I am a naturopathic doctor, the founder and co-owner of Local Health Integrative Health, as well a yoga teacher and the co-founder/facilitator for SomaSpirit Yoga Teacher Training. I have a general naturopathic practice with a passion for supporting women in their fertility, pre/postnatal care, as well as working with young children. My goal is to support each person on their journey to a place were they are happy, healthy, and able to do the things they are passionate about.
I split my time between Powell River (qathet) and Vancouver. Patients in Vancouver and BC: You are welcome to book with me via telemedicine or see me in person in Vancouver the last week of the month. qathet patients are welcome to see me in person at my clinic space on Marine Drive.
The latin root to the word "doctor" means "to teach," and I believe the foundation of healthcare should be education and empowerment through collaboration and openness. I believe in listening more than talking, and finding joy in little moments. Coffee is my jam, movement (especially yoga) is my medicine, and I am so grateful to be able to walk this journey following in the footsteps of so many women teachers, doctors, healers, and knowledge keepers that came before me. I honour them, my teachers, these traditional, unceded lands I get to live, work, and play on, and all my relations.
