Dr Alexa’s passion for Naturopathic Medicine emerged from her own personal healing story. She witnessed first-hand the power of holistic, patient-centered medicine, and she brings that passion and understanding to each of her patients. She works closely with them to understand their mind and body, and collaborates on treatment plans that work for their lives.

Dr Alexa has a passion for treating hormonal imbalances, mental health, digestive concerns, musculoskeletal concerns, autoimmune conditions and overall stress. However, Naturopathic medicine gives her the opportunity to treat patients of all ages and any health concerns. She tailors each treatment to the individual person.

She strongly believes in the body’s ability to heal itself. Her role is to support and encourage the healing process. Dr Alexa involves and educates each patient in their own treatment plan, as to create a lasting effect on their health. She graduated from Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, following her undergraduate degree in Human Kinetics from the University of British Columbia Okanagan.

When she is not in clinic, you can find her in the yoga studio, on the seawall or testing new recipes in her kitchen.
