Meet Your Nurse Practitioner

I am a dedicated Primary Healthcare Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of experience working with a culturally diverse population. I was born in London England and came to Toronto Canada at the age of 16. With the support and encouragement of my mother (a retired nurse), I pursued a career in nursing and completed my general training. My passion and commitment to helping people grew exponentially, and I realized I needed to further my career so I could continue to help people live healthier lives. I went back to school and got my bachelor’s degree in Nursing at Ryerson University in 2003, following which I pursued and obtained my Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Certification at York University in 2006.

I then realized the impact I could make within my community and patients’ lives by providing better access to quality Health Care. Throughout my years in practice, I continued to gain experience in different areas of healthcare, serving people in various healthcare settings in search of a workplace that used integrative approaches to healthcare that combined holistic and traditional views of medicine.

After some years of searching with no success, I finally took a leap of faith and worked for a clinic that offered a unique and fresh perspective to health care. It was a preventive healthcare approach to medicine that offered a wide variety of healthcare services under one roof. I could educate patients on health promotion and illness prevention while having access to healthcare professionals that share the same goals. We looked at the root cause of their illness. Sometimes some of my patients could reverse their symptoms if they were early in their diagnosis. It was then that I had an A-HA! moment. This was my calling. This is what I wanted to do!! However, it was not cost-effective for everyone to be able to access this level of service.

I began to tap into the knowledge I had gained over the years that intertwined traditional and holistic approaches. Through diet and vitamins in combination with daily exercise, I have been able to control my debilitating symptoms. So, I wanted to share and help my community. Letting them know that they can do the same for their health. This was the start of
