I started my education at Capilano College studying computer science, where I met my husband, Mike - we just celebrated our 25-year anniversary. At this time, I realized my passion for health, so I transferred to SFU to finish my sciences and started at the Boucher Institute. 

In 2006 I graduated with my doctorate from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. While in naturopathic medical school I started the first Boucher campus bookstore - all profit went back to the students, I saw a need and worked hard to fill it. I love working hard and can be found doing projects in my house and garden on my days off. I also volunteer for the College of Complementary Health Practitioners of BC. I think it's important to give back to the profession I am so proud to be a part of.

I have a special interest in treating weight loss - my own weight struggles allow me to understand the difficulties my patients face trying to lose weight. I see weight loss resistance, yo-yo dieting, rapid weight loss, poor self-image and weight maintenance are issues that need to be addressed. I have been treating hormones issues since 2006 - using bio-identical hormones and natural treatments – I have extensive experience prescribing hormone replacement. I also took my certification from the Menopause society, and I am Certified menopause practitioner.

I recognize and affirm that each of my patient’s biology and health care needs are unique. I empower my patients to take an active role in their health, and I believe my own experiences allow to relate to my patients, further encouraging the healing process.
