For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be in the healing profession. Growing up, the natural sciences and the complexities of human nature always held a certain intrigue for me. Little did I know where this interest would lead me.
After college and a year abroad, I returned home with the intention of becoming a healthcare provider. Initially, I pursued an education within the conventional medical system. However, as things progressed, I quickly began to realize that practicing medicine in this way did not resonate with me. Upon further introspection, I found that I connected more profoundly with the healing principles of the alternative therapies.
In my search for a system of holistic medicine, I discovered the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst. In 2009, I completed their diploma program, earning my DHHP, and I also became a Doctor of Medical Heilkunst with the Canadian-International Heilkunst Association. Being an eternal student, I continue to expand my understanding of this dynamic system through additional education. In the community, I am currently working with Sustainable Living Ottawa West to develop a model of sustainable medicine and community alternative healthcare.
Every person deserves the right to a healthy, happy and fulfilling life. In my practice, I aspire to help my patients achieve health on all levels. Health is more than simply the absence of symptoms; it is the ability to make healthy, resonant choices in your life. Witnessing my patients attain freedom from disease, experience a feeling of empowerment, and live an abundant life is my greatest reward as a practitioner. Remediation with Heilkunst has improved my state of mind, my physical health and my sense of self. I feel privileged to be able to share this experience with others.
In my day to day, I strive to nurture positive relationships, enjoy great food, live wisely and laugh often. I am fortunate to be able share my life with my partner Shawn in a little home in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
