ABOUT ME

My career in the wellness field began at 18 with a co-op placement in a chiropractic clinic. From there, I spent over a decade working on the administrative side of multidisciplinary healthcare while completing my undergraduate and naturopathic medical education. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for the operational systems that allow exceptional patient care to happen. Along the way, I also worked in the nutraceutical industry — both as a supplement company representative and in retail — gaining valuable insight into evidence-informed supplementation and the wellness marketplace.

​

As a naturopathic doctor, I've built a diverse career that bridges clinical care, healthcare innovation, education, and business development. My experience includes a cancer care residency, advancing the role of naturopathic medicine in motor vehicle accident rehabilitation, and providing comprehensive birth and postpartum care in homes and hospitals alongside nurses, obstetricians, and midwives. I've also advocated for the profession through association work and scope advancement initiatives.

​

Beyond clinical practice, I co-founded and helped grow Your Downtown Doula from a two-person start-up into a thriving collective of 26 doulas within my first eight years of practice. Building sustainable systems, developing teams, and creating collaborative models of care have become as rewarding to me as caring for patients themselves.
