Services
I can offer various forms of treatments and services. A complete treatment plan will be formed for you, based on your health goals and current health status. Your treatment plan may include one or more of the following services:
Naturopathic Consultation
The Naturopathic consultation is built around listening to your individual health story and long-term goals. I take the time to understand your needs and challenges; this means your visits with me will be longer than visits with your Medical Doctor.
The art of practicing naturopathic medicine is to identify and treat underlying health imbalances or dysfunctions. I work with you to find treatments and therapies that work with your lifestyle and meet your needs. I advocate to “do no harm”. I choose the most beneficial therapies to help you reach your health goals.
Lab Tests
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have access to a variety of standard and functional medical tests. The following list is a subset of tests NDs have access to:
Standard blood tests
To check different organ systems, nutrient delicacies and inflammation- like iron status, blood sugar, Vitamin D, lipid panel and many more
Food sensitivity testing
Checks your blood for immune markers against specific foods. Food sensitivities can be an underlying cause of eczema, digestive concerns, migraines and many other health concerns.
Saliva testing
Assess hormone levels as it relates to menstrual cycle irregularities, fertility, menopause, stress, and insomnia . The benefit of using saliva is that you can take multiple samples throughout the day or month to identify abnormal trends without having to go to the lab.
Urine testing
With testing urine, we have access to a number of different tests. We can check for infections, assess for toxic metal burden and assess hormones levels as it relates to, menstrual cycle irregularities, fertility, menopause, stress, and insomnia.
Stool testing
Through testing stool we can assess the good and bad microbes in the large intestine. We can also identify how you digest your food.
Breath testing
By testing you breath we can assess for H. pylori infection in the stomach and bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine (SIBO)
Women’s Health
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I am trained in women’s health. Naturopaths are able to perform breast and pelvic exams, including PAPs. Regular gynecological screening is a proactive approach to women’s health.
NDs are educated in treating fibroids, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, hormone imbalances, cervical dysplasia, yeast infections and vaginal dryness. I offer fertility, prenatal, pregnancy and postnatal care for both mom and baby.
My primary focus is on you. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship with you to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
Acupuncture
I am trained to perform acupuncture and I offer it in London Ontario. Acupuncture is an ancient healing art, with a documented history of health benefits over 2000 years. The art of acupuncture is to place needles in strategic areas on your body to alleviate and correct imbalances.
Acupuncture can be used to address numerous ailments such as: insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches, migraines, low energy, muscle tension and joint pain. It can also help balance hormones, promote fertility, regulate menstrual cycles and alleviate symptoms of menopause.
Clinical Nutrion
I use clinical nutrition to devise a healthy diet and eating plans tailored to your needs and lifestyle. Disease often stems from nutritional deficiencies. Your treatment plan will incorporate specific nutrients and supplements to address these deficiencies. Nutrition can be used to optimize digestion and support healthy body composition. It can help with fatigue, muscle tension, thyroid health, stress, inflammation and strengthen your immune system.
Herbal Medicine
Medicine derived from plants is a very powerful and versatile tool that can be utilized to support your whole health. Herbs provide healing effects, nutrients and are very versatile. I am able to tailor your treatment plan to address your individual needs. Herbs can be used to support anxiety, depression, insomnia, high cholesterol, indigestion, PMS, UTIs and many more health conditions.
