I was born and raised in Langley, BC, where sports and physical performance were a major part of my life from an early age. My passion for football eventually earned me the opportunity to play at Simon Fraser University while completing my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. From there, I pursued my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
My introduction to naturopathic medicine was personal. Years of competitive sports, football and weight training left me dealing with multiple injuries and chronic pain. After struggling to find lasting solutions, naturopathic and regenerative approaches dramatically changed my own recovery and ultimately the direction of my career. That experience continues to shape how I practice today: looking beyond symptoms to identify the underlying factors preventing patients from feeling and performing their best.
Now more than a decade into clinical practice, my approach combines comprehensive laboratory testing, nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle medicine, hormone optimization and physical/regenerative medicine. I work with patients ranging from those trying to resolve longstanding digestive or hormonal issues to people simply looking to improve their energy, body composition, performance and long-term health.
My primary areas of focus include:
• Digestive health, food sensitivities, IBS/SIBO and comprehensive digestive and stool analysisMy background in kinesiology and strength and conditioning has remained an important part of my clinical work. Having spent more than 25 years weight training myself, I understand the importance of maintaining strength, muscle, mobility and physical independence throughout life. I have also completed additional training in areas including prolotherapy and physical medicine.
Outside the clinic, travel has become one of my biggest passions. I’ve been fortunate to explore countries and cultures across the world, from major cities throughout Asia, Europe and the Middle East to remote destinations in Africa and the Indian Ocean. Travel has given me a greater appreciation for different approaches to food, lifestyle, movement, longevity and health—and reinforces my belief that good health is ultimately about being able to fully participate in and enjoy your life.
When I’m home, you’ll still regularly find me in the gym, staying active and exploring BC.
I am currently accepting new patients and look forward to helping you build a practical, individualized approach to better health, performance and longevity.

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late CANCELLATION or NO-SHOW leaves an unfilled gap in the practitioner's schedule that could have been filled by another patient in need. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any CANCELLATION or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or NO SHOW their appointment, will be charged a CANCELLATION OR NO SHOW fee of $100 to the card on file. We understand that emergencies happen, but we kindly ask for as much notice as possible so we can continue to provide consistent care to all patients.
No other appointment will be booked until this fee is paid.
