Her main methods of treatment include nutrition, herbal medicine, supplements, and acupuncture. She loves educating her patients on their health, blood work, supplements, or anything else health-related that’s important to them. Dr. Lindsay is also trained in Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture which can help with lines, wrinkles, and overall skin tone. She likes coffee, physiology, running, and tacos.

By offering numerous treatment solutions and laboratory analyses, Dr. Linda blends both research and traditional knowledge to help her clients achieve their best health. Treatments frequently offered include acupuncture, botanical medicine, diet and lifestyle recommendations, nutritional supplements, as well as soft tissue manipulation (myofascial release, cupping, massage).

Along with her practice, Dr. Linda works as a Teaching Assistant at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, training in courses including Hydrotherapy, Physiology, Acupuncture, as well as Physical and Sport Medicine. In her spare time she loves to bake, play tennis, travel, as well as spend time with friends.
