Emma is a fourth-year naturopathic medical student currently seeing patients under the supervision of Dr. Jess Hobson. She enjoys working with patients across a wide range of health concerns and life stages, and has developing clinical interests in sports medicine, hormone health, and general wellness.
Emma completed her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology while excelling as an NCAA soccer player at Simon Fraser University. She has worked as a kinesiologist since 2021, bringing over five years of experience in movement assessment, rehabilitation, and performance-based care. This background informs her thoughtful, integrative approach to health, with an emphasis on identifying root causes and supporting sustainable, long-term wellness.
During her externship, Emma incorporates a variety of naturopathic modalities into patient care, including diet and lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, cupping, intramuscular injections, and comprehensive laboratory testing.
Outside of the clinic, Emma enjoys biking, lifting weights, snowboarding, and spending time with family and friends. She values collaborative care and strives to create a supportive, informed, and patient-centred clinical experience.
