Your Health Journey...
When “disease” shows up, it can be triggered for a number of reasons and not always because of something you ate or didn’t eat. We are often not “at ease” in our lives nor living from our truth and so rely on foods for quick fuel and often forget about nourishing ourselves.
We lack positive routines, so exercise, self-care, meditation, breath-work and stretching have lost their importance in our culture. “Out of sight, out of mind”. We are focused on survival where work, busy schedules and “doing” are top of our priority list. We have lost direction through this disconnection; often looking for it in places like money, power and promotion.
Let’s change direction! It’s time to focus on just you; your body, your mind and your spirit and create a positive lifestyle that not only feeds you but nourishes you from within!
How I Can Help...
I take a Naturopathic and functional approach to wellness.
Rather than approaching wellness from a symptom suppressing and purely medical model,
I consider the whole person by addressing the problem at the root!

Your Holistic Healing Guide
I am so excited to be working with you to help you achieve your ultimate goal of wellness. I love working with people to help them reconnect with their bodies and feel amazing by changing the way they eat, learning to tune into their own bodies, to develop positive routines and to discover the fun and creative world of cooking for your health. I understand what it feels like to be unsatisfied with your own health and feel uncomfortable in your own skin as well as how challenging and overwhelming it can all feel, especially if you are feeling tired, unmotivated and overwhelmed. But when there is wil, there is a way!
