St. Catharines, ON
Most women come to me after being told their labs look normal and their symptoms are just part of aging. I'm a naturopathic doctor and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner who takes the time to investigate what's really going on — and to build a plan that addresses it in the right order, with the kind of follow-through that helps the changes actually hold.

Frequently Asked Questions
The information here is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Consult a licensed healthcare provider about your specific situation.
What is a naturopathic doctor (ND)?
Naturopathic doctors complete a 4-year post-graduate program at an accredited naturopathic medical school. They're regulated health professionals in Ontario, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. NDs use natural therapies — nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, lifestyle counseling — to treat the root cause of health issues.
How much does a naturopath visit cost in St. Catharines?
Initial consultations run $200-$350 (60-90 minutes). Follow-ups are $100-$175 (30-45 minutes). Lab testing is extra ($200-$800 depending on panels). Most employer health benefit plans cover naturopathy, typically $500-$1,000/year.
Is naturopathy covered by insurance?
Most employer health benefit plans cover naturopathic medicine. OHIP does not cover naturopathy. Check your plan for coverage amounts. In regulated provinces (ON, BC, AB, SK, MB), NDs can order lab tests and some costs may be partially covered.
Can a naturopath replace my regular doctor?
Naturopaths complement conventional medicine — they don't replace your family doctor. Many NDs work alongside MDs, especially for chronic conditions. Your ND can communicate with your doctor to coordinate care. For emergencies or acute conditions, always see your MD or go to the ER.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit is typically 60-90 minutes. The ND will take a detailed health history, discuss your diet, lifestyle, and goals, and may do a physical exam. They'll create a personalized treatment plan that might include dietary changes, supplements, herbal medicine, or other natural therapies.
