My journey into naturopathic medicine began in 1998, the year after I became a mother. I graduated from Bastyr University in Seattle, WA, with a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree and immediately embarked on a career that merged both clinical practice and life experience—two passions that continue to fuel my commitment to healing.
Early in my career, I joined a naturopathic practice in Calgary, AB, where I gained invaluable experience in treating women’s health, digestive health, allergies, adrenal fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and many other conditions successfully addressed with naturopathic medicine. It was also during this time that I had the privilege of offering Employee Assistance Program (EAP) support to the Calgary Police Department, which deepened my understanding of the holistic needs of individuals in demanding professions.
My mentorship under Dr. Patricia Wales, ND, and Dr. Karen Jensen, ND, further deepened my appreciation for the power of naturopathic medicine, inspiring me to grow in my practice and share my knowledge. After relocating to Saskatoon to raise our family in a smaller community, I continued to grow my practice while organizing the first Breast Thermography screening clinic in the city, a service still offered several times a year. I also co-hosted breast health education workshops with Pam Fichtner, RMT, a specialist in Therapeutic Breast Massage.
In 2009, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training certification with Sacred Ground Yoga, integrating the spiritual teachings of yoga into both my personal and professional life. Over the years, I’ve expanded my skill set, earning certifications in advanced biomedical approaches to Autism Spectrum Disorders, environmental medicine, and naturopathic oncology. I’ve had the opportunity to train with renowned experts such as Dr. William Shaw, ND, and Dr. Walter Crinnion, ND, whose teachings on environmental illness and detoxification continue to influence my work.
In 2014, I expanded my clinical competencies further with certifications in Emergency Medicine, IV Therapy, and naturopathic cancer care with Dr. Neil McKinney, ND. I also passed the Therapeutics Pharmacy Exam in 2016 in preparation for future prescriptive authority. Staying current with evidence-based practices and innovative treatments is crucial to my practice, and I have trained in advanced injections and IV protocols for neurodegenerative and autoimmune conditions, as well as brain health and addiction recovery.
My commitment to ongoing education has led me to attend numerous conferences, including the Bulletproof Conference in Pasadena, CA, and the TedX Stanley Park event in Vancouver, BC. These events inspire me and help me bring new insights to my community, while connecting with like-minded professionals who are advancing preventative medicine.
I am an active member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the Saskatchewan Association of Naturopathic Practitioners (SANP), where I’ve had the privilege of serving on the board in various capacities over the years, most recently as Treasurer. I am deeply committed to educating the public about the importance of naturopathic medicine and its role in healthcare. Over the years, I’ve written articles, delivered presentations, and participated in media campaigns, including a national TV marketing campaign in 2016, where I was one of 12 Naturopathic Doctors promoting the message that Naturopathic Doctors are Medically Trained, Naturally Focused.
I released my first book “Master Your Moods- It’s Not All in your Head” in 2018 and my second book “Master Your Moods for Menopause and Perimenopause” in January 2025.
