Your Trusted Toronto Naturopathic Doctor
As a registered Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Toronto's Danforth/Riverdale area since 2007, I combine scientific research with naturopathic therapies to address root causes of health concerns. My approach integrates clinical nutrition, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle counseling to treat patients of all ages. With a background in human biology research at institutions like Sick Kids Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency, I bring evidence-based expertise to personalized treatment plans.My practice emphasizes sustainable health improvements through dietary changes and minimal supplementation, while offering virtual appointments for accessibility. I've served as a wellness consultant for major corporations and co-host the Perimenopausal Mamas Podcast to support hormonal health.
