My practice uses the rich diagnostic foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine to make sense of the layered messages the body is communicating. From there, we can use tools including acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, and nutrition to bring the body into a more balanced place to live life from.
I opened Verdure Health in 2023 as a private, home-based practice in beautiful Sooke, BC. It’s been a joy to welcome people into this space: one that my family and I created to feel calm, grounded, and supportive. My hope is that when you walk through the door, you feel a sense of peace and possibility as we work together on your health goals.
The month I opened my practice was the same month I had an unexpected positive pregnancy test. Surprise!
That was followed by an ultrasound that revealed a large ovarian cyst that needed to be removed postpartum. Double surprise!
I underwent some profound physiological and emotional-spiritual experiences that, let’s face it, come with the territory of being a woman.
These life-changing couple of years are what shifted my desire to focus my general practice into the women’s health sphere. I've had the opportunity to work alongside women in their journeys to living their best lives, no matter what stage of life they are in, and it brings me such joy!
My experience continues to show me that life doesn’t always follow “the plan” and health is not a destination. For many women, health can feel like something that’s forever out of grasp, particularly when you’ve tried everything, and nothing works. The truth is, we are dynamic and always in flux.
Health doesn’t always look the way we expect, but we can land in a place that allows us to move through life in a more harmonious, flexible way.
I don’t believe in pushing the body harder when it’s already tired. I believe in following symptoms as messengers, helping to guide your treatments to create meaningful, sustainable change.

My Practice:
What drew me to this work was a love of people and problem-solving, and an admiration of nature. Chinese medicine essentially takes what we understand of nature’s physical principles and applies those same rules to human beings. When you break the lessons down, it makes perfect sense–at least it does to me.
Often, my clients come to me with one foot in the western medical system and one foot dangling in space, looking for something else. I know how hard it can be to find real answers—or to feel truly seen—with the rushed pace of modern healthcare. What my practice offers is undivided attention, care, and options.
Chinese medicine remains rooted in the physics of the body and has maintained the same principles for thousands of years. There are no health fads or trends to be found here. It is a practice that people continue to turn to because it proves effective time and again for so many.
Everything is Communication
I first discovered Chinese Medicine when I was working as an au pair in France. At the time, I dealt with chronic back pain that wrapped around my rib-side, irregular bowels, irregular menstruation, semi-frequent sinus issues, and other small symptoms that all together would tell me, according to Google, that perhaps I had pancreatitis.
I was 19 and reasonably healthy, so when I discovered Chinese Medicine theory, I felt like I had finally found an answer that was more plausible than a serious pancreatic disorder. All of a sudden, my constellation of confusing health symptoms began to make sense. I understood that my body was trying to communicate with me.
Much in the way babies communicate through crying before they can talk, our bodies create physical symptoms instead of speaking to us in words. We secrete fluids or dry up, digest foods or back up, we sweat… all of these physiological functions are how our body speaks to us.
Your body is not out to get you; it is trying to speak with you.
This realization has been monumental in how I live my life today, and it is a truth I try to share with my patients and everyone in my life.
