I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Calgary, with over 19 years of clinical experience – I have spent time dealing with hormones, weight loss and fertility but my real strength is in finding and helping to release the hidden trauma embedded in the tissues that create disease and painful life patterns. Btw hormonal imbalance and fertility will both respond to this method.

History and Credentials My undergraduate degree was earned from the University of Manitoba, Faculty of Agriculture. I started my Master’s degree in Entomology working with honey bees, but changed directions for a greater sense of fulfillment. I set off to Seattle to study Naturopathic Medicine at Bastyr University for the next four years of my life. During this time I also undertook extra curricular training. I studied Visceral Manipulation and took advanced courses in homeopathy. I signed up for Visceral Manipulation (VM) and homeopathy focus clinic shifts to gain extra hands-on experience and participated in VM study groups after regular classes. I studied self care techniques and organized additional classes for other students. These same techniques along with counselling/inherited trauma therapy, remain my main modalities to this day.

I have been actively involved with regular prayer and meditation for over 20 years, working to become more integrous, aligned and transparent on a daily basis.
