A graduate of the University of British Columbia and the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), she is the owner of the Natural Terrain Naturopathic Clinic in Edmonton, Alberta. In clinical practice, her focus is on mental health – anxiety, depression, anorexia, bulimia, bipolar disorder (types 1 or 2), addiction, schizophrenia, ADD/ADHD, OCD, etc. and she utilizes nutrition, natural therapies and orthomolecular medicine to support the physical foundation of health. 

She has additional training in five types of counselling (Gestalt psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Compassion focused therapy, Mindfulness based therapy and Integrative reprogramming technique) as she feels that in addition to supporting the physical level of health with diet and nutrition, it is important to address the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health as well.
