naturopathic medicine
A natural + holistic approach to healthcare that combines the power of natural medicine and modern scientific research to heal and prevent the dysfunction of health.
We’ll work together to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and transform your health.
naturopathic medicine is:
A holistic approach to healthcare that leverages the combined power of natural medicine and modern scientific research to heal and prevent common health concerns. It goes beyond temporary quick fixes and suppressing symptoms. Instead, Naturopathic Medicine strives to investigate and treat the cause of dysfunction and disease.
The body naturally has an innate ability to heal, especially when provided with the right set of tools such as lifestyle modification, optimal nutrition, herbal medicine and acupuncture. Every person and every BODY is different, so your Naturopathic treatment will be personalized to meet your unique set of needs.
naturopathic medicine is not:
A get healthy quick scheme
A quick fix
A band-aid solution
A one and done supplement
A one-size fits all approach
An all or nothing approach (Yes, we’ll work with your other healthcare providers to integrate your care!)
common concerns treated
what you can expect:
As a Naturopath, my goal is to change the way womxn receive healthcare, especially womxn of colour. Historically, womxn have been denied timely access to thorough investigations and treatments, while instead being told “everything looks normal” or told “it’s just stress” or dismissed altogether without further support.
It’s time to acknowledge that “normal” does not equate to optimal, and “normal” most certainly does not equate to health. When choosing to work with me as your Naturopath, I will ensure you are heard, understood and your symptoms are thoroughly investigated through lab testing and any necessary exams in order to identify and find realistic solutions to the root cause.
You’ve come to the conclusion that your wellness is your priority and you’re ready to invest in your health.
Now what?
-
Start by booking your complimentary 15min consult. We’ll briefly explore your health goals and get you familiarized with the approach I’ll take to guide your health journey. If we both determine we're a great fit, then we'll book your Initial Consultation and you’ll complete an intake form.
All appointments are virtual! So you can relax in the comfort of your home!
-
In the first visit, we'll review your intake form and dive deeper into your health while connecting the dots. We'll explore testing options to help you better understand the factors influencing your health. Testing is not OHIP covered, but may be covered by your insurance provider.
We’ll also get a head start on a treatment strategy that may include a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutrition recommendations and/or nutritional/herbal supplements.
-
During your first follow up consultation, we’ll review your lab results and I’ll explain what each detail on your lab report means. With the knowledge gained from the combination of your lab results, symptoms and health history, we’ll further refine your treatment strategy to restore your health.
-
This is where we check in to assess your progress and help keep you accountable to ensure you stay on track. Changing health behaviours happens over time and can be challenging. No problem if you veer from the plan, we are human and life happens. But let's explore that and get you back on track.
-
Data is our friend and the proof is in the numbers! We’ll be repeating your labs between your third and fourth appointment. During your fourth visit we’ll review your results and track your progress. We may modify your treatment plan again depending on your progress up until this point.
-
With your fifth and sixth follow up, we are able to continually work on restoring your health while tracking your progress, holding you accountable, smoothing out any challenges along the way and modifying your treatment plan as needed.
Once your health is restored and your goals are met, we will transition you into a maintenance plan, which will require much less frequent visits unless a new concern arises.
Sickness does not happen overnight and nor does health. Expect to hang out with me over the course of 6 appointments.
