On this day 20 years ago (Twenty!!!), I graduated from naturopathic medical school wearing this gown and carrying big dreams for the future.
At the time, I thought I’d learned so much. What I’ve discovered over the last two decades is that this work continues to teach me every single day.
My patients, colleagues, ongoing education, and life itself have all shaped me in ways I never could have imagined back then.
Twenty years later, I feel grateful for where this journey has taken me, and even more excited for what I still have yet to learn! ~ Dr. Alexis

A quiet little entrance into care 🌿

We want our space to feel healing before your appointment even begins. ✨

Today we honour and remember Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+). We acknowledge the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the ongoing impact of colonial violence.

This day is not only about remembrance, but about raising awareness, listening to Indigenous voices, and committing to meaningful action and justice.

Every life mattered. Every story matters.

Big bowl energy 🥗✨

Anyone else like to eat their salad out of a big bowl?? When it comes to nourishing your body, sometimes more really is more. A giant salad bowl isn’t just a vibe—it’s a reminder that whole, vibrant foods deserve to take up space on your plate (and in your life).

Think: crisp greens, colourful veggies, healthy fats, quality protein, and all the textures that make eating feel satisfying—not restrictive.

Your health shouldn’t feel like deprivation—it should feel like abundance!

Happy Spring Equinox 🌸

Today marks a moment of balance in nature, equal light and dark, day and night. It’s a gentle reminder that our health thrives on balance too.

Here’s to a season of renewal, growth, and feeling your best 🌿✨
