I have practiced alternative medicine for the past 15 years with an intense love for its healing ability and the art itself. When asked how I began my journey, I say I was drawn in many years ago while taking small courses in massage and meditation in England. I felt a resonance for the sacred energy I felt. While living in Australia, I was accepted into and completed a four-year Naturopathic Degree in 1993. I was strongly mentored particularly in herbal medicine and homeopathy and this planted a seed inside me which continues to grow.During a six month trip through Asia on my return to Canada, I spent time with Dr. H. L. Chitkara in his homeopathic practice in Delhi India. I was inspired and developed a deeper appreciation for homeopathy.Upon return to Canada, I added a strong technical foundation and Traditional Chinese Medicine education with a further three years at CCNM in Toronto. My passion for homeopathy continued. I was awakened to new and profound ideas about homeopathy while studying with Lou Klein in Vancouver.
