I had a Shetland pony when I was a girl named Peaches.

I started the girls soccer team in high school.

I have a birthmark in the shape of a heart on my wrist.

I’m a naturopathic doctor with a focus on helping people heal from persistent or recurring viral health issues — and strengthening the body so illness is less likely to take hold again.

Much of my work centers on situations where something hasn’t fully resolved. Viral illness that lingers, returns, or continues to affect the nervous system and overall health is often a sign that the body hasn’t been able to complete its healing process. Rather than suppressing symptoms or forcing timelines, I take a personalized approach that looks at the full picture of what the body has been responding to — and why it hasn’t been able to clear it yet.

I don’t believe the body is broken.
I believe it’s communicating.

My role is to interpret those signals, identify underlying contributors, and support the body’s natural healing process in a way that is informed, practical, and paced appropriately. In some cases, healing moves quickly. In others, it unfolds over time. The approach is always individualized and guided by what the body is actually ready for.

Viruses rely on the state of the body they enter. When natural barriers, immune signaling, or detoxification pathways are compromised, the body may struggle to fully resolve an illness — even long after the initial exposure. My work focuses on strengthening the body’s first lines of defense, supporting innate immune function, and helping the system process what it hasn’t been able to move through on its own.

Care often includes supporting immune boundaries, cellular repair, waste elimination, and the nutritional building blocks required for healthy immune response — both during active illness and during periods of increased demand or transition. Rather than chasing symptoms, the goal is to restore the internal conditions that allow the body to function as it was designed to.

Healing isn’t about fighting the body.
It’s about restoring the conditions that allow it to heal.

If you’re dealing with something that hasn’t fully resolved and you’re looking for a clear, grounded approach to healing and prevention, you’re in the right place.
