Dr. Kate is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, with a passion for empowering women to take control of their own health. "I chose a career in Integrative Medicine because I knew that I wanted to find a way to truly help people find optimal wellness, and be in control of their own health. It was my own struggles with my weight, anxiety, and PCOS as a teenager that led me here. I needed a plan to manage my health concerns that didn’t rely on band-aid solutions to treat symptoms, but rather a holistic approach that honoured how each of my concerns were deeply connected to one another. Through science backed- integrative medicine, I was able harness my hormones, and develop my own path to wellness. While I live my own health journey everyday, I have taken the drivers seat. I have mapped out a much smoother, and much more empowered ride, where I am embodying the balanced life that I yearned for as a teenager. It is my goal to help you find your drivers seat, take control of your health, and reach your vision of optimal wellness. I am committed to spending time with you, listening attentively to your concerns, and developing targeted individualized treatment plans to address them."- Dr. Kate, ND **Dr. Kate has a special focus in Women’s hormonal health conditions including: PCOS, PMS, PMDD, Perimenopause, Menopause, Weight loss, Endometriosis, thyroid concerns, fertility, and burnout.** As a personal trainer, yoga teacher, and former varsity athlete she values the importance of movement in supporting the mind-body connection, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
