I help people build ambition for their well-being and drive outcomes for their long-term health.

For the past 15 years, I spent my time as the founder of one of Toronto's leading Integrative Health Clinics. After seeing 1000's of clients across the lifespan I made the bold decision to focus my energy where it was most valuable. In the support of building strong, empowered, ambitious leaders, thriving through their 40's and beyond.

I use my background as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine and training in hormone health, metabolic health, and digestive health, as well as my experience in health behavior change science, and leadership training to combat age-related health changes that are exacerbated by burnout and diet culture.

I help my clients see every opportunity available to them to build health, resilience, and well-being and never settle for less than they deserve.

My practice philosophy includes running a comprehensive assessment to ensure you have everything you need to make the energy you deserve. Getting clarity on the metabolic markers that impact your future risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, dementia, and osteoporosis. Creating a sustainable lifestyle system for building optimal metabolic health and hormone harmony.

If you get stuck on any step along the way our team of counselors and psychotherapists, nutritionists, and insider tools and training programs are available to navigate you through all of life's curve balls and build the mental and emotional resilience you need to make your dreams a reality.

I understand that you have goals for your life that include success, freedom, creativity, and adventure and that nurturing your health is essential to living the life you have created. 

I operate from a medical system that values function and performance. A system that is not limited when “test results are normal” but you are still suffering. A system that asks bigger questions about your personal vision for your health and does not make assumptions about your level of commitment.

I won’t tell you to quit your job or ask you to cook every meal from scratch, but I will help you to get real about aligning your health goals with your life goals. Abundant energy, amazing relationships, and big life adventures are the fuel that will help you leave your mark on the world without leaving your health behind.
