I previously worked as a primary care physician with a special interest in helping patients find lasting solutions to complex health challenges. My own struggle with debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms inspired me to explore additional areas of study including functional medicine, nutrition, and indigenous medicine.

In 2018, I opened Gut Mend clinic, to provide personalized, evaluation and treatment of gut symptoms. Over the years, I have seen how factors such as dental health, chronic stress, emotional trauma, and even intergenerational influences can shape the healing process. Today, Gut Mend reflects this holistic, integrative approach—supporting patients on their journey to true and sustainable wellness.
