Menopause isn’t something to “get through.” It’s a profound transition that deserves informed, compassionate care.

The MSCP credential (Menopause Society Certified Practitioner) requires passing a rigorous exam focused entirely on perimenopause, menopause, and midlife women’s health. It’s an internationally recognized certification that signals commitment to evidence-based menopause care.

Being MSCP-certified means I’m trained in the latest research, I understand the full spectrum of hormonal, physical, and emotional changes you’re experiencing, and I can offer personalized treatment options (both hormonal and non-hormonal) tailored to your unique needs.

I see menopause as a whole-body, whole-life transition. And I’m committed to staying current in this rapidly evolving field because you deserve care that’s credible, individualized, and deeply respectful of your experience.

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and want support that honours where you are, I’m here.

Food isn’t neutral. It’s information. Every bite sends signals to your body: signals that can heal or harm, energize or deplete.

Clinical nutrition uses targeted dietary recommendations to improve current symptoms, optimize digestion, and prevent future illness. Research shows us that the majority of major diseases can be prevented through what we eat. That’s not theory. That’s fact.

At Proactive Health Care, we emphasize vegetables, whole foods, and anti-inflammatory eating. But here’s what matters most: your nutrition plan is yours alone. Food communicates with each of us differently, which is why every patient receives individualized dietary guidance.

Because the truth is, nutrition isn’t about following rules. It’s about finding what makes you come alive. 

Supplements aren’t magic. But when used wisely, they can be transformative.

I recommend nutritional supplements to address deficiencies, support disease treatment, and promote optimal health. The benefits may include increased energy, stronger immune function, and an overall sense of wellbeing.

I only carry professional-grade products of guaranteed quality, but you’re never obligated to purchase anything from me. You’re free to buy prescribed supplements from any pharmacy or health food store you choose. I receive no incentives from supplement companies. My recommendations are based solely on what I believe will serve you best.

The cost of supplements is separate from your visit fees. You decide what fits your budget and priorities.

Changing what we eat is one thing. Changing how we think? That’s where the real work lives.

Lifestyle counselling looks at the many aspects that influence how we feel, and often, the biggest obstacles aren’t physical at all. They’re the thought patterns that shape our feelings about ourselves and drive our behaviours.

To facilitate meaningful change, I may use tools like counselling, meditation, breathwork, exercise, and visualization. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s identifying and eliminating the negative patterns that are holding you back.

Because lasting health doesn’t just come from what you do. It comes from how you see yourself while you’re doing it.

Sometimes we need data. Not because testing is required, but because it reveals what we can’t see on the surface.

I may recommend lab work when indicated: urinalysis, hormone testing, blood panels, food sensitivity testing, stool analysis, and more. These tests help us understand what’s truly happening in your body so we can create a treatment plan that’s precise, not guessed.

Testing costs vary and typically aren’t covered by OHIP. Some extended health plans may cover certain tests, but not all. It’s always your choice whether to pursue testing. I’ll explain what I recommend and why, and you decide what feels right.

This is your health journey. I am here to help.

Plants have been healing humans for thousands of years. And they still do.

Botanical medicine uses herbal teas, tinctures, capsules, and other preparations to support recovery from injury and illness. These aren’t folk remedies passed down without thought. They’re evidence-based therapies used with precision and care.

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I’m trained in herb-nutrient and herb-drug interactions, which means I understand how botanicals work with (or against) medications and supplements you’re already taking. This knowledge matters. It’s what makes botanical medicine safe and effective in your hands.

Whether we’re addressing acute symptoms or supporting long-term healing, botanical medicine offers gentle yet powerful options that work with your body’s innate wisdom.
