Childhood Health and Development

It’s often a relief to learn there are effective steps that can be taken before using harsh pharmaceuticals.

I have an integrative whole-person approach to medicine. I use homeopathy as a safe, gentle and enduring way to restore health and bring wholeness. I also draw from a number of specialties including functional medicine, and Traditional Chinese Medicine in my integrative approach to medicine. The way I work is similar to how a medical doctor in Europe would practice, using gentle medicines first. I want to assure you that not all of my tools are gentle. I bring out the big power tools when they are needed.

Approximately 40% of the patients seen in the clinic are children. I work with children, infants and babies as well as adolescents. Working with children is a specialty and a different process than working with adults.

Working with your child may begin with a specific condition or concern, but you may find over time that we've cleared up other lingering problems, be they physical or emotional.  Depending on your specific concerns, we may lean on one form of treatment more than another,and you are still going to get the additional benefits of all my background knowledge.  I treat the whole person and not just your most pressing problems therefore addressing virtually any illness, acute or chronic.

Professional Homeopathy

I am a witness to Homeopathy getting to small places that nothing else can reach. It’s easy to fall in love with homeopathy. In my years of practice I’ve had the honour and privilege of bearing witness to significant healing using homeopathy. The appealing small sugar pellets are easy to administer. Homeopathy is entirely safe and has no side effects.

Homeopathy is a safe, gentle and enduring way to restore health and bring wholeness.

A visit to the homeopath is like having a conversation with a good friend. For those unfamiliar with the homeopathic process, it might even look to you like I’m not doing very much. However, rest assured, I am working hard.

During our time together, I want all of my young patients to feel as comfortable as possible. I use artwork and games to build trust and prompt story and expression. Artwork, or a ‘doodle’ is an important tool that I use that allows for free expression.

Functional Medicine

Working with children is different than adults. The developing ecosystem of the child is fragile and easily wiped out by the strong effects of some medications. This can result in immune system and other health complaints. Functional medicine is an effective tool for children in the treatment of many common ailments such as ear infections, digestive complaints, urinary tract infections, low immune systems, and mental and emotional complaints.

Onboarding Children

For all of my patients, the process begins with a meet and greet. I can’t work with your child without your blessing. For those families who are new to working with me, I structure the appointment to spend some time alone with you at the beginning of the appointment (or at some point) to allow time to share background or sensitive information without your child present. We then bring your child in with your blessing.
