Meet The Kindest Naturopath in Toronto

Naturopathic medicine is the treatment and prevention of diseases through natural remedies. Naturopathic doctors evaluate & treat the whole person. Compared to conventional medicine, naturopaths take into consideration physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual, instead of just focusing on the symptoms.
Through naturopathy, gentle, non-invasive techniques are generally used to stimulate the body’s inherent healing capacity. Treatment modalities include botanical medicine, homeopathy, herbs and/or acupuncture, physical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and nutritional coaching.

Your first visit with Dr. Krsitie at Aches Away Toronto is just like an interview.

During the first consultation, our naturopath will review your health history and explore your concerns. If it’s okay with you, we will conduct related physical examinations during the initial consultation as well.

Dr. Kristie will also ask you detailed questions about your diet and physical activity.

Most importantly, she will like to hear about your lifestyle, social setting, and support systems. Your home, work environments, and primary relationships will be important considerations for your personalized health plan.

Dr. Kristie’s goal is to actively listen as you share your story, build trust, and establish a connection with you to create the ultimate naturopathy treatment plan for you.

Based on her findings, the naturopathic doctor will work with you during your next appointment to develop a customized treatment plan.

After booking an appointment with Dr. Kristie, she will email you an intake form and consent form. Please complete it before your appointment. We strongly encourage you to bring any previous lab work or test results to the initial visit.

Yes. You have the option of doing in-person or virtual appointments upon booking. It’s highly encouraged to have your first appointment in-person, so that appropriate examinations can be completed if necessary.

I received my medical license from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. Before this, I went to Western University in London, ON where I completed my HBHSc.

My main motivation for becoming the professional I am stems from personal experience. I had felt unwell for years and because I looked “normal”, and my labs were “normal”, I never felt understood. I was constantly dismissed and felt that I had lost the ability to live a normal life. After years of struggling, I went to medical school and made it my mission to ensure that everyone feels heard and understood no matter how they feel.

I want each of my patients to regain control of their lives. To no longer feel like their disease defines them, or what they can and can’t do. I want to teach them that there is always something they can do to improve how they feel. It’s about showing them that they are in control of their lives, not their disease. Empowerment to take control of their health is a big focus of care.

Driven, adventurous, compassionate.
