Naturopathic medicine is a holistic form of primary healthcare that combines modern scientific knowledge with traditional natural healing modalities. Naturopathic Medicine goes beyond quick-fixes and temporary solutions. It is a distinct approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and treating the root cause of disease instead of suppressing symptoms. Naturopathic medicine recognizes that everyone is unique and that treatments must be tailored each person’s specific circumstances. Naturopathic Medicine treats both acute and chronic conditions, however, prevention of disease is central to the Naturopathic healthcare model. The end goal of Naturopathic care is to achieve optimal health as opposed to merely being disease-free. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) believe that the body is capable of healing itself, and strive to remove any obstacles standing in the way of this innate healing process.

I work primarily with people who have periods, but I would be honoured to treat any individual of any gender identity. If you think you would be interested in working with me, please get in touch or book a 15-minute complimentary visit to see if we would be a good fit to work together.

Complimentary Consult:

I offer complimentary 15 minute meet-and-greet appointments to explore how I can help you achieve your health goals while determining if we would be a good fit to work together.

Initial Consult:

All new patients should book a 60-minute initial visit. After you’ve booked your initial appointment you will be sent an online intake form. The information you provide in the intake form gives me valuable insight into your case and allows us to maximize our time together during the initial visit. Please take the time to fill out the intake form and submit it no later than 24 hours prior to your visit. I also encourage you to share any recent test results during your initial visit.

During your initial session, we will take a deep dive into your health concerns, current symptoms and past health history, while establishing your health goals. Further lab testing is often required, to thoroughly investigate the cause of your symptoms and establish a baseline of health. In most cases, you will be given some initial treatment recommendations to get started on, which may include a combination of lifestyle strategies, dietary recommendations and/or the strategic use of herbal and/or nutritional supplements.

Follow-Up Consults:

Follow-ups range between 15-45 minutes in length.

You can expect to book your first 45 minute follow-up 3 weeks after your initial visit. This visit’s primary purpose is to serve as an educational session for you. I will take the time to break down your lab results and/or hormonal profile in detail, helping you to understand your results. I am a firm believer in body literacy and health education as a method of empowerment. I want you to leave this visit feeling motivated to heal yourself! We will also follow-up on your initial treatment recommendations and adjust them as indicated by your lab work results.

Further follow-up appointments are typically 30 minutes, but can be longer or shorter depending on your individual case. In the beginning, as we work on the foundations of health, I recommend we meet at least once a month, for 3-4 months. Each visit provides an opportunity for you ask questions, for us to track your progress, to discuss any obstacles you may have encountered and for the treatment plan to be adjusted to suit your changing circumstances. If we have decided to make acupuncture or cupping a part of your treatment plan, I may recommend more frequent acupuncture/cupping visits.

Once your main concerns have been addressed, we will transition you to a maintenance plan. Typically, this happens 4-6 months after your initial visit. During this maintenance phase, visits are less frequent unless we run into a new or acute issue. It is during this phase that we would complete annual check-ups and screening, as well as update your health goals.
