Combining the traditions of modern medicine with the wisdom and heart of mindfulness and self-compassion for improved wellbeing.

Currently accepting new clients for individual sessions (Covered by OHIP).

I am grateful to do what I love and love what I do.

My career in medicine started with the intention of seeing the whole of each person and helping them achieve greater health and wellness. For over 30 years as a family doctor, I have been following this intention. Although in recent years this intention has not changed, the nature of my work has.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion based approaches to health and wellness.

Together we explore learning mindfulness and self-compassion following a structured approach using research proven programs. Sessions follow the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) or Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs. Currently, private virtual sessions are being offered.

Self-compassion is treating ourselves during times of struggle like we would treat a good friend…with kindness and understanding.

Mindfulness is being in the present moment with openness and curiosity. It is about training your mind muscle.
