First and foremost, I am an ND. Being a primary healthcare provider, I treat a wide range of patients, from all ages, for all kinds of health concerns including; allergies, weight loss, cancer, fatigue, digestive disorders, musculoskeletal injuries and prevention of disease. As an ND, I always look for the underlying cause of your health concerns and treat those first allowing the body to then be able to heal itself. In 2016 I started the Thin and Healthy Weight Loss Program and have helped many people reach and maintain their healthy goal weight. In 2019 we won Diamond for Peterborough This Week Readers Select Award for best weight loss program in Peterborough.
I was born and raised in Unionville, Ontario. I am the youngest of three and have two older brothers. From a very young age I took an interest in natural health and wellness. Both my mother and I suffer from multiple chemical sensitivities and have had dramatic improvement in our health using natural therapies. This triggered my passion to continually educate myself and help others with this knowledge. I have been practicing Naturopathic Medicine in Peterborough since 2001.
I am married to a local Chiropractor, Dr. Aaron Balmer, and we have two wonderful children, Dexter and Reese. We love to be active together as a family so in the summer we spend time at our cottage in Apsley, water skiing, swimming, biking, boating, the children do triathlon training and a few races each summer. In the winter both children compete in downhill skiing, and reach competes in a wide variety of dance styles.
