Areas of Focus

Certified in Complete Concussion Management.

Concussions are more common than people think — they can happen playing sports, in a car accident, or from a simple fall. Symptoms can affect the whole body: headaches, brain fog, memory and concentration trouble, sensitivity to light and sound, dizziness, and mood changes. And because a concussion is a functional injury, scans like CT and MRI usually look normal — which is why proper assessment matters.

A concussion can heal in about 30 days, but 30–40% become chronic (Post-Concussion Syndrome) when they aren't treated promptly and properly. My holistic protocol is designed to support a fuller recovery and help prevent lingering symptoms:

• Brain-recovery diet to calm inflammation

• Targeted supplements

• Soft-tissue and neck-focused therapies, including the TopSpin360 to train, stabilize, and strengthen the neck (so important after whiplash and concussion)

• Gut-health support, because of the brain–gut connection

• Gradual, guided return to the activities that trigger symptoms

• Mindfulness, breathing, and acupuncture when needed

This is personal for me — I've recovered from two concussions myself, so I understand what you're going through.

Headaches that keep coming back usually have a reason.

Tension headaches, migraines, and post-concussion headaches can have many drivers — neck dysfunction, inflammation, hormones, sleep, stress, and nutrition among them. Rather than only chasing the pain, I work to identify what's setting yours off and address it at the source, using nutrition, physical therapies, targeted supplementation, and stress-management support. Where the neck is involved, TopSpin360 neck rehabilitation may also play a role.

Additional training in autism spectrum disorder — Dr. Petrie has completed a masterclass in autism spectrum disorder to deepen her supportive care for autistic children and their families.

Supporting an autistic child is a family journey, and naturopathic care can be one supportive piece of it. I focus on foundational wellbeing — nutrition, gut health, sleep, and day-to-day quality of life — working alongside your child's existing care team, never in place of it.

My approach is collaborative, respectful, and individualized: no one-size-fits-all protocols and no overpromises, just careful, evidence-informed support aimed at helping your child and your family feel their best.

Support through every season.

From trying to conceive to navigating "the change," your body goes through profound shifts — and you deserve care that takes them seriously. I provide root-cause, holistic support across:

• Fertility — preconception health, cycle regulation, and whole-body preparation for pregnancy

• Perimenopause — addressing the changes that show up long before menopause, even when labs look "normal"

• Menopause — support for symptoms, energy, sleep, mood, and long-term wellbeing

Using clinical nutrition, lifestyle medicine, targeted supplementation, and stress-management techniques, I'll help you understand what's happening in your body and what we can do about it — in collaboration with the rest of your care team.
