Conditions I treat as a naturopathic doctor in Ontario
Adult care
Hormones, perimenopause & PCOS
Hormonal change isn't only about menopause. Perimenopause can bring sleep changes, mood shifts, weight gain, and new anxiety, often starting in your 30s or 40s. PCOS is the most common hormonal condition in women of reproductive age in Canada — both deserve more than a "your labs are normal."
Read moreThyroid health (Hashimoto's, hypothyroidism)
Your thyroid sets the pace for metabolism, mood, energy, and temperature regulation. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's typically show up as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, brain fog, and feeling cold. A "normal" TSH alone is rarely enough to rule it out.
Read moreFertility & preconception
About one in six couples in Canada experience infertility, and "unexplained" is one of the most common answers they get. Egg and sperm quality, cycle regularity, thyroid function, and nutrient status all shape fertility — and the 90 days before conception matter more than most people are told. I work alongside fertility clinics and IVF.
Read morePostpartum recovery
The six-week check-up rarely tells the whole story. Low iron, thyroid shifts, broken sleep, hair loss, and mood changes can linger for months — or show up long after baby arrives. Postpartum thyroiditis alone affects about 5–10% of new mothers. Whether you're six weeks or two years postpartum, recovery deserves real attention.
Read moreWeight & metabolic health
When eating well and staying active stop working, something underneath has usually shifted — insulin resistance, thyroid function, perimenopause, sleep, or stress hormones. Insulin resistance often shows up years before blood sugar rises. I look at the whole metabolic picture, including support for patients using GLP-1 medications, without crash diets or quick fixes.
Read moreGut health, IBS & SIBO
Bloating, irregular bowel habits, and unexplained food sensitivities are signals that something underneath is out of balance. IBS affects roughly one in seven Canadians, and SIBO is one of the most common drivers of IBS-D, IBS-C, and chronic bloating.
Read moreStress, sleep & burnout
Burnout isn't laziness — it's a measurable physiological state. Chronic stress shifts cortisol patterns, fragments sleep, and depletes the nutrients your nervous system needs. Wired-but-tired evenings and 3 a.m. wake-ups are common signs.
Read moreComplex chronic illness
Long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, mould and damp exposure, and mast cell activation often overlap, and standard tests can come back "normal" while you still feel unwell. I offer careful, step-by-step support alongside your physicians — honest about what the evidence does and doesn't show, and paced for limited energy.
Read morePediatric care
Pediatric eczema (atopic dermatitis)
Pediatric eczema affects roughly one in five Canadian children and rarely has a single cause. It's shaped by skin-barrier function, immune balance, the gut microbiome, and food and environmental triggers — which is why steroid creams help during flares but the eczema often keeps coming back.
Read moreAllergies & recurrent infections
Children who keep catching everything, struggle with seasonal allergies, or react to common foods are often dealing with an immune system that's running too hot in some areas and too quiet in others. Recurrent ear infections and the eczema-allergy-asthma cluster share common roots.
Read moreADHD support
ADHD affects around one in twenty Canadian children, and focus, sleep, mood, and appetite are often tangled together. Iron status, blood sugar, omega-3s, sleep, and food sensitivities can all influence how a child feels day to day. I work alongside your child's assessment, school supports, and medication — never in place of them.
Read moreAutism support
About one in fifty children and youth in Canada are autistic. Many families come to me for help with sleep, digestive symptoms, picky eating, and nutrient gaps that affect day-to-day comfort. My role is supportive and respectful: helping your child feel well in their body, alongside their developmental and medical team.
Read morePANS & PANDAS
A sudden onset of OCD, tics, anxiety, or food restriction — often after an infection — can turn a family's world upside down overnight. Diagnosis and medical treatment belong with your child's physician, and the research is still evolving. I support the rest: nutrition, gut health, sleep, inflammation, and helping your family through recovery.
Read moreMost patients arrive with a few overlapping concerns that have been brushed off, partly addressed, or labelled "normal." These are the areas I work in most often for adults and for kids. Each page goes deeper into what the condition is, what tends to drive it, and how I approach it. If what you're looking for isn't listed, the work usually still applies. Reach out and we'll figure out together if naturopathic care is the right fit.
