Individualized weight management and intensive lifestyle interventions. I am a Naturopathic Doctor located in Vancouver and Whistler B.C.

I TREAT OBESITY AS A MEDICAL CONDITION, NOT A CHOICE

What if weight loss was more about biology rather than “will-power?”

“Eat less & exercise more” approaches don’t work. Let’s talk about what does work?

A Personalized Approach. What’s your Unique Story?

Step 1 - Listen

Assessment begins with understanding where you are coming from. What is your current state of health, and how did you get there? What treatments have you tried? Do you take medications that cause weight gain? What does health mean to you? A successful plan starts with listening, not ‘teaching and telling’.


Step 2 - Collaborate

You are at the centre of the treatment process so that you feel empowered and ready for challenges that lie ahead. I may invite you to consider evidence informed treatment such as medication or intensive psychological and behavioural therapy - let’s collaborate toward what you feel is best?


Step 3 - Support

I offer unhurried, one-on-one visits over time to ensure that the changes you have made are sustainable. If you are living with overweight or obesity, there are certain unavoidable challenges that make change hard. I take an approach that accepts these realities in order to effectively cope with them and reach your goals.
