From the practitioner: About My Practice

Located at Grassroots Naturopathic Medicine Clinic in Calgary, Alberta. We offer in-person and virtual appointments, and a free 15-minute meet & greet meeting.

I completed a residency at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, working in the Cardiovascular and Diabetes Wellness Center. I taught Cardiovascular Medicine at Bastyr University for naturopathic medical students. I currently work with patients looking for a functional medicine approach to high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, cardiovascular risk reduction, fatty liver, prediabetes, type II diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. I also treat thyroid, male hormones, and GI conditions.

I offer advanced lab testing, diet/lifestyle recommendations, and botanical/supplemental support.
