Personalized, science-based naturopathic care
One of the great benefits of naturopathic care is the ability to get to know our patients individually; their stresses and anxieties, health challenges and unique needs.
Whether my patients are coming to see me for hormonal, mood, or sleep problems, have a more complicated concern like chronic or ‘long COVID’ fatigue syndromes, fibromyalgia, an autoimmune disorder, or who are concerned about familial disease risk(s), my goal is the same, to develop an individual treatment plan so we can achieve the best outcomes possible.
This can all be accomplished without the need to take a handful of supplements every day, or do expensive 'functional' testing that won't significantly change your treatment.
A collaborative approach
Responsible naturopathic care should collaborate with other members of your health care team. This ensures that all the things you are doing to improve your health are working cooperatively.
I may be your ideal ND if:
You would like to discuss natural approaches based on current naturopathic best practices and evidence-informed care based on sound science.
You would like to learn how to manage your health in a sustainable way.
You want an ND who will work in cooperation with your family doctor, nurse practitioner or specialist(s), and your current medications.
You currently live in Ontario or Quebec.
About Dr. Marianne
I am a naturopathic doctor registered with College of Naturopaths of Ontario who has been in practice since 2006. I'm originally from BC, and did my ND training at Bastyr University in Seattle, WA, where we are learn primary care medicine with a preventative focus.
In practice, I focus on patients with complex pain and hormonal issues, including endometriosis, PCOS, PMDD, menopausal problems, as well as pelvic and bladder pain syndromes in patients of all ages. My practice also works with digestive and autoimmune disorders, including, IBS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and now long-COVID. I'm trained in trauma-informed, queer/trans care, and from my own multi-cultural, neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ family bring a unique understanding of patients from a variety of backgrounds.
Since 2018, I've been balancing my clinical work with being Editor-in-Chief of CAND Journal, the professional journal of the Canadian Naturopathic Association, which is now online. I've written for several peer-reviewed Integrative medical journals and I have my own blog here.
I support and practice whole food/plant-based eating for good health and disease prevention, as well as being more sustainable for our environment and the health of our planet, and am happy to discuss where this approach may fit into your current life.
If you are interested in learning more, or whether my practice is the right fit for your particular condition or health goals, I encourage you to book a complimentary consult through my portal or connect with me on Instagram, Threads or Facebook @drmariannet
