Your Guide to Wellness
I’ve spent the past 14+ years working in health and wellness including integrative care, functional nutrition, and health coaching, making a difference in both corporate and community spaces.
These days my time is spent as Co-Founder and Clinical Director leading a team of providers at Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic, a health and wellness clinic that offers in-person and virtual services to patients in a collaborative and supportive environment.
I also help businesses and non-profit organizations develop corporate wellness programs to boost workplace health and productivity.
Let’s collaborate if you’re seeking integrative medicine, and personalized health & wellness solutions.
Professional Development: Past Experience & Specializations
My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Physiology from the renowned McGill University, laying the groundwork for my practice of naturopathic medicine. I was further able to deepen and expand my expertise at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I earned my Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine.
This equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of health principles and practices. I am Licensed by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NPLEX I & II) and Registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO), and am also trained as a health coach.
My dedication to professional excellence is demonstrated through continuous learning in areas such as:
Advanced Mental Health Strategies
With a background in crisis intervention, motivational interviewing, lifestyle counselling, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), I integrate strategies from bodies of work with a specific method of assessment to get significant personal and group change.
Dermatological Research & Treatment Approach
Studying the psychological impacts of skin conditions, I developed an integrated method of devising comprehensive and collaborative management plans for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, acne and other skin conditions.
Corporate Wellness Program Development
Designing and implementing tailored wellness programs to boost workplace health and productivity. I specialize in transforming corporate environments through sustainable health practices, working in profit and non-profit organizations.
Epilepsy Research
Engaging in clinical research to investigate treatments using polyunsaturated fatty acids in intractable seizure disorders, and now clinically working with functional medicine approaches to neurological conditions, my practice is committed to finding evidence-based health solutions.
Cancer Patient Support
Delivering integrative care and education to patients at the Humlegaarden Cancer Clinic in Denmark. I work on a risk-reduction and education side clinically for patients in remission for those looking to take an environmental medicine and overall health approach.
