My Journey

I have over 30 years of this experience as a registered nurse and midwife and had the privilege of caring for people through some of life’s most important moments.

I’m incredibly grateful for my conventional medical foundation. But even then, something didn’t sit right. I couldn’t help but wonder… Is this really what healing looks like? Watching patients struggle to recover while eating hospital food that barely passed for nourishment, I knew our bodies were more than a checklist of symptoms or a simple “chemical imbalance”

The real turning point came when my son’s teacher gently suggested he might benefit from “a professional opinion” — code for medication. My son was just eight. Alarm bells rang. I knew there had to be another way.

MY gut said there’s more to this. So, I dug deep: I researched, I read, I asked questions (this was pre-Google!) — and what I uncovered changed everything. His behaviour wasn’t a diagnosis, it was a reaction — to food. That lightbulb moment led me down the path of Functional Medicine.

This is also when I overhauled our family’s diet — and the change was astounding. My son never needed medication, and our whole family began to thrive.
