Get to Know Me!

I’m a passionate Nurse Practitioner with a deep commitment to patient-centred care and holistic health. My journey into healthcare began early on, as I grew up spending much of my childhood in and out of hospitals. I became intimately familiar with the conventional side of medicine, but I was also lucky enough to have a family who embraced complementary therapies. This gave me a unique perspective on how both approaches could work together to create better outcomes for people.

My own experiences have shown me the darker side of healthcare, where ignoring the patient's voice can have devastating effects. These experiences have made me a strong advocate for patient rights and the power of the patient voice. I believe healthcare isn’t something done to you but with you. It’s about choice, collaboration, and empowering people to take charge of their own health journey.

I have a strong background in caring for older adults and providing end-of-life care, where the need for respect, dignity, and compassion is paramount. I believe in the power of listening to patients, understanding their unique stories, and helping them live their lives with the best quality possible.

On a more personal note, I’m a survivor of domestic violence. I understand the devastating effects it can have, both physically and emotionally. It's something I believe should never be hidden because it profoundly impacts health and wellbeing. As a healthcare professional, I feel it’s vital to create safe spaces for people to be heard and supported through difficult times.

Coming out was also a troubled time for me, but I’ve made it through with the support of my amazing friends. It led me on a journey to my wonderful husband. We’ve built a life together that I cherish, which includes doting on our beautiful rescue greyhound, who brings so much joy and love to our home.

I’m here to help guide you on your path to health, whatever that looks like for you. I’m all about creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and cared for – because that’s exactly what you deserve.
