My journey with Naturopathic medicine started during my undergraduate degree, I had been struggling with both my mental and physical health and despite nothing being wrong with me “on paper”, I felt terrible. Through my naturopathic doctor I was able to not only gain an understanding of why I was feeling so bad but also get tools and support in managing it. This inspired me to go into healthcare to be able to create a space that is educational, supportive, and most importantly caring (I mean it’s called health care for a reason, right?) - to see people who feel unseen and help others who may be feeling like they no longer have control over their bodies. I believe in a ripple effect of positivity and healing, and I chose this profession to be able to help anyone who feels ready to start making a change in their health.
Hi, I’m Dr. Tia.
My Journey
As someone who is neurodiverse (I was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood), I understand how difficult it can be to function in a world that wasn’t built for brains that work differently.
Working with neurodiversity, mental health, trauma I feel it’s important to meet where you are at to create healthy changes that feel not only do-able for you now but that are sustainable in the long-term.
I am queer-identifying and another area of passion for me is health care for LGBTQIA2S+ and gender-diverse communities. I strongly believe everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and comfortable to discuss all aspects of their personal health in a judgment-free space. I will always support human rights and work to be as inclusive as possible for BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, sex-workers, disabled people, and other oppressed minorities as well as continue to learn and confront my own biases.
