Specializing in women's health, fertility, and digestive wellness, I offer both virtual and in-person appointments in Guelph, Ontario, tailoring treatments to each patient's unique needs. My approach integrates acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutritional counseling to address hormonal imbalances, improve reproductive health, and resolve chronic digestive issues like IBS and SIBO.

Focuses on reducing stress and optimizing overall wellness for couples seeking conception.
