Core Naturopathics

I work as both a primary health care provider and in conjunction with other health professionals to prevent the development of future disease, as well as treat multiple acute and chronic health concerns.

I see patients of all ages and use up-to-date diagnostic techniques including physical assessment and laboratory services amongst others as well as scientific, safe, and evidence-based natural treatments in clinical nutrition, herbal/botanical medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, homeopathic medicine, lifestyle counselling, as well as numerous physical therapies.
