I believe that health is not just the absence of disease but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. I strive to promote this holistic approach to health by offering functional medicine & integrative nutrition services that address all aspects of wellness.
I am a Naturopath & Health Coach certified in Functional Medicine & Integrative Nutrition. I am dedicated to staying up-to-date with the latest research and developments in the functional & integrative medicine scientific field to provide my clients with the best possible solutions. I am a gut health specialist.
I typically work with my clients for 4-6 months to uncover the root causes of their gut health issues and craft a sustainable path to lasting healing. Each individual's healing journey is highly bio-individual and there are no one-size-fits-all all. Some journeys last longer than others.
By working with me, you will:

Monthly Group Healing Sessions – Wakefield (In-Person)
Location: Physio des Collines, Wakefield QC
Duration: 60 minutes
Group Size: Max 8 participants
Cost: $75 per session
Each month, join a small, supportive group for an in-person session exploring a new theme related to your health and healing journey—ranging from gut health, stress regulation, fatigue recovery, hormonal balance, weight loss, and more. These sessions are intentionally kept small to allow for personalized attention in a safe, intimate setting.
Group healing sessions offer something that 1:1 work often cannot: the power of shared experience. When we come together with others on a similar path, something transformative happens. We feel less alone. We gain new perspectives. We heal not just through information—but through connection.
In a small, safe, and intentional group, participants often report:
Research consistently shows that group-based health interventions can be as effective—if not more effective—than individual care in many contexts:
When guided by a skilled practitioner in a small setting, group sessions don’t dilute care—they amplify it. You receive targeted insights for your own health, while also learning from the broader group container.
“Healing happens in connection. You are not alone in this—and that changes everything.” – Joanna

"Dis-ease" starts in the gut. That’s why every health protocol considers your microbiome’s health and addresses its imbalances. Building an optimal microbiome is essential to putting you on the right track for healing.
Nutrition is not just what we eat. We nourish ourselves with food, thoughts, relationships, and surroundings… Integrative Nutrition looks at you as a whole person rather than just at what you eat. But don't worry, I've got you covered regarding what you put in your mouth! After all, food is medicine! Based on your unique situation, I'll advise an individualized therapeutic diet to fast track your healing.
When necessary, I use Functional Laboratory Testing to uncover the unique dynamics at play in your body. I use Functional Laboratories across North America and Europe.
We are all different, so why should we have a blanket approach to health? My protocols are designed to look at your bio-individuality and support your unique body. One person's magic remedy can be another's poison. I will guide you through understanding what you need to heal and thrive.
Lasting changes require motivation and support. All health protocols are designed to give you the encouragement and support you need. My step-by-step guidance and unique coaching will keep you accountable and motivated to get to the finish line.
