It can be tricky for patients to figure out what the best route to go when it comes to supplements. It can actually be a challenge for me and I’ve been practicing as a naturopathic doctor for over a decade. I’ve recently trained to use a machine in the office for exactly that purpose. It’s [...]

It was actually a bit of a shock. I was flipping through an old journal and came across a bunch of notes I had taken listening to free podcast. Everything was incredibly familiar to me. Not because of the podcast, but because after listening to the podcast, I signed up for a coaching program with [...]

 Who loves sleep? I do I do! You do you do! Who gets enough sleep? Sadly, not most people. Statistics Canada reports that 55% of people ages 18 to 64 have trouble going to sleep or staying asleep.

Have you noticed that you don’t feel fully like yourself after a stressful or emotional experience in life? Are you [...]

Once Again from the Top. This Time without all the Struggle. Our thoughts matter. Our words matter. How we talk about ourselves matters. How are you with learning new things? A big part of my work is about teaching people how to change their health habits, to manifest new outcomes, where they feel stronger, more energy, [...]

You know when something is alive in your consciousness and you see that thing everywhere?
