Bio

Paula has always been interested in alternative methods to treat various ailments, from Traditional Chinese Medicine to Classical Homeopathy and all modalities in between, but none were as effective, eye-opening or lasting as Heilkunst!

For 12 years, Paula worked as an owner and operator of a thriving massage therapy clinic and it was through one of her clients that she first heard of a local “medicine woman”, which piqued a deep curiosity! From her very first appointment, Paula knew that she was “home” and it wasn’t long before she began her own journey of discovering Heilkunst as a student.

Paula has been a part of the Heilkunst community for over 20 years and after a 10-year hiatus to focus on raising her 2 daughters, now 12 and 15, she graduated with her DHHP in the fall of 2020.  She now balances continuing her education in nutrition, building her Heilkunst practice and raising her daughters.  Life sure is full!

Paula enjoys any activity that involves time in nature including hiking, foraging for wild mushrooms, gardening, creating handworks of all kinds and cooking.

Originally from Newfoundland, she now resides in Halifax, Nova Scotia with her beloved husband, two daughters (through whom she learns so much) and the whitest, sweetest standard poodle that ever lived!
