A Root-Cause Approach to Digestive Health
Digestive symptoms are your body’s way of telling you something is off. Instead of only managing symptoms, we look at why they’re happening.
Common contributors include:
- Food sensitivities and trigger foods
- Imbalances in gut bacteria
- Low stomach acid or digestive enzymes
- Stress and the gut-brain connection
- Hormonal changes
- Inflammation in the gut lining
What to Expect When You Work With Me
1. A Thorough First Visit
We go through your full health history, symptoms, diet, stress and lifestyle, and review any past test results. You’ll feel heard and understood.
2. Testing When Helpful
Depending on your needs, this may include food sensitivity testing, stool analysis, SIBO breath testing or blood work.
3. A Personalized Plan
Nutrition changes, targeted supplements, botanical medicine and stress support, built around your life.
4. Ongoing Support
Follow-up visits to track your progress and adjust your plan as your gut heals. I’m happy to work alongside your family doctor or specialist.

FAQ
Can a naturopath help with IBS?
Yes. Many people with IBS see improvement when the underlying triggers, like food sensitivities, gut bacteria imbalances and stress, are identified and addressed.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Many extended health plans cover naturopathic visits, so check your plan.
Can I be seen online?
Yes. Virtual appointments are available anywhere in Newfoundland and Labrador.
What’s the difference between an appointment and the online course?
Appointments give you personalized testing, a custom plan and one-on-one support. The online course teaches the same core gut-healing protocol in a self-guided format you can do from anywhere.
How long until I feel better?
Everyone is different. Many people notice changes within a few weeks, while longer-standing issues can take a few months.
