Imbalances in your digestive system can impact almost every system of your body. Naturopaths view your digestive system as central to physical health. The mind, especially when stressed or anxious, can also affect the digestive system, and vice versa. Your digestive system not only breaks down and absorbs nutrients, but it is also a nervous system and immune system hub.
Conditions of the skin can be some of the most frustrating of all, whether it is new, or something you’ve been experiencing for years. Viewing the skin through the lens of holism can help get to the bottom of your skin complaints. We will look at diet, stress, hormones, the immune system and detoxification pathways, among other possible imbalances to help treat the skin.
When challenges present in life, it can create disruptions to our mood, energy, digestion, sleep and more. Moreover, physical imbalances can tip us over the edge. Naturopathy can be both a primary treatment or adjunct to conventional treatment you may be receiving. We will support your concerns with things like dietary support, counselling and lifestyle support, herbal medicine and more.
Hormones can affect us at any stage of life, particularly girls and women. I treat hormonal concerns from menarche through menopause. Imbalanced hormones can impact mood, menstrual cycles, sleep, skin, energy and more. I will help you understand your cycle and learn to effectively track, so you have more knowledge about your body, and learn when things change.
Naturopathic medicine can be a gentle, but effective, way to help prepare body and mind for conception, support a happy and healthy pregnancy, and aid in your postpartum recovery. Pregnancy and motherhood can be a major transition, and I am here to help you through it. Subsequent pregnancies can vary widely from those before it. Through safe and gentle dietary, lifestyle, acupuncture and herbal supports, I can support you in feeling your best, so you can take on motherhood in a more balanced way.
Metabolic concerns can sneak up on us. We may not even notice that they are happening, or know to consider them. Metabolic concerns include everything to do with weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and your endocrine organs. Naturopathy can support metabolic concerns and other connected systems.
