About me
Hello! I'm Kim, and I love what I do. I am a Naturopathic Doctor. I am a primary care physician and an expert in natural medicine. I diagnose and treat acute and chronic health conditions. I listen to people and make sense of their health concerns by finding the root cause. I order lab work. I perform physical exams. I refer out when necessary. I develop realistic and holistic treatment plans to help achieve health goals. I use well-studied medicine. I use natural medicine. I use the most non-invasive therapies when possible. I focus on prevention and education. I get the privilege of helping, motivating, and supporting people, great and small, to be their best selves. I advocate wellness. I connect people to the tools they need to become their healthiest and happiest. I believe that when people are well, they become inspired to lead meaningful lives. I provide solutions to help people of all walks of life realize and enjoy their optimum health. I proudly serve the East Toronto (Scarborough and Whitby) communities, and humankind. Thank you for stopping by my website! My journey to Naturopathic Medicine I have been very fortunate in life to have had the opportunity of pursuing higher education and my dream career of being a modern healer and motivator. The health care profession has always been something I wanted to be a part of because of how positively impactful it can be. Growing up, I was only exposed to the conventional medical system. It was all I knew of health "care-. I doubted its ability to genuinely provide people the proper guidance and education on prevention. I earned my degree in Biology and a handful of medical school applications. Eventually the move to Toronto, Canada brought hopes of finding better education opportunities, and it was as if the universe was shoving me to the look at Opportunity with a big O to its face. Here I discovered Naturopathic Medicine. Naturopathic medicine changed the way I looked at my own health. For the longest time, I let my anxieties cripple me. I still have my not-so-great days but I have learned to embrace anxiety as a strength. While in naturopathic medical school, anxiety consumed me almost on a daily basis but I understood them better. The medicine I was eager to learn and admittedly anxious to practice has now shaped my consciousness, my habits, and my worldview. Now I get to spread the word! I strongly believe in the role of the doctor to educate and provide people with the right tools for the betterment of their health. I am a doctor who doesn't just "treat- the symptoms - you are more than a diagnosis. I am dedicated to helping people realize the incredible capacity of the body to heal especially when nurtured with good nutrition, movement, ample integrative care, informed health choices, and love and human connection. As an aside - my journey has been made more enjoyable by: walks in the park, warm and hearty soups, being surrounded by loved ones, autumn, reading and watching crime/mystery/sci-fi, debunking period and period-related myths, social justice, equality, and my papa's sinigang (Filipino sour soup)
