From a young age, I have had a deep connection with nature and a profound curiosity to explore its processes and our relationship within it. This fascination led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Enviornmental Science and Natural Resource Management. Following a period of travel to Asia, ensuing personall illness and exposure to traditional Eastern medicines, I shifted my curiosity inward and embarked on the study of this ancient and relevant medical system.

I am inspired to help people rekindle their self-curiosity, to understand their health-promoting/degradation tendencies, to help foster a deeper relationship with nature, and to help people make tangible connections to the physical, mental and emotional processes within ourselves. My therapeutic intention and therefore lifelong purpose is to continue to help myself and others, evolve in health from a place of self exploration, innate wisdom and wonder.

I am Registered with the Nova Scotia Association of Acupuncturists and the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturists of BC. I have successfully completed the Pan-Canadian Licensing Exams required by regulated provinces (BC, AB, ON, QC, & NL). Further, I am a sincere advocate of TCM education and have been involved as both an instructor and administrator of a Chinese Medicine College in B.C.

I am a clinical herbalist trained in the use of medicinal plants in the Western, Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions.

I believe in a holistic approach to health, addressing underlying issues in order to create the optimum conditions for a healthy mind, body and spirit. I work with whole plant medicine, and offer guidance on nutrition and lifestyle to help you become your healthiest, most vibrant self.

My focus is on the person, not the symptoms or the illness. I create herbal protocols that are unique to the person I am consulting with, usually in the form of tinctures, teas, and/or powders.

My formal studies began in 2012 at David Winston’s Center for Herbal Studies in New Jersey, where I completed the 2-year Clinical Herbalist program as well as a year-long Therapeutics program and a year of Graduate studies.

I completed my clinical training at the Bloom Institute in Halifax with Savayda Jarone, my long-time herb mentor who started me on this path many years ago.

A key part of my own health journey is my relationship to the plants that grow around me, not just ingesting their nutrients and medicines, but being with them in the field, garden, forest and shoreline. I am captivated and intoxicated by the wild medicines in my own backyard.

I believe that everything we need to thrive can be found within ourselves and in nature. I would love to help guide you in discovering this for yourself.
