Over 35 years experience in holistic health care
Witnessing the wonders of the body and its capacity to heal itself is what inspires me most as a natural health care practitioner.  I am happy to say that after over 35 years in practice, I feel as passionate about helping people heal today as I did when I first began my career.

Is there a pattern in your self-healing abilities?
Behind every person who comes to see me in search of healing is a mystery, with clues as to what might help to enhance well-being.  I love listening and creatively piecing together seemingly unrelated elements in order to help you see new linkages in body-mind-spirit connections, shedding light on old dysfunctional habits to facilitate transformation and healing in a holistic way.

Lifestyle matters
From an early age, I was interested in our body’s self-healing abilities, and in how attitude and lifestyle choices affect our well-being.  I found yoga and tai chi to be particularly appealing.  Long before the word ‘mindfulness’ became so popular, these disciplines, with their holistic philosophies and emphasis on self-awareness, were of great interest to me.

Discovering naturopathic and homeopathic medicine allowed me to continue down this road and was a life-changing experience for me. I was hooked!  In 1983, I received my degree in naturopathy from the National University of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon. 

While practicing naturopathic and homeopathic medicine in Ottawa for the past 20 years, I have deepened and expanded my knowledge and skills through voracious reading and ongoing professional development.  Feeding my growing passion for Classical Homeopathy, I furthered my studies in India under several superb mentors, including Dr. Rajan Sankaran.
