Hi, I'm Dr. Patricia!
Fascinated by the intersection of nature, community, and health, I embarked on a journey into the world of naturopathic medicine. My personal struggle with insomnia led me to discover a whole new toolbox of solutions that not only helped me overcome my own challenges but also fuelled my passion for helping others repair and rebalance their bodies.
During my time in naturopathic medical school, my clinical experiences highlighted gaps in our healthcare system, particularly for the older population. This revelation prompted a shift from my original focus on paediatrics to a dedicated commitment to geriatrics.
Born and raised in Metro Vancouver, I was fortunate to grow up with active grandparents who, later in life, faced challenges with dementia and cognitive decline. This personal connection fuelled my interest in memory and brain health, where I discovered that preventive care knows no age limits.
As a naturopathic doctor, my practice is geared towards brain health, chronic pain, hormonal balancing, digestive and metabolic health. I believe that maximizing quality of life starts with active listening, compassion, and education.
Outside the clinic, you'll catch me staying active outdoors, indulging in yoga sessions, exploring arts and crafts, or whipping up new recipes in the kitchen.
