Cara grew up in Cape Breton Island and attended Dalhousie University to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2006, Cara spent her first 10 years of practice working in downtown Toronto. She worked in busy multidisciplinary clinics over that time setting the foundation for her areas of focus and gaining a wealth of knowledge.

With 17 years of clinical experience, Cara has worked with a variety of concerns and works collaboratively with patients from an evidence-based perspective to help them in their journey to optimal health. Cara believes strongly in a patient-centered, supportive and integrative approach to health and wellbeing and encourages patients to be active participants in their individualized plans. A Mother of three, Cara feels passionately about educating families in health optimization and how to navigate making healthy choices with a busy life.

Cara has helped many people in practice from acute to chronic conditions, to health optimization and preventative care. The areas of practice that have naturally evolved to become her passions either through personal or practical experience include fertility support, pre and postpartum care, recurrent miscarriage, children’s health from sleep issues to tummy troubles, ADHD (in both children and adults), and metabolic/endocrine health including hormone optimization, insulin resistance, PCOS and thyroid disorders.

Cara has also completed training to become a Mold Literate Practitioner to help those with mold related illness. Additionally, Cara has completed advanced training in chronic infections such as Lyme and EBV, as well as SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), IBS and other digestive concerns.

Cara prioritizes a healthy and active lifestyle with her partner and three sons. Time with family is spent mountain biking, hiking local trails, downhill skiing, and ensuring they get a healthy dose of nature and outdoor play. On her own, Cara enjoys walking/running, yoga, and quality time spent with family and good friends.

Cancer changes everything…but it doesn’t get the final say. My superpower? Helping men and women reclaim their vitality after cancer so they can feel stronger, more energized, and more confident than ever before.

As one of Ontario’s few naturopathic doctors who focus in integrative oncology, I work with patients and healthcare professionals in the Peterborough area to bridge the gap between conventional and naturopathic medicine. I know firsthand what’s at stake; breast cancer has touched my family too many times, and I’ve spent years learning how to build resilience against disease. Now, I help others do the same.

I don’t believe in restrictive, impossible-to-follow plans. My approach is evidence-informed, realistic, and designed to fit into a busy life. No fluff, no pseudoscience, just powerful, science-backed strategies to help you recover, rebuild, and redefine what health looks like for you.

Everyone should have a naturopathic doctor on their healthcare team. People in our community want this, and the demand is only growing. My mission is to ensure they receive the care they deserve in a safe and effective manner.

You don’t have to settle for “fine.” Let’s go beyond just surviving…let’s help you thrive.
