Our Nurse Practitioner brings advanced medical training together with a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Her experience spans multiple areas of healthcare including intensive care, cardiology, general medicine, and mental health, giving her a well-rounded understanding of complex medical conditions. She is particularly passionate about helping patients improve their health through lifestyle medicine, nutrition, sleep optimization, hormonal balance, and metabolic health.
At Serene Clinic, our nurse practitioner works collaboratively with the naturopathic doctors to provide comprehensive care. By integrating medical diagnostics with natural and lifestyle-based strategies, she supports patients in identifying the root causes of their health concerns and developing practical, sustainable treatment plans. Her approach emphasizes empowering patients with knowledge and tools to take an active
role in their health journey.

What a Nurse Practitioner Does at Serene Clinic:
Our Nurse Practitioner provides medical services that complement naturopathic care.

This integrated approach helps patients access both conventional medical diagnostics and holistic care in one place.
How the Nurse Practitioner Works with Naturopathic Doctors:
At Serene Clinic, the Nurse Practitioner collaborates closely with our naturopathic doctors to ensure patients receive comprehensive and coordinated care. The NP contributes medical expertise and diagnostic support, while naturopathic doctors focus on lifestyle, nutrition, and natural therapies. Together, they provide a more complete and personalized
healthcare experience.
When Patients May See the Nurse Practitioner:
Patients may see the Nurse Practitioner for services such as reviewing test results, addressing medical concerns, or receiving a second opinion. She also works collaboratively with the clinical team to coordinate diagnostics and support continuity of care.
A Naturopathic Doctor (ND) is one who has completed a post-graduate 4 year program in Naturopathic Medicine and has passed multiple theoretical and practical board exams. Their education consists of both conventional and traditional medicines, with a research based approach. NDs provide treatments for any disease or condition, and also focus on preventative care and health maintenance. Although they work very closely with pharmaceuticals, their treatments mostly focus on diet and nutrition, lifestyle management, optimal supplementation, acupuncture, botanical medicine, physical medicine, counselling and homeopathy.
An ND or Doula is someone who will attentively listen to your concerns and develop an individualized treatment plan to cater to your needs. Your practitioner will engage in discussions to educate you about your health issues, assess the advantages and disadvantages of treatment, and promptly address your inquiries. These appointments provide ample time for thorough discussions and meaningful interactions, allowing patients to express themselves, ask questions and gain understanding of their health journeys.
Examples of therapies offered include:
* Physical therapies: Hands-on techniques, massage, cupping
* Relaxation techniques: Breathing techniques, visualizations, positive affirmations, meditation, hydrotherapy, aromatherapy
* Acupressure/Acupuncture
* Herbal medicine and proper supplementation
* Lifestyle modification, exercise planning and nutrition guidance

We look forward to hearing from you!
Services may be claimed through Naturopathy covered under most extended health care benefits plans. Coverage differs for all individuals based on the insurance plan. Doula services as well as Naturopathic appointments can be claimed under insurance.
Choosing when to seek a doula is an individual decision for every family. Whether it is in the first, second or third trimester, it is always an appropriate time to bring on a doula. The most common time to start working with a Doula is in the second trimester.
Having a Doula means having a familiar face every step of the way of your journey. Explanation of medical terminology and medical procedures, informing families on their rights, educating and equipping you with tools and having physical support throughout labour and birth are the areas that families find most helpful. Your Doula can also provide support for elected or spontaneous C-sections.
Women who use a Doula have shorter labours and hospital stays, reduced use of medical interventions, reduced rates of cesarians and less traumatic experiences.
Serene is a team of highly qualified Naturopathic Doctors and Doulas offering expert medical care for each individual. Improve your health and well-being through a holistic lens.
