Are you always waking up with a sleepy head? You know, that groggy feeling that lasts throughout the day. Waking up with a dry mouth and headache and feeling unenergized and unable to function while at work, school, or at home could be pointing to something more serious.
Don’t ignore the signs: Sleep apnea is a chronic condition that afflicts more than 5.4 million Canadian adults and can lead to significant health complications.
Luckily, Snore MD is here to help sleep apnea sufferers on Vancouver Island with proven results using modern technology and the knowledge that will help you experience better sleep, better life.
Our team of sleep experts knows what it takes to treat your sleep apnea and snoring. That’s because we are experts in the field. Our clinicians include registered respiratory therapists, nurses, and other health care professionals who have studied every aspect of sleep: from symptoms to treatment using the latest sleep equipment, including CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy.
We welcome you to visit our Dream Team and take a look at our state-of-the-art CPAP equipment. Together, we will get to the root of your sleep issue and find the solution that works for your lifestyle.
My drive to help others brought me into the wonderful world of healthcare, specifically becoming a Registered Respiratory Therapist. I knew a career in sleep was for me when I saw the huge improvements in so many areas of my patients’ lives, and having the ability to follow them long-term and develop such a great rapport with them is so rewarding.
My biggest accomplishment in life is moving from Edmonton AB (where I lived almost all my life) to Victoria BC, with my wonderful husband and fur babies, to pursue my passion of working with the best team to give the best treatment to my patients.
What I love most about working with patients is seeing how happy they become when they start to get a good sleep. I love hearing all their stories about all the things they can do now, and hearing how I changed their lives and the lives of the family and friends around them.
I believe sleep is one way to achieve quality of life. Since sleep is underrated, I want to share how important it is to have the right kind of sleep to ensure body repair, health, and ultimately get the most out of each day.
My biggest accomplishment is moving to Canada with my husband and daughter and starting fresh when we were at the peak of our careers. With the move comes a career shift in a field that I am highly interested in.
I love hearing patient stories and knowing I am able to help them in whatever way I can. Knowing that they trust me enough to listen to what I have to say makes me also want to better myself each time.
I have always felt a fascination for the human body and of all the systems the Central Nervous System seems extraordinary to me. Sleep is a physiological process involved in many functions of the central nervous system including memory, which is one of my favorite areas of study.
My greatest accomplishment is having overcome each of my fears and coming to live and work in a country like Canada.
I love to connect with other human beings, listening to them, and trying to find the best solution to their problems together. I believe that every human being is unique and extraordinary!
