Even at a young age, I knew my purpose and path would lead toward medicine and helping others in their healing. This knowledge eventually led me to a career in human health.

After moving to Canada in 2002, I became a Registered Cardiology Technologist and then pursued advanced training as an Adult Echocardiographer. As a Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer, I enjoyed a wonderful career in Cardiology and Heart Health and never lost the amazement and appreciation for the human body and its complex systems.

After years of working in an acute care setting, I began to question the conventional medical model that addresses a single part of the body and does not recognize the body as a whole. This led me to studying functional medicine as a Registered Orthomolecular Healthcare Practitioner and Nutritional Consultant. It became clear to me that many diseases could be prevented by dietary and lifestyle changes.

As I began to grow in my understanding of holistic health, I grew increasingly interested in Homeopathy. I discovered that hundreds of millions of people rely upon Homeopathic medicines around the world and was drawn to how this 200-year-old form of alternative medicine was able to stimulate a gentle healing response that allowed the body to come back into balance.

I completed the Practitioner’s Program to be a Certified Clinical Homeopath at the American Medical College of Homeopathy in Arizona (AMCoH) and have seen first-hand how Homeopathy can help people live well and find vitality in health. I hope that my experiences in conventional medicine coupled with my training in functional and integrative health can offer hope and healing to others.
