I feel honoured to be working with the talented students who come to CCNM. Watching them grow into the future leaders of the profession is truly inspiring.

My goal is to help people feel more regulated and resilient. NDs can help a lot of people but you have to put time and energy into it as it takes time to see improvement. I love seeing the positive changes in my patients.

I oversee the culmination of our students’ full-time entry into clinical practice and their transition to being interns, when their foundational learning is applied to patient care. I am privileged to witness the development of our talented students.

Since graduating from this program in 1998, I have played a role in the changes in the curriculum over the years. I love being a part of a team that is unwavering in its intent to improve the educational experience of our students, and graduate confident and competent naturopathic doctors.

I am honoured and grateful to have the opportunity to work with so many well-intentioned people who love what they do and are passionate about the well being of our institution and profession.

I have spent over 20 years developing, teaching, revamping, and evaluating naturopathic medical curricula. I am finally at a point in my career where I know we are creating a new curriculum that takes advantage of the current research on applied cognitive learning, technological advances, and instructional design that combine to facilitate a student’s acquisition of knowledge and skills with more relevance and at a higher quality.

I enjoy the opportunity to learn with students when we encounter difficult cases in the clinic or something new we have only read about. As their knowledge and skill set grows, it is very satisfying to see their confidence and capabilities improve as they work with and aid our patients in the clinic. I continue to follow the careers of former students when possible and I am happy to hear of their success as they continue the long tradition of naturopathic medical care.
