My Mission:
My mission is to offer guidance in choosing the best food, nutrients, herbs, and lifestyle choices to help you and your family achieve the best health possible.
About Me:
I grew up in Vancouver and I am grateful to live, learn, work and raise my family on the unceded ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. Growing up hiking the local mountains, kayaking the west coast, and exploring the valleys, rivers and lakes of these beautiful territories inspired my passion for natural health and wellness.
I am a registered Naturopathic Doctor with a clinical focus in reproductive health, pregnancy, birth preparation, and postpartum care. I received a bachelors degree in Kinesiology and did my naturopathic medical training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (Boucher Campus), where I am currently Lead Instructor and Chair of the Botanical Medicine Department.
My passion for supporting reproductive wellness began at the age of 18 when I volunteered at a maternity clinic in the Philippines to assist in prenatal visits and breastfeeding/lactation education. As a Naturopathic doctor, I’ve done additional training in Naturopathic obstetrics with Dr. Cathy Carlson-Rink ND RM and Naturopathic Doula training with Dr. Kirsten Almon ND and Dr. Shannon Kaupp ND to enhance my skills and capacity to support others through pregnancy and birth. The aspect of my work that gives me the most joy is helping people connect more deeply with themselves, nature and community to find peace, clarity and meaning in their lives.
I recently welcomed my own little one into the world in the Fall of 2021 and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your own unique journey through parenthood.
