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.

Recently and to my surprise I found myself moving through peri-menopause and chose to go the Bioidentical Hormone Therapy route. It felt like a difficult time where I often found myself confused, anxious, depressed, tired and of course all the physical symptoms that accompany this transition. I am passionate about helping women during this very pivotal and sacred time in their lives. 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.
