Join Dr. Laura Batson, ND for a new 3-Month Program - "Healing Your Gut in an Inflamed World" starting June 10th.

This Program combines naturopathic medicine, community-based ritual gatherings, online teachings, and activism to support Indigenous-led decolonization and Indigenization movements.

WHO SHOULD JOIN? The program is for anyone experiencing chronic gut concerns who feels their symptoms are in response to social, environmental, or historical exposures and stressors — and who wants to take action to heal both within themselves and within the systems around them.

"Laura's courses are everything the world needs right now. Re-membering the ways of nature. Coming together in community to light the 8th fire. Coming together in the gifts and the wisdom. This is life altering communal practice with the needed tools to move towards a pro communal healing world." - Sarah Anne

Join Dr. Batson, ND this Thursday, May 21st at 6:30 pm for her webinar on "Healing Your Gut in an Inflamed World: A Decolonial, Anti-Oppressive Approach".

What if the dysfunctions of your gut are intelligent responses to a dysfunctional world? Most gut healing focuses on what’s happening inside the body. But what if your symptoms are also shaped by the world around you?

REGISTER HERE: thechi.ca/healing-your-gut-in-an-inflamed-world-webinar

This webinar talk reimagines gut health through a wider lens: one that understands the body as inseparable from the social, ecological, political and historical systems it lives within.

Welcome to Dr. Laura Batson, MSc, ND!

Laura is known for helping people come home to themselves in a world that is often pulling us away from who we truly are.

Disease results from this disconnection. She takes a decolonial, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive approach, journeying with folks who are on a path towards greater coherence with themselves, their world, and their purpose in life.

She runs a general practice with a focus on chronic inflammatory conditions, gut-health (SIBO, GERD, IBS, and gut permeability), hormone imbalances, burnout and mental health.
