Village Wellness Clinic 

I have been practising as a Naturopathic Doctor for over 17 years and have had the pleasure of treating families in Markham and the surrounding GTA. I have now transitioned to telemedicine to provide care to patients regardless of location. My areas of focus include chronic illness, women’s health and pediatrics, but I treat all conditions of family medicine. Over the years, I have made regular television appearances to provide naturopathic information to the public on shows such as Wylde On Health, Perfect Fit and Cosmetic Innovations. Answering live questions from the public is such a thrill! Conditions I often treat: •Acne, Aging & Eczema •ADD/ADHD & Autism •Allergies •Anxiety, Depression & Stress Management •Arthritis •Asthma •Autoimmune conditions •Children's Conditions •Cholesterol & Diabetes •Chronic Fatigue Syndrome •Digestive Disorders •Fertility & Prenatal Health •Fibromyalgia •Hormone Imbalances •Immune Strengthening •Migraines •Musculoskeletal Disorders •Weight Management

I have been practicing at VWC since 2001. It is my 'home away from home'. I specialize in Prenatal, Labour Support/Doula, Deep tissue massage, variety of injuries and Dr. Vodder's Manual Lymphatic Drainage. My passion is to make you feel better. I will be more excited than you, when you are better. My motto is that "I am looking to touch the lives of many." Hopefully, I can make a difference in yours.

I graduated at the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in 2009. Since then, I have extensive experience treating patients as a Registered Massage Therapist. Along the way, I have helped many individuals with restoring body mechanics and function. In 2019, I finished the program at Canadian Academy of Osteopathy am licensed as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. Through this journey, I'm constantly looking for new ways to help patients relief pain based on soft tissue and structure of anatomy. I look forward to continuing to serve and care for my patients and to improve their wellness of health.

I use an understanding of anatomy and physiology knowledge to restore the body alignment and balance. I have gone through four years of extensive training and palpitation educational programs in Hamilton.

I'm a member of the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, which is recognized by the Canadian insurance industry for osteopathic treatment.

I graduated from Pharma-Medical Science College of Canada. Currently I'm studying Acupuncture and Tuina massage to further my knowledge and technique. I believe in balancing the body and mind, and treating the patient as a whole. The combination of Gua Sha, Hot Stone and Soft Tissue Techniques in massage therapy are integral aspects for optimal health. I tailor every massage therapy treatment to each individual, helping to create the perfect balance for my clients. Treatments range from relaxation and stress reduction, to specific work on injuries, chronic areas, and to full body muscle tension. When I'm not working, I love to go on adventures with my daughters and dog. I also enjoy traveling and trying different foods.

I provide an accepting, non-judgmental environment, as I support you in discovering your values, changing unhealthy thinking patterns, and designing goals to help you build the life you’ve always wanted. I offer individual appointments for children and adults of all ages. This therapy is for anyone wanting to achieve personal growth in coping with the natural challenges of life that people face in their unique situations, not just people with severe mental health difficulties. I know everyone encounters various forms of suffering and internal struggles unique to the cultural and family contexts they grew up in. While hardship is inevitable, I believe that becoming aware of your values, what you believe, who you are, and what you want out of life can bring you closer to finding your inner strength to help you overcome your suffering. I have the training and experience to help everyone from children to seniors cope with the following: •Anxiety •Conflict resolution •Coping with bereavement •Mood disorders •Coping with chronic or terminal illness •Personality disorders •Relationship difficulties •Stress In my spare time, I love learning new facts about psychology, reading books about the meaning of life, playing the guitar, working out, and spending time with friends. **Please note, Mondays are for tele-medicine appointments only**
