A Different Approach to Health
The Senchune Wellness Collective is a functional medicine service helping highly sensitive leaders simplify & streamline their health so they can step into thier POWER.
My style of medicine is a combo of functional naturopathic medicine, alignment coaching, and intuitive guidance. You can expect elements of holistic + modern medicine, functional labs, human design, and technology with ancient knowledge, tradition, and culture.
This methodology addresses all of the subtle bodies and layers of your health and life and my approach is multi layered and intentional process.
Conditions I Support
I help highly sensitive people align with thier unique biology. Highly sensitive people process thoughts, emotion, and stimuli differently than most of the population. This process can transfer into the psyche, nervous system, and biology of a person, leading to a unique subsets of health manifestations. Learn more

Skin & Dermatology
Our skin is often a direct representation of our internal health. It's also the interface between our external and inernal environment and one of our organs of elimination. Skin conditions are one of the most common things affecting empaths and HSP's
• Eczema
• Topical Steroid Withdrawal
• Psoriasis
• Acne
• Candida
Nervous System Imbalances
The nervous system of a highly sensitive person or empath is a very complex and beautiful thing. Because of how deeply you experience the world, you're likely more easily and quickly overstimulated.
• Burnout
• Anxiety/Panic
• ADD/ADHD
• Dorsal vagal activation
• Cognitive support
• Fatigue & insomnia
Gut Health
The gut is the seat of our health and our second brain, producing 95% of our serotonin. Utilizing our ancestry, genetics and intuition in selecting a diet is perhaps the most profound thing you can do for your health.
• IBS
• Constipation // Diarrhea
• Celiac
• Bloating
• Candida
• SIBO
• GERD
Hormone Balance
Our hormonal cycles are intimatley tied to the subtle cycles of earth as well as the energies of those around us. Many modern day exposures may be affecting the way your hormones are functioning.
• Hormone Dysregulation / Irregular Periods
• Menopause
• Infertility
• PMS
• PCOS
• Endometriosis
• Birth control syndrome
Allergy & Environment
We live in a toxic world, and even though our body is well equipped to detox, it sometimes gets overwhelmed. Allergies are the manifestation of an over sensitized immune system.
• Seasonal Allergies (cedar fever, hay fever, pollen)
• Chemical sensitivity
• Post viral syndrome
• EMF sensitivity
• Post vaxx sydrome
• Heavy metal exposure
Autoimmune
The complex interaction between our sensitive systems + the toxins, energies, and signals bombarding us today can manifest as autoimmune disease in the highly sensitive person. An Autoimmune condition happens when the body gets confused and starts attacking its own tissues. There are different manifestations of autoimmune conditions, depending on the system involved
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis
• Graves Disease
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Crohn's Disease
• Diabetes type

Toolbox
Wellness Foundation Optimization & Coaching
Coaching on finding the right diet and nutrition, exercise, sleep, habits, stress management tools and lifestyle practices to best suit your life and your goals.
Sometimes we need a cheer leader, sometimes we need someone to tell you like it is, and other times we just need someone to listen. Health coaching offers a way to keep you motivated and accountable so you can reach your goals.
I am certified as a coach, and am able to help you break through your boundaries to achieve the goals you're looking for.
Personalized Nutrition & Diet
I love working with foods in their fullest form. Whole grains, vegetables, fruits, happy meats and dairy (to name a few)… I am passionate about fermented, sprouted and traditional preparation techniques as gateways to wholesome and nourishing nutrition. Sometimes rigorous diets are called for; with time and a return to health, food should be fun
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine, also known as herbal medicine, stretches back to ancient times. It can come in many different forms (teas, liquid extracts, pills, essential oils etc.) and have incredible therapeutic benefits on the body. Plants are the original pharmaceuticals - many medications are based on the molecular structure of plants, after all. Herbal medicine is a powerful, effective, and less toxic way to achieve powerful results.
Nutraceuticals and Orthomolecular Medicine
If possible, I encourage getting your nutrients and medicine from food. However, sometimes supplementation is necessary in order to achieve therapeutic doses that may not be achievable through diet. In addition, our soils are unfortunately becoming depleted of nutrients due to over harvesting and a lack of farming diversity.
Patients will have access to online professional grade dispensary of high quality supplements
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine is an ancient system of medicine utilizing energy and medicines to unblock energy channels and restore the flow of Qi to the body. This restoration of flow allows the body to synchronize and harmonize with the natural rhythms of the world around it.
Acupuncture, acupressure, herbals, foods, and auricular therapy are all examples of this.
Bioresonance & Frequency Medicine
We are all vibration (this isn't hippy stuff - this is quantum science). Bioresonance is the interaction between a living organism and its frequency patterns. By utilizing these frequnecy patterns, we can use non-invasive bio-energetic resonance medicines to restructure the cellular integrity of the body. Some examples are light therapy, sound therapy, homeopathy, frequency specific microcurrent etc.
Prescriptive Rights (British Columbia)
Although I am NOT licensed to prescribe medicine for coaching clients, I am trained and licensed to prescribe pharmaceutics in British Columbia, which has provided me with a foundational knowledge of medications, including their uses, side effects, and interactions with other pharmaceuticals as well as herbs and any of the above listed modalities. Please always disclose any current medications.
Neuroscience, Soul, Gene Keys
I tap into the genetics, ancestry, DNA, and evolutionary biology of you individually and to us as a species. Along with my developed intuition, I use this to better understand how you are functioning in our world and how could be better thriving on a physical and soul level. I use the Gene Keys as a guide.
Biotherapeutic Drainage & Hydrotherapy
I have a special interest & advanced training in molecular detoxification.
Labwork
I often utilize functional lab analysis to help me get a more accurate picture of whats going on in your body. I use both routine and more advanced testing. These may include blood, urine, or saliva All blood work results will be provided to you to take home, and will be reviewed with you.

Functional Genomics & DNA
DNA sequencing allows us to identity unique codes that may directly affect how you experience the world.
Using SelfDecode labs, this test checks DNA variants that affect your health and translate this into a genetic risk score that tells you how your genetic risk compares to others.
With this information, we can truly tailor your approach.
Naturopathic Medicine
Unfortunately, sometimes our symptoms don’t fit into a diagnosis box, and we are left suffering with no answers. This is where naturopathic doctors excel. We act as detectives, taking into consideration all aspects of our patients health (not just the physical), to help identify what could be contributing to the disease process. We strive to discover the root of the problem and to restore the natural balance and function of the body, avoiding the masking of symptoms. Our treatment toolbox is extensive and includes diet and nutrition, lifestyle, functional, eastern, and our western allopathic tools. See here for more information.
Are ND's the same thing as homeopaths?
No. Homeopathy is a modality used by some practitioners, (just like acupuncture, massage, physiotherapy etc) and while Naturopathic Doctors learn some homeopathy in school, our education and training goes way beyond that. Homeopathic doctors soley practice the modality of homeopathy and are not trained in any other aspects of medicine. Naturopathic Doctors are trained in many modalities as well as the Western Sciences and medicine.
Education
Licensed Naturopathic Doctors in British Columbia, Canada, have graduated from one of six accredited colleges in Canada and the United States, and undergo the following training:
- Undergraduate degree with pre-medical studies;
- 4 years study at an accredited naturopathic college;
- over 1500 hours supervised clinical experience;
- 2 sets of licensing board exams;
- ongoing continuing education.
Foundations of My Approach
My medicine is based on a multi layered approach to healing
Just because it's common doesn't mean it's normal.
Are you?
- Waking up feeling anxious, uninspired, or unclear and move through your days with inconsistent energy, insomnia, or focus.
- Dealing with foundational health issues such as allergies, gut issues, hormonal imbalances, eczema or skin problems, anxiety/nervous system dysregulation or immune issues.
- Functioning, but not at your highest level
- Struggling with your mental health. Anxiety, depression, and lack of purpose are your norm.
- Not sleeping, irritable and reactive, and not feeling present or focused.
- Wanting to fully embrace your purpose and passion with a sense of clarity and vision, instead of confusion and scatter.
