thrivers membership group are available for anyone worldwide.

If you're looking to take empowered action for your health and feel supported - I got you!

While a major part of practice is focused on supporting cancer survivors both during and after treatments...

I also have many patients who are focused on primary prevention (ie. they may have a family history of cancer, osteoporosis or heart disease), or have other health concerns (hormone health, digestive health, headaches, sleep issues, weight gain, etc).

So you should see me if you are looking to:

• support your body during cancer treatments with proper nutrition, lifestyle changes and more!
• reset your health after cancer treatments and lower your risks for recurrence
• support your body if you're on hormone therapy treatments like tamoxifen, letrozole, etc to help decrease side effects and improve how they work
• rebuild fundamentals for your health (ie lifestyle, diet, etc) because you need to reset and refocus
• get to your ideal weight goal
• decrease the need for medications through utilizing natural strategies and lifestyle changes
• avoid adding unnecessary medications and added side effects
• focus on natural strategies and a clear plan for your health concern
• streamline the supplements you take (what's necessary, what's not, timing, combinations, etc)
• and more!

Your health journey should be in partnership! 

So your consult is all about taking time together to discuss who you are, your past medical history, current medical history/goals and what realistic actions you can take that can help you achieve your health goals.  

At the end we come up with a personalized protocol together outlining diet, lifestyle, exercise, supplement recommendations that are written in detail and sent to you!

This can also include Recipe booklets or other resources to help you!

This is how it normally goes:

• Book your consult
• Fill out the Questionnaire
• Send any reports at least 24 hours in advance

When you book your first consult you'll be given access to a questionnaire to fill out in advance.

This helps give me some important information and most important your consent to act as your Naturopathic Doctor!

If you have any bloodwork, scan results or other reports please send them to me at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment. 

This allows me to take a look and helps me understand the areas we may need to focus on. 

Depending on how much you have this may take 1 or more hours to review so the earlier you can send them the better.

Yes - naturopathic consults and certain tests/bloodwork can be covered by most benefits.

Certain health benefits have also covered some or all of the costs for our 12 week Femme Thrive Method Recovery and Prevention program!

Please check your benefits to see how much and which services are covered as they can differ.

Bills for services are processed through the card you provide on file.

For consults this is done at the end of the consult. 

For our masterclasses this happens when you register and monthly if you are signed up for our 12 week FTM program or Femme Thrivers membership. 

The receipt is automatically emailed to you for your convenience and for submission to your extended health benefits company.
