A Little Bit About Dr. Alex

As a young girl, I spent a few years of my childhood living in New Delhi, India. There I discovered at an early age the realities of human suffering and the tremendous power of healing that is possible and available to all people. I would gather plants and pretend to heal animals and anyone that would accept my help!

Years later, I returned as an adult to embark on a Naturopathic student internship in the
foothills of the Himalayas working alongside medical and Ayurvedic doctors, Reiki
masters and homeopaths.

Prior to entering Naturopathic College I worked in Pharmaceutical Research and had a glimpse of the drug development process.

Currently I am passionate about helping women move through peri-menopause and menopause. This is a very pivotal and sacred time in their lives. And I continue to treat reproductive disorders such as PCOS, endometriosis and various thyroid disorders. I am an advocate for Women’s and Environmental Health. I’ve written for the CAND journal on chemical sensitivities and have presented my experience and knowledge on Eating Disorder Recovery.
