About Paula
My passion for natural medicine has been a lifelong journey.
Over the years, I have explored many approaches to healing, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Classical Homeopathy and everything in between but none have been as profound, transformative, or lasting as Heilkunst.
For 12 years, I owned and operated a thriving massage therapy clinic. It was during that time that one of my clients mentioned a local "medicine woman”, the description immediately sparked my curiosity. From my very first appointment, I knew I had found something truly special. I felt as though I had finally come home. Before long I began my own journey as a student of Heilkunst, eager to understand the principles behind the remarkable healing I was experiencing.
I have been part of the Heilkunst community for more than 25 years. After taking a 10-year hiatus from formal study to focus on raising my two daughters, I returned to complete my education and graduated with my Diploma in Heilkunst Homeopathy Practitioner (DHHP) in the fall of 2019.
Today, I continue to deepen my knowledge through ongoing education in Heilkunst, Psych-k and nutrition while building my practice and raising my wonderful daughters. Life is delightfully full and I would not have it any other way.
When I am not working with clients, or taxi-ing my daughters, you will most likely find me outdoors. I love hiking, gardening, foraging for wild mushrooms, creating handworks of any kind and preparing nourishing meals for my family. Spending time in nature is where I feel most grounded and inspired.
Originally from Newfoundland, I now call Halifax, Nova Scotia home, where I live with my science geek of a husband, our two daughters who continue to be some of my greatest teachers and the sweetest, whitest Standard Poodle you could ever hope to meet.
I believe that true healing is about far more than simply relieving the pain or discomfort of symptoms. It is about understanding each person's unique health journey, identifying the underlying causes of illness, and supporting the body's innate wisdom and capacity to restore balance.
Through the principles of Heilkunst, I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, individualized, and rooted in compassion. By listening deeply and considering the whole person, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, I create a personalized treatment plan that supports genuine healing rather than symptom suppression.
Healing is a journey, and each person's path is unique. It is a privilege to walk alongside my clients, offering guidance, encouragement, and carefully curated care as they move toward greater health, resilience, and wholeness.
