** As of May 1st 2011, I am excited to announce that I have moved to the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver
Island and will be practising in Duncan**
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 250-715-0444 for an appointment or feel

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.
