About Hannah
Naturopathic Doctor & Clinic Owner
Hi, I’m Hannah.
My first priority, as your Naturopath, is to make sure you feel heard and understood. I believe that doing so is essential for building trust between us; which will help us to work together towards your optimal health. To achieve this, I take the time to hear your story and truly listen to all that you have to say. I feel that it is very important to make sure you know that you are in a safe and comfortable environment in my office. I want you to feel open to talk to me about anything that will help you to heal.
I also want to make sure you know that I truly care about you. Your well-being and health goals are important to me. I want you to feel supported and be able to work together with me to create a treatment plan that you feel confident in. I also want to help you gain confidence in yourself and what you are capable of achieving in your search for wellness. I will not be healing or curing you. You will be healing yourself. I act as a guide, support and enthusiastic cheerleader along the way, so you definitely won’t be alone on this journey. Naturopathic medicine is not usually the “easy” route, but the efforts you put in can evolve into longterm health that is well worth it.
I’m a light-hearted and open-minded individual. I believe that laughter and fun are two of the greatest medicines we have in this world. I am very caring and empathetic. I can assure you, no matter who you are or what you say, I’m not going to judge you. I’m going to strive to understand you and see things from your perspective. I feel that compassion and acceptance are two key factors for healing, I can give you both of those things. This will help you to see that you deserve to feel good, happy and healthy. I want to help you to see that you can accomplish your goals, because you can.
Education
I attended McMaster University, where I got my Bachelor of Science degree and then went onto get my Doctorate of Naturopathy in 2017, at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
I was on the Paediatrics shift during my clinical internship and I have completed my Naturopathic Doula training (although I do not practice as a doula or offer these services), which has allowed me to gain more experience in treating those who are pregnant, babies and children. That being said, I truly love to treat all people in all phases of life, so come one an all!

About Lindsay
Naturopathic Intern
Hi, I’m Lindsay!
I’m an Orillia-born, fourth year naturopathic intern studying at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. My philosophy when it comes to your health is that you don’t have to live in discomfort — bloated, anxious, tired, in pain… This doesn’t have to be your ‘normal’. I understand what it’s like to have your concerns minimized by the medical system, and I strive to treat you like the whole human that you are. I believe in meeting you where you’re at, and also looking at the ‘bigger picture’ to understand how you got to this place. My goal is to help you navigate your current experience, while simultaneously implementing healthy habits + prompting self-reflection so that we can keep you healthy in the long-term. Prior to my naturopathic studies, I earned both my Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees in Human Health + Nutritional Sciences from the University of Guelph. I really look forward to working alongside Dr. Hannah and helping you achieve your health goals and live optimally!

About Amy

Hi I’m Amy,
I offer individual counselling and psychotherapy. In working with you I take an integrative, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach and draw from mind and body based techniques and modalities, both evidenced based and holistic. I have a special love for helping others explore their tools for resilience and healing, stress, nervous system regulation, emotional awareness and processing, and holding a safe space to work through whatever you are navigating. It’s important to me that you feel safe, heard and supported and I endeavour to do so in an empathetic and caring way. I will guide you to be reflective of your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and see you as the expert of You. Whatever brings you to our sessions, I will meet you there. I graduated from the University of Guelph in 2000 and from York University with Honours in Nursing Science in 2004. In the past I have specialized in women’s health and chronic disease; counselling mental/emotional wellbeing has been a common thread. I have extensive clinical experience caring for adults across the lifespan in various healthcare settings. I have additional training in yoga, mindfulness, somatic psychology, motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioural therapy. Whether you are navigating anxiety, stress, low mood or esteem, relationship difficulties, loss or trauma recovery -I look forward to working with you on your wellness journey.
