Ready to Wave Goodbye to Your Anxiety?

If you are ready to take back the reins of your health and your life you are in the right place

Feeling anxious sometimes is normal, but when your anxiety starts to take over and impact your life it becomes problematic. None of this is your fault, just like heart disease and cancer, mental illnesses have underlying physiology that contribute to the disease and just like heart disease and cancer there are lifestyle choices you can make to change the path of your health future starting today.

When I was a child, I was often sick, between asthma and ear infections my parents knew the emergency room nurses by name and there was always a bottle of antibiotics in the fridge. Then, in my parents search for a different way, I discovered naturopathic medicine. With some changes to my diet and few other things I was transformed from “that sick kid” into a robustly healthy child, but the biggest change was in my physical health, it was in my understanding of health and disease.

Our traditional medical system is there for you when you break down. It views the body as a machine and when something breaks it uses the tools of medication and surgery to fix it. This is great for acute concerns, accidents, and one off illnesses. Trust me if I was in an accident the first place I would want to go is the emergency room of my nearest hospital. However, our modern medical system has gaps in it. The approach of body as a machine to be repaired when broken doesn’t seem to translate well to cases of chronic diseases and mental health concerns. This is because it fails to take into account the impact that the mind has on the physical body and because the training of medical doctors is focused on their tool box of pharmaceuticals and surgeries.

But there is another way.

Naturopathic Medicine views the body not as a machine -  but as a combination of mind and body; As something impacted by your thoughts, your experiences and your own beliefs. As a child I fell in love with naturopathic medicine because I was empowered to take control of my own health and wellbeing.

I discovered that everything I needed to feel well was already inside me,

I just had to unlock it. 

My Signature Tranquil Minds Anxiety Program will support you in breaking free from your anxiety and put you back in the driver’s seat of your own life.

How would it feel to:

• wake up feeling energized and hopeful about your day

• have a plan that gives your body the exercise it needs that you love to follow

• having a deep understanding of how your body responds to the food that you put in it so that you can make choices about what you eat knowing how it will impact your mood

• Have a broad tool box of things to help you regain a sense of tranquility when you begin to feel overwhelming anxiety without the need for medications

• Fill you day with enjoyable activities that help you maintain your mood in an even keel and bring you a deep sense of peace and wellbeing

• fall asleep easily, without ruminating over everything that happened that day or worrying about things that might happen or that are out of your control

You can live a life where you experience feelings of anxiety as fleeting universal emotions not as something that takes a hold of you or controls your life and decisions.

In my own life, I have known a thing or two about anxiety. From the tummy aches that plagued my childhood, stumping my doctor when “everything was normal” to performance anxiety that propelled my minor in theatre to my time in naturopathic college when the pressures of my workload caused my worry about school and accomplishments to spill over into feelings of anxiety that came appeared as seemingly random times out of nowhere, also known as generalized anxiety disorder. I understand from experience what it is to feel anxious.

Through my education I came to understand intimately how the body works and what happens when we feel anxious. I learned about the nervous system, our stress hormones, our digestion and blood sugar, and how all of these things combine in the bag of chemicals that is our bodies. But even more than that I came to understand that our thoughts are not just impacted by our biology but have a 2-way relationship and by influencing our thoughts we have the capability of impacting these biochemical processes in our bodies.

Are you ready to let go of old habits and create a calmer life, unburdened by uncertainty, anxiety and worry?

I know how hard it is to try something new.

Maybe you’ve been to doctors before who did not listen to you or take your concerns seriously. Perhaps you have had other health care professionals label you in ways you feel are untrue or unhelpful. Maybe you’ve been told you aren’t “compliant” or that you have to do something to continue care with that provider. Maybe you feel like you will never feel well. Here is what I want you to know:

1. Your capacity for wellness exists entirely inside you

I’m going to be completely honest with you, at my core I’m a vitalist. I believe that healing comes not from what I do or say but from a place deep inside each of my patients. I practice naturopathic medicine because I believe deeply in the healing power of nature. Everything I use to support my patients health and wellbeing works not only because it impacts a certain biochemical pathway in the body (although it often does) but because it stimulates that individuals own capacity for wellness.

2. There is no such things as a non-compliant patient

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t go back to see a coach, counsellor or doctor because you “didn’t do what they told you to?” Or perhaps you’ve had the experience of going back and having your doctor say “well you should have followed my recommendation” While that might be true I have never found it to be useful. I my practice I hold the belief that there are no non-compliant patients just poor treatment plans. If you were unable to follow the recommendations I am always interested in WHY. Then we can work together to modify the plan into something you can successfully follow

3. Your experience inside your body is invaluable information

Literally no one else knows what goes on inside your body like you do. I can have all of your blood work, run specialized testing, have you complete standardized inventories, and use my empathic and intuitive skills to understand your experience to the best of my ability but none of that gives me the insight that you have as someone inside your own body. While I certainly look at other factors to get to the root cause of your concerns, establish an appropriate treatment plan and to monitor progress, it never replaces my number one source of information, your experience.
