A botanical is a plant or plant part valued for its medicinal or therapeutic properties. Our naturopathic doctors are trained in a wide range of herbs that can be recommended singly or in individualized combinations. At Lavallee, we carry many of these herbs in liquid preparations that can be mixed in specific, custom combinations for our patients.
Prior to the use of botanical supplements, all drug interactions are checked by our NDs for safe consumption. In addition to botanical medicine, our NDs can recommend nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and probiotics to compliment treatment options.

My main interests include digestive concerns, mental health, pain, and hormonal balance. These specific areas are crucial considerations for long-term health and quality of life and can sometimes be overlooked.
I have always had a heart for helping others. Initially this led me to exploring the field of Dietetics. Learning the powerful effect nutrition has on the body sparked a passion within me to look deeper into the root causes of health.
