As a Naturopathic Doctor, I offer my patients a unique and comprehensive
approach to health care. I strongly believe in educating my patients so they can
better take charge of their health for the long term. I am fascinated by the human
body and health and have worked both in conventional and complimentary
medicine.
I am excited to take on new patients and the new challenges that come along with
every individual. I look forward and cherish the opportunity to help others. Please
call 604.734.7760 for an appointment or feel free to email me at

Philosophy
Naturopathic Medicine is a wholistic approach to medicine whereby the main goal
is to find the underlying cause of disease or problem. This involves careful
examination and investigation of the whole individual and addressing physical,
mental, emotional, social and spiritual well being of the person. In finding the
underlying cause and eliminating barriers to healing, only then can the body move
towards optimum health. Naturopathic medicine uses various modalities to assist
this process including homeopathy, nutrition, Chinese medicine and acupuncture,
botanical medicine, counseling, nutraceuticals and more.
