Whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place!
You do not need to DIY your own health – you need to be working with a qualified and regulated healthcare provider. Are you ready to feel like your optimal self?
Naturopathic care is available both in person(Toronto) and online (for any resident of Ontario). Virtual care is delivered via secure video or phone.
Beginning with assessments and testing, we then use those results to guide a treatment strategy as we work through my signature Cornerstone Method to optimize your health.
When it comes to treatments, you have options! We will work together to choose whether nutrition, lifestyle, botanical medicines, supplements, hormone replacement therapy, homeopathy, acupuncture, or some combination of these feels most aligned with YOU.
My job as your naturopathic doctor is to ask the right questions, thoroughly investigate with the right tests, collaborate with other healthcare team members, and understand all aspects of your health to develop a custom care plan for you.
The appointment includes a full assessment of chief concerns, complete health history and in-depth questioning around the 6 cornerstones of health. We will discuss my professional opinion on the links between your symptoms and the possible root causes of your concerns. We will review testing options and how we will track your progress when treatment is started.
This appointment takes place 2-4 weeks after your initial appointment. It is just as important as the first visit as we lay the roadmap to your success.
The appointment includes reviewing of your Strategic Plan and an in-depth review of any testing results.
The appointment includes discussing additional treatment options, problem-solving any roadblocks, following up on symptoms and concerns and addressing any new questions.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture works by moving qi, or energy, within the body. By unblocking stuck qi and helping it flow better, we increase our body’s natural ability to heal. Research has shown acupuncture locally increases blood flow, decreases inflammation and pain signals in the body and has been shown to benefit a wide variety of acute and chronic concerns!
Includes a detailed intake, TCM tongue and pulse diagnosis and your first treatment.
Includes a short follow up and your acupuncture treatment. My general recommendations are 1x week for 4 weeks to start for optimal benefit. Your unique treatment schedule will be discussed at your initial and each follow up.
Acupuncture for stress: 60 min appointment including guided meditation, bodywork and an acupuncture treatment focused on regulating the nervous system and calming the mind.
Facial rejuvenation acupuncture: Acupuncture can be used to address collagen production, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, strengthen facial muscles and improve skin tone and brightness.
Pregnancy labour prep and induction: Acupuncture has been shown to prepare the cervix and uterus for labour, shorten labour length and decrease the need for additional interventions. Ideally, treatments begin around weeks 36-38 and continue weekly until your due date. After this, treatments can be done every few days until baby comes!
IVF preparation: Acupuncture has been shown to increase the chance of a successful IVF cycle. Ideally, treatments are weekly until and on the day of your transfer.
