It’s been just over a year since my baby girl sprung an early arrival and since I’ve been on maternity leave! I’m now back at Nature Doctors, excited to book appointments! Dr. Deirdre Jasper ND has been amazing throughout this year, and I hope you’ve had the chance to connect with her while I’ve been on leave. If not, I’m more than happy to pick up where we’ve left off and continue to collaborate on your

After much anticipation of an April due date, my baby decided to arrive 1 month early in March! To my surprise, we had a little girl, Ivy Maude Evea (pronounced Uh-vay-ah). Born in a hurry with an incredible birth, we received difficult news shortly after that she had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. This condition came as a surprise and meant she needed to be in the NICU and required surgery to repair her diaphrag

On the heels of my last post which laid out how ND’s (Naturopathic Doctors) treat acute health problems…this one is about prevention! Hehe! Every year, we hear about colds and flus and taking action to prevent these illnesses. It can seem hum drum most of the time (and somewhat common sense). Wash your hands, cover your sneeze, keep up your fluids, & rest at home. Got it. Okay, anything else I can do? Maybe

In a matter of weeks, it will be cold and flu season. Now picture yourself, watery eyes and runny nose…elbow deep in tissues and wishing you weren’t so achy and chilled. What to do?! Do you suffer through it? Or find someone to run to the pharmacy and grab an assortment of decongestants, pain relievers and fever reducers? OR…do you pick up the phone and call your doctor…your Naturopathic Doctor!? Wa

It’s true – nearly a year has gone by since I had my sweet baby boy! Hard to believe how time flies. But, I am back at the Wolseley Wellness Centre, 1 day a week every Wednesday in June, and will be increasing my hours come July. Dr. Jasper has agreed to continue on at Wolseley Wellness for the next few months while I am transitioning back. Thanks Dr. Jasper for all your work this year! It will be great w

Well, spring is upon us, whether it feels like it outside or not;) And with this season change, comes a great time of year to do a little body spring cleaning. Our bodies are constantly ‘detoxifying’ naturally. However, exposures to pollutants, chemicals, poor food, drink or air quality in our day to day lives can lead to inflammation and toxin ‘body burdens’…making it much more difficul

And I emerge into this New Year after 6 months of being ‘home’ with my baby boy. Happy 2014! After several months of a very different routine than my norm, I’ve been reminded at various times of the availability of health care and information relating to it. We really do have a breadth of access to supports and health care services where we live. From primary care, emergency services (both telephone and walk-in) to v

This letter went out to our patients in June 2013. Hello! As you know, I am expecting the arrival of my first baby next month, and will be on Maternity Leave from this July until spring of 2014.  In preparation for this time, I have arranged for a locum Naturopathic doctor to fill-in for me. As such, I am very pleased to introduce Dr. Deirdre Jasper ND, who is joining our team at the Wolseley Wellness Centre from Jul
