How I Can Help

What if you could finally feel that your health issues are no longer holding you back - without having to consult judgey or dismissive healthcare practitioners?

Together, we’ll create a strategy to support you, give you the tools to take care of yourself, and make space for you to heal.

 

I am here for anyone who is unsatisfied with the treatment options offered by your family doctor, or has had bad experiences with doctors in the past.

Anyone who has been living with chronic health conditions for years and wonders if there’s anything more you can do.

Anyone who has been trying to figure out their health on your own with disappointing results.

Whether your health issue is something small that you’ve been trying to deal with by yourself, or a complex chronic condition that is being managed by a group of professionals, I would love to be on your team.

Digestion

Do your unpredictable bowel habits constantly worry you? Do you feel so bloated that your pants don't fit right by the end of the day? Have you been given a diagnosis of IBS and offered unhelpful treatment options? Have you read about elimination diets and FODMAPs but aren't sure where to start? I will identify the root cause of your digestive upset and help you choose the most effective way to get you back into balance.

The gut is crucial to the functioning of the rest of your body. You may be surprised how much better you'll feel once your digestion is in order.

Long COVID / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyeletis and Complex Chronic Illness

Do you have a health history so long that you can never make it through the whole thing with a new practitioner?

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome / Myalgic Encephalomyeletis, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Long COVID, and similar conditions are complex, and treating them requires additional training and experience, and a practitioner who really cares and understands the experience and pace of these conditions. I love being a partner in the management of these conditions – so let’s create an individualized strategy for achieving your goals, that works at your pace.

Mental Wellness

I believe that everyone needs mental health care. You don't need a mental health diagnosis to seek help to improve your mood, learn how to manage racing thoughts, get to sleep quickly, and challenge negativity. If you often feel stressed, live or work in an environment that drains you emotionally, are neurodivergent, or are constantly battling systemic discrimination, I can help you build resilience and live life on your terms.

Healthcare should never hurt your mental health. I am committed to ensuring that your experience with me is safe, transparent, and based on respect.

I have a relaxed attitude towards healthy living and I always work towards minimizing anxiety around health. Very few healthy lifestyle changes are worth stressing over.

Inclusive Health Care

Going to the doctor can be incredibly anxiety-inducing. And all the more so if you worry about being discriminated against. You shouldn’t have to worry about your doctor:

  • getting your pronouns wrong,

  • making assumptions about your sexual orientation,

  • dismissing your concerns because of your race,

  • pushing culturally inappropriate treatments,

  • refusing you treatment because of your size,

  • coercing you because of your disability,

  • judging you because of your drug use,

  • or any other form of medical discrimination.

I’m deeply committed to being a safer space for LGBTQ2SIA+ patients, fat patients, disabled patients, patients of colour, and all other people who are too often mistreated by the healthcare system. I take a body neutral, sex positive, trauma-informed, harm reduction approach.

 

Does this sound like the kind of support you need?

I work hard to ensure that everyone feels comfortable accessing my services. I know that I can’t anticipate everyone’s needs, so I am always open to requests and feedback. Let’s create a healthcare experience that feels safe.
