I’m Melissa.
Welcome
My intention
I am a Naturopathic Doctor & Registered Midwife located Toronto, Ontario Canada. I have spent the last 13 years of my career dedicated to finding the best of the best in health. I have acquired knowledge, experience and information from around the world that I want to make interesting and relevant. Everyone wants to optimize their health. I want to work with people who are ready to be active and are passionate in the areas of health, who have a respect for traditional therapies and who want to move the conversation of what it means to live healthy into a full circle framework.
“I strongly believe that we can integrate traditional therapies into modern health. Traditional therapies can be evidence-based. I recognize the increasing importance that the things we use to heal must have validity to it. I think one must also understand that not everything can be studied too. Not everything can be quantifiable for it to hold value. ”
My experience
I’ve worked in the pharmaceutical industry in pre-clinical trial work, in community health centres providing care to low-income urban areas and specialized populations (i.e. HIV), to the Canadian North and the Netherlands servicing pregnant people and their families, and hiking through India to remote villages for primary care clinics. As a Naturopathic Doctor and a Midwife, I had the opportunities to gain broad exposure to the health care needs of a variety of populations in Canada and abroad.
