Hi, I’m Dr. Emma.

I’m a naturopathic doctor passionate about helping women navigate every stage of life. The transitions of perimenopause and menopause can bring many changes and my goal is to support you in feeling grounded and at ease in your body.

How we approach these years not only informs how we feel, but also how we age. I take a proactive approach to health, one that focuses on prevention, vitality, and supporting you in thriving through your 40s and beyond.

My ultimate goal is to help you feel better so that you can live the life you want.

Beyond my formal education, I stay current with the latest research in women’s health and hormones. I combine best evidence practices with individualized care to create effective and sustainable treatment plans. I believe in collaborative health care and work alongside other healthcare providers to ensure you receive the most comprehensive support possible.

Naturopathic Medicine

At its core, it is individualized care that addresses the root cause of disease.

Naturopathic medicine recognizes that there are many contributing factors to overall health - physiological, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. The body has an innate capacity to heal and naturopathic medicine seeks to promote this process. Naturopathic doctors are trained primary care practitioners who take a 360 degree approach to health. We address all the above to help you resolve the root cause of your illness.

Naturopathic medicine is a regulated health profession. In order to be licensed as a naturopathic doctor (ND) in British Columbia, I have completed the following:

  • A university bachelor’s degree that meets pre-medical requirements

  • A full-time 4-year naturopathic medicine degree recognized by the Council of Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME)

    • This includes a 2-year practicum seeing patients in clinics operated by the school, amounting to 1500 hours of clinical training

  • North American Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Exams (NPLEX)

  • British Columbia board exams

For more information, please visit CAND and BCND, the national and provincial associations for naturopathic physicians in Canada.

I am licensed with the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia (CNPBC).

My Approach

I believe in integration.
Conventional and naturopathic medicine are both valuable and utilizing them together can often help achieve better results.

My role is that of an educator.
I strive to empower my patients to make informed decisions about their health. I work with patients to create treatment plans that are rooted in best available evidence and take into account individual values, needs, and goals.
