I am a registered Naturopathic Doctor, as well as a member of the Canadian and Nova Scotia Naturopathic Associations.
My interest in healthcare began with my work as a nurse’s assistant and studying botanical and Eastern Medicine, nutrition, and psychology. After completing courses at the University of Toronto and the University of Guelph, I attended the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, graduating in 1993 as Valedictorian for my class and was awarded for Most Compassionate Caregiver in Clinic . I am past vice president and a founding member of the Nova Scotia Naturopathic Association.
Most recently, I was presented by the Canadian Progress Clubs with the Woman of Excellence Award for Entrepreneurship and Innovation for 2009. This event celebrates outstanding women who play an important role in our professional community, and is the only one of its kind in the area.
I have extra training in fertility management and in balancing hormones to help in achieving pregnancy or decreasing symptoms from periods or menopause. I continue to upgrade my training as well as researching the latest information in natural health care. For example, I now have training in Anti-Aging medicine, which is at the leading edge where natural remedies meet the latest advances in nutraceuticals and bio-technology. As well, I have remedies in the office to assist in the prevention and treatment of many illnesses that are associated with aging such as Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, diabetes and heart disease. These remedies also help you age more gracefully and slow the signs of aging.
