My life’s work is to bridge the gap between conventional and natural medicines. The gap I’m talking about is preventative medicine. By treating everyday health concerns with medicine that treats the root cause of disease, you will prevent disease. This is why I have opened the first ever Naturopathic Walk-in Clinic, located in Barrie, Ontario. I am passionate about making Naturopathic medicine more accessible and easier to use, and I am making preventative medicine more available through the walk-in clinic. My professional experience includes working as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2005, as well as 4 years working as a Registered Nurse in an acute care hospital with experience in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Medical/Surgical wards and Obstetrics. In addition to my direct patient interactions, I have been teaching at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto since 2011 as an instructor for Minor Surgery.
