When people ask me what I do for work?

Instead of naturopathic doctor. I’m going to answer with…

I give women permission to trust their body’s again.

Trusting your body, your intuition and your emotions are all key to healing. Creating safety in the nervous system is as foundational as soil to a plant.

So often women want to “fix” their hormones. We can chase estrogen, testosterone and progesterone around with a stick all we want.
But the hard truth is often cortisol & the nervous system are underneath it driving the dysfunction.

What I hear often is a longing to understand our bodies again & a craving for stability to function in this world.

So let me say it a bit louder. Nervous system work is the foundation 💙

🌙🪻FREE WORKSHOP TIME🪻🌙

Just like blood pressure & heart rate - our cycles are a vial sign. They are our body’s inner compass. And honestly I’m tired of women not having access to this wisdom.

When were you ever taught about your cycle, ovulation, your body or your ever shifting hormones?

So often we see women in their 20’s and 30’s who are disconnected from their body & their rhythm. They were never taught how to connect with it in the first place.

Dr. Sam and myself are here to change that.

Join us this Sunday Sept 7th 430pm for a cozy evening chat. Sponsored by the one and only coming in with some free swag!

Can’t wait to see you there!

I see health a bit differently 🔎

As humans we have layers. Some are healthy. Some are slightly weaker. Some hide in fear and others shine brightly. Some layers we have been conditioned to shove down & neatly fold away.

When we want to find root cause, we need to look at the layers. What needs support? What is ready to bloom? And are we over utilizing our strengths?

Food for thought 🍎💭

Menopause was never meant to be a silent or isolating experience.
For centuries, women have marked life transitions with gathering, story, and ritual - yet somehow this one got tucked away in whispers.

Tomorrow, we’re bringing it back into the light.
A space to connect, reflect, and feel the power of this season in your life. One that embodies freedom, wisdom & strength.

✨ 2 last minute spots left✨
Join us at the Vancouver Strathcona Garden for Seasons of Her.

Menopause isn’t just about declining hormones.

It’s the next phase of life that has been lived by so many woman before us… but is rarely honoured.

We mark the start of life with birthdays.
We celebrate coming of age with graduations and throw showers to welcome a child or a marriage.

But this transition?
The one from Maiden → Mother → Wise Woman?
We treat it like a problem to solve.

So and I are here to infuse the feminine back into menopause support.

If…

💁🏼‍♀️Maiden is curiosity, discovery & the unfolding of self.
💧🪴Mother is the nourisher and protector—whether she raises children or pours her energy into projects, communities, careers. It’s the nurturing era.
👑Wise Woman is truth embodied, grounded clarity, and unapologetic alignment.

This is the season where boundaries sharpen, misalignment becomes intolerable, and your voice refuses to be softened or silenced.
It’s not just biology - it’s an initiation.

As two naturopathic doctors who work with HRT and women’s health every day, we know the science. We appreciate the science. We finally see a space in healthcare for the science.

Yet we also see the gap: the soul-level, ceremonial space that’s missing for women moving through this transition.

That’s why we’re blending science with soul.

If this resonates - grab a friend and join us next Sunday August 17th 1pm in Vancouver.
