I'm Sophia, but most people know me as the "Boob Doctor." I'm a Naturopathic Doctor who believes healthcare should be compassionate, supportive, and maybe even include a little laughter along the way. My journey into naturopathic medicine began through my own health challenges, when I realized I wasn't finding the answers I needed. Discovering naturopathic care changed my life and inspired me to help others find answers that truly work for them.
I graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I completed clinical training at the Integrative Cancer Centre and Birthmark Naturopathic Clinic. Before pursuing medicine, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Concordia University, a background that continues to shape the way I practice by blending scientific knowledge with creativity, curiosity, and a personalized approach to patient care.

Becoming a mother shaped the way I practice more than anything else. While balancing naturopathic medical school with raising my family, I experienced just how much mothers carry. Breastfeeding was incredibly hard, but it was the postpartum journey as a whole that changed me. I remember thinking, "All moms do this? How did nobody tell me?" It felt like stepping into a world that only mothers truly understood. The strength, sacrifice, resilience, and love behind motherhood is extraordinary, yet so much of it goes unseen.
That experience inspired me to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, but more importantly, it shaped the way I care for women. I wanted to create a practice where mothers feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment, and where they know they don't have to carry everything alone.
My passion for breast health and cancer care is deeply personal. I lost my dad to cancer, and watching his journey at such a young age left a lasting impression on me. It taught me that healthcare is about so much more than treating a diagnosis. It's about showing up for people with compassion, honesty, and hope, especially during life's hardest moments.
Looking back, every part of my journey has shaped the practitioner I am today. My own health challenges led me to naturopathic medicine. Motherhood taught me just how much women carry, often without anyone truly seeing them. Losing my dad reminded me how powerful compassionate care can be. These experiences continue to remind me that every person deserves to feel heard, supported, and never alone.
