Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a Doctor -- the kind of healer who would help people as best I could, with all the care and kindness I had. I started the path to achieving my dream at the University of Toronto, where I majored in Microbiology and minored in Immunology. During the course of my university career, I excelled in my studies, and received many awards for academic excellence. After earning my Honours Bachelor of Science and graduating with High Distinction, I attended The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, the only accredited four-year full-time professional Naturopathic College in Canada. There, I studied all the courses that one studies at medical school, such as anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, differential diagnosis, and pharmacology. I also studied those courses which are unique to Naturopathic Colleges -- Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathic Medicine, Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Botanical Medicine, Hydrotherapy, Spinal and Soft-Tissue Adjustments, and Counselling.

Today, my commitment to my academic and clinical excellence is just as strong as ever. Aside from keeping up to date by reading the latest naturopathic and medical texts and journals, I attend many continuing education seminars throughout the year. As well, I am a Clinical Instructor to second and third year students at The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Spinal Adjustments and Acupuncture. I also enjoy giving lectures on specific health-related issues to many groups across the Greater Toronto Area.

I feel privileged to have been able to achieve my childhood dream -- to be a Naturopathic Doctor -- and to work in Thornhill Ontario, the same community I love, and in which I reside with my husband, Daniel, and my children, Evan and Dalia. I feel I have become exactly what I set out to be -- the kind of healer who helps her patients to the best of her abilities, with all the care and kindness she can give.
