Hey, I’m Dr. Ally and this is my story.

Becoming a mother was the most eye-opening, magical, and challenging experience of my life thus far.

I had all the ‘textbook tools’ on how to help moms from my 8 years of post-secondary education, but I had NO IDEA how to really support moms until I became one.

The process of becoming a mom opened my eyes to the gaps in our healthcare system for moms, and I am determined to be part of filling that gap so mothers can really enjoy themselves in motherhood.

Using a combination of clinical and personal experience, I help moms develop the habits they need to love motherhood.

Though I completed a 4 year undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, and a 4 year Naturopathic medical program, NOTHING prepared me to support moms more than becoming a mom myself.

I saw the gap in care after we are ‘discharged’ from care 6 weeks after having our baby (like who is ready for that?!) and the lack of focus on the mom in the first year postpartum.

I saw how hard moms were trying to be ‘the perfect mom’, getting gold stars for constantly putting their needs last. I saw too many moms being told '‘you’re a mom of course you’re tired!”, yet something was actually wrong with their labs and health.

I knew something had to change.

So, I focused my practice and life on supporting moms and I haven’t looked back. I’m honored to have supported hundreds of moms and plan to support hundreds more!

A few fun facts about me

01

My boys are my why, and my everything.

They are the reason I am so dang passionate about helping moms show up as who they want to be during motherhood.

I love coffee. And french fries. Like a lot.

Let’s just clear that one up right away. I’m not the kind of Naturopathic doctor who is going to take away all of your favourite fun foods.

02

My husband and I are both ND’s and we’re busy creating our dream life.

We’ve been together since I was 18, we’ve been through a lot together, and we’re busy creating our dream life while we support other parents to do the same.

04

I used to be a dancer.

And while I still love a good dance class (hello Dance Fit Cardio!), most of the dancing in my life is dancing in the kitchen with my boys.

SAD ☀️ It’s real. We’re coming out of the darkness friends. We did it another year. Get outside and enjoy that sunshine if you can today!
WE NEED TO DO BETTER FOR OUR BOYS 🫶🏼 While I’m learning how to dodge and respond to these comments, they really need to stop! Our boys deserve better. My husband has memories of people saying things like this to his mom, when he was a kid too. I’ve done a lot of learning and unlearning since becoming a mom to all boys. About our stereotypes, the way we talk to boys, the way we put automatic labels on them. The way society treats their emotions and feelings. I’m starting to believe the universe gifted @drrorygibbons and I 3 boys to help raise kind, emotionally intelligent, confident men. Because goodness knows the world needs more of them! Boy mamas - did/do you get these comments too?
“Being a mom” is not a good enough answer in my books for your fatigue, anxiety, painful and heavy periods or any other symptoms for that matter! Does becoming a mother change certain aspects of your health and the way you operate? Yes! Does that mean that you shouldn’t have a thorough work up to rule out any nutrient deficiencies, thyroid and other hormone concerns, etc.? Nope, it sure doesn’t! If you want a thorough look at your health as a mama, and a doable plan to get yourself feeling better, I’ve got you 🫶🏼 I still have a few follow up appointments for the remainder of the year, initial visits are booking into 2024! A free meet and greet is the best place to start if we’ve never met and we’ll get you started on a plan to help make motherhood more enjoyable. xxx Video throwback to my talk at the IGNITE Motherhood Wellness Summit at the beginning of November 🔥 #busymom #motherhood #matresence #healthymoms #momscanchangetheworld #healthymotherhood #postpartum #irondeficiency

MICRO MOMENTS 🫶🏼 A perinatal psychiatrist once taught me the tip / skill of small micro-moments of mindfulness throughout the day, and how effective they can be. 💡Basically you take small tasks you do every day, and use it as a moment to “switch off” your brain for a moment. Allowing you to slow down, take a breath, and check in with yourself. Not thinking about the next thing that needs to be done, just being in the moment. IRL this looks like: ✨you press the button on your coffee maker ✨you close your eyes, or focus on the coffee coming out of the machine ✨ what do you see? what do you smell? can you feel your feet on the floor? ✨ take a couple of deep breaths ✨check in with yourself. What do you need in this moment? Are you thirsty? Have you eaten? Do you need to sit down for a couple minutes? Other activities this can be done with is ✨ hand washing ✨ walking around to the drivers seat after getting your children in their seats ✨ getting your shoes on ✨ brushing your teeth Try it out! I hope it helps slow your busy mama brain, just a little 🫶🏼 #mindfulmama #naturopathformoms #naturopathicdoctor #motherhood #mamamondays #motherhoodcoach
1 to 2 🙃 I’ve recently been reflecting on our transition from 1 to 2 kids. It was HARD. WAY harder than I expected! I personally found the transition from 0-1 far easier! One of the things I desperately tried to do when our youngest was born was to keep things as similar as possible to before he was born, for our oldest. I was driving myself CRAZY trying to do this and it wasn’t working for anyone. I was so grateful for this advice to just let that go, and embrace the change, as this is when I found I was really able to settle into this change of becoming a family of 4. I felt better. My toddler felt better. My relationship with my partner was better. WIN WIN WIN. What was more challenging for you mamas? The transition from 0-1? 1-2? 2-3? Let me know in the comments below! And share this reel with someone who could use this advice 🫶🏼
3️⃣ THINGS I’M DOING IN MY 3RD PREGNANCY 1. Being unapologetic about needing to rest, and really intentionally prioritizing it. I feel the best I have out of all my pregnancies and I really think this has a lot to do with it. 2. Not judging
3️⃣ THINGS I’M DOING IN MY 3RD PREGNANCY 1. Being unapologetic about needing to rest, and really intentionally prioritizing it. I feel the best I have out of all my pregnancies and I really think this has a lot to do with it. 2. Not judging myself for not loving this phase. Finding the glimpses of joy and being okay with that. Pregnancy isn’t a “magical, glowing” time for me, and that’s okay! 3. Protein every 2-3 hours as a non negotiable. This is helping my nausea, and energy to keep up with my boys BIG TIME. Mamas what we’re your best tips for surviving pregnancy with young kids?? #3rdpregnancy #boymama #motherhoodcoach #survivingpregnancy #pregnancynutrition
POST DINNER ROUTINE 🫠 I don’t know about you but those hours from dinner to bedtime seem to feel endless some nights! And it gets really draining tasking during your time after the kids go to bed. Here’s our current routine we do at night that has helped us enjoy the evenings again. Obviously this only works if you have a partner with you during these hours. May your evenings be smoother 🫶🏼 #parenting #parentinghacks #motherhood #motherhoodcoach #langleymoms #healthymoms
