Meet Our Team
I have a vision for healthcare where, from the moment you enter your appointment, you feel safe to voice your concerns, listened to, and hopeful about what we can achieve together. This is what I strive to achieve with each one of my patients.
I feel so honoured to have been trusted with the health of such a large number of people over the past 12 years. I have had the opportunity to work with people in all stages of health, including from the initial diagnosis of disease, to states of extreme vulnerability, to the relief that comes when they finally feel like themselves again.
My practice focus is in women’s health, treating conditions such as peri-menopause, menopause, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and hypothyroidism, as well as in digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I also help my patients with weight loss resistance by treating the underlying imbalances that are contributing to a slowed metabolism.
My practice style is largely functional medicine based, meaning that I appreciate that things like our genetic makeup can influence how well different therapies work for each person. This approach strives to optimize the function of each organ system, at the same time as providing treatment for disease that is individualized rather than having a one-size-fits-all approach for each diagnosis.
Augmented Treatments
In addition to education in all of the standard naturopathic sciences, I am proud to have the following certifications to allow for a greater scope of treatment for my patients:
- Prescriptive Authority
- Immunization
- IV Therapy and IV iron infusions
- Cosmetic botulinum toxin
My Educational Journey
I received my training in naturopathic medicine from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine after graduating with a bachelor of science from the University of British Columbia. Coming from a science and research background, I believe in using evidence-based medicine to guide my diagnoses and treatments. The end result is confidence in gentle, yet effective, treatments.
I have previously taught pathology and physiology at the Boucher Institute. It was a pleasure to be able to instill my knowledge into the future naturopathic doctors and give back to the profession that I feel so passionate about.
Who I Am
I am a wife and mother of two little kids. Spending time with my family is what I enjoy most, whether that is going for a walk through City Park or going on a camping trip. I love being outdoors and in the forest – you can often find me hiking one of our local mountains to scope out the view at the top! One of my greatest accomplishments to date has been trekking to Mount Everest base camp prior to starting medical school. My hobbies include hot yoga and as of recent, pottery!

Taking care of yourself throughout your decades may not always feel easy, you will transition through many versions of your body, but you shouldn’t feel lost. Naturopathic medicine understands you, the person behind the condition is the priority while still providing you top of the line medicine. This is why I can take so much pride in working with you towards whatever goals you have. It has been an honour and a privilege to work with so many incredible people over the past 5 years.
My practice focus is on digestive disorders, fatigue and women’s health. I am a particularly good resource for those with chronic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis as well as pesky symptoms such as bloating or acid reflux that just wont go away. I primarily work in women’s health throughout their decades of life. What I mean by this is your priorities will change over your lifetime. Your PCOS, PMS or irregular periods may be your priority in your 30’s, but your priority may turn to perimenopause in your 40’s and menopause in your 50’s. I know how to best support each of these priorities as they change, so you can protect and enjoy your decades to come!
Education
I received my Naturopathic education at the Canadian College of Naturopathic medicine in Toronto after achieving a Bachelor of Science with a major in biopharmaceutical science at uOttawa. I have also completed the functional medicine program via the Institute of Functional Medicine. My approach to your care will be rooted in evidence based, integrative medicine.
Who I Am
Outside of the office you will find me excited for the little things. Sunshine on my face, quality time with my loved ones, cooking a cozy meal, time in my community and a couch snuggle with my dog. You may also see me snowboarding big white in the winter, hiking the backcountry or swimming in the lake. I also have a minor addiction to handstands because I think it’s so important to find play and fun in movement!

My Vision
I have always had a passion for helping others and have found my calling in the naturopathic profession assisting those with their health. My approach to medicine begins with determining the root cause of ailments, rather than jumping to treating a symptom. I am determined to find out why each patient feels the way they do, and I work on taking all symptoms into consideration as the body is interconnected in more ways than we can imagine.
My Education
My naturopathic education was from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine after my Bachelor of Science in Biology at UBCO. My educational passions have always been in health, science, and the body. Because of my science background, I use my research skills to explore the evidence behind treatment modalities, and I am always excited to investigate into the cause of each patients complaints or concerns.
My Practice Focus
I work as a primary care naturopathic physician, with a special interest in hormone balancing, women’s health, digestive issues, adrenal & thyroid dysregulation, stress & sleep issues, autoimmunity, & migraines. My practice blends the conventional medical side of modern science, with holistic treatment values to provide a functional medicine approach.
I help people with the difficult transitions in life; I work with the working professionals, the men and women juggling their busy lives dealing with stress, fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, and possible autoimmune diagnoses. My focusses are in hormonal imbalances & digestive concerns, helping you become the best version of yourself and resilient to everything that life will throw at you.
I use modalities such as nutraceuticals, botanical medicine, IV and injection therapy, and prescription medications if needed. I want to help make the work-life balance easier and optimize your energy and health to be the best version of yourself to be there for your family, your jobs, and yourself.
Additional Certifications:
- Prescriptive Authority
- IV & Injection Therapies

Who I am
Outside of my clinical practice, you can find me enjoying time with my husband and son or reading a good book. Growing up in the Okanagan ensured many hours enjoying the lakes, ski hills, and exploring new hiking trails. These activities are more than just hobbies but vital part of my commitment to leading a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I have extensively traveled Europe, Central America, and parts of Asia including India and hope to continue to check off my bucket list of countries to visit.

To learn more about me and my practice visit:
I fell in love with Naturopathic Medicine because it is a practice where I can unify my passions. Being able to use science, health, and medicine, while giving my patients the time they need to tell their health story, are all things that are important to me in health care.
I see our body as our first home. A home you should feel safe and healthy in, so when your health begins to stray it can be concerning and even frightening. While only you have the power to nourish and strengthen your body, my goal is to help guide and support your health journey. In each case I begin with supportive labs and lifestyle foundations to ensure further treatments such as herbs, nutraceuticals, nutrient IV therapy and injections are successful.
My Practice Focus
I have experience in supporting a variety of concerns and conditions. I have a particular focus in integrative cancer care, women’s health, digestive concerns, autoimmune support, and general health. I work with all genders and ages.
Integrative cancer care has a very special place in my heart both professionally and personally. Cancer is a complex disease where informational overload can become overwhelming. It is often difficult to process all the information available for one to determine what is appropriate and safe. I support those in all phases of treatment, whether this is prevention, during active treatment or during remission. I use focused and evidence-based strategies such as high dose vitamin C, mistletoe therapy, and well-researched and targeted nutrient therapies.
With the ever-increasing information available, it is hard to know where to start. It is my hope to help you sort through all the numerous and complex medical information available, and refine it into a simple, consistent plan designed specifically for each person.
My Education
I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) with a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. I have a double major in chemistry and biology, as well as a degree in Education from the University of British Columbia (UBC).
Who I am
I was born and raised in the Okanagan and enjoy all of its seasons. When I am not in the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family, paddle boarding, cross country skiing, playing tennis, pickle ball, travelling when ever I can, and going for walks with my dog, Levy.

My Vision
I have always had a strong interest in anatomy, human biomechanics, and physiology. My goal is to use the knowledge I’ve gained to help individuals identify the root causes of their issues, rather than just treating the symptoms. I conduct thorough health assessments, evaluating patient symptoms and investigating their structural habits—such as posture during sitting, standing, and sleeping, as well as work and recreational activities that may contribute to wear and tear on their tissues. Once individual needs are determined, I focus on educating patients about the factors driving their issues and how to address them. This is followed by a comprehensive structural assessment and the development of a personalized treatment plan.
My Practice Focus
I have had the privilege of collaborating with a range of healthcare specialists, including naturopaths for digestive, hormonal, and sleep-related issues, ENTs for conditions affecting the ears, eyes, nose, and throat (such as glaucoma, floaters, vertigo, headaches, swallowing difficulties, and congestion), oral surgeons and dentists for TMJ dysfunction, and general practitioners and surgeons for pain, joint health, and musculoskeletal conditions (such as sciatica, carpal tunnel, and respiratory issues). As an osteopath, my approach is rooted in treating the body as an interconnected whole. By addressing the structural, functional, and physiological imbalances in the body, I aim to optimize its overall function, which in turn can alleviate a wide range of symptoms. My goal is not only to reduce or eliminate symptoms but to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Each patient who comes to see me receives a personalized treatment plan based on their specific needs, ensuring the most effective care possible.
Who I Am
I grew up in Timmins, Ontario, where my family still resides. My educational journey took me to Sudbury and Hamilton, Ontario, where I furthered my studies. After completing my education, I spent several years working in Timmins and Sudbury, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of practitioners, broadening both my knowledge and my practice. Now, my travels have brought me to Kelowna, as I was eager to explore the beauty of BC. As an osteopath, I am deeply passionate about helping others, and I always strive to further educate myself to provide the best care possible. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the Kelowna community, offering personalized treatment and holistic care. In my free time, I enjoy immersing myself in nature and embracing the stunning landscapes this region has to offer.
My Education
I started at Laurentian University to obtain a 4yr bachelor of science with a specialization in psychology followed by a 4 yr degree at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.
Crissy has a background in administration spanning 20+ years in various roles from hospitality & tourism, construction and short term investments to health care; from managing daily operations of gyms and supplement stores, to chiropractic and physiotherapy clinics. Crissy ensures that our clients are well taken care of from even before they enter our clinic and well after leaving, from scheduling appointments to records management, all with a great sense of compassion for our clients.
When not in the clinic she enjoys kayaking anywhere she can, exploring old/abandoned sites and taking random road trips be it near or far, all no matter the time of year. She is also an avid Kelowna Rockets fan along with many other sports.
With a background in finance and insurance, I returned to the workforce managing a busy physiotherapy clinic, where I discovered a passion for patient-centered care in the paramedical field. My interest in naturopathic medicine began at age 16, and it has played a meaningful role in my own health journey. I take pride in creating a welcoming and supportive environment for patients as they navigate their wellness paths. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring the beautiful Okanagan with my family and our dogs.
