I graduated in 2019 from a 3-year in-person Practitioner of Homeopathic Medicine program from the Ottawa College of Homeopathy, which included 750 hours of clinical training with real cases. I obtained my full license to practice homeopathy in Ontario and am a proud member of the College of Homeopaths of Ontario. I trained in Classical Homeopathy and also learned how to incorporate modern approaches. In 2020, at the onset of the pandemic, my husband and I welcomed our first child. I have a passion for healing, natural medicine and self-discovery and am really looking forward to sharing this with my community.  I currently see clients part-time at the Orleans Naturopath clinic and offer virtual appointments. My schedule is somewhat flexible, so please reach out if dates and times don't align with you.

My background

I grew up as a competitive figure skater in Northern Ontario and went to University to study science. I completed an undergraduate program in biochemistry in 2010 and a Master's program in biochemistry, microbiology and immunology in 2012, both at the University of Ottawa. I then worked in hospital research labs on various projects.

How did I get interested in homeopathy?

In 2014, after working in my field for a few years, I questioned what I really wanted to do long-term. I knew I wasn't interested in pursuing academia or conventional medicine. This led me to investigate different career paths. At the time, I was being treated by a naturopath and developed an interest in natural medicine. Homeopathy eventually came across my radar - I had never heard of it, but knew it had to do with natural medicine and that I could study it in a more flexible way, so I started reading. The more I read, the more it made sense to me, something clicked. It ignited an awe and curiosity that I had not experienced with anything else before. Could this really work? The world of holistic healing was such a new paradigm for me. Still, I couldn't help but delve deeper and found that my analytical side was really satisfied with the scientific foundation and principles of homeopathy. Looking back, I know my intuition played a role. After all, homeopathy is a healing art.

My own healing journey

In my late teens/early 20's, I started developing vague chronic symptoms that affected many aspects of my life. A friend recommended a naturopath and that's where my journey began. A couple years later, when I considered studying homeopathy, I decided to see one myself to get a first-hand experience. It was like nothing I'd experienced - I felt heard, validated, and hopeful. It wasn't a quick fix for me, like I'd read it could be for some people. I had a long history of chronic issues and medications that added complexity. Over many years, I gradually improved and weaned off prescribed pain medication. My personal experience taught me a lot, and although it is a homeopath's mission to help others find relief from their suffering as gently, quickly and permanently as possible, I also understand the value of having a compassionate and dedicated practitioner on your side through the ups and downs.
