Chronic pain starts from inside your body and I’d love to be the “health detective” to help you figure out where it’s originating from. The goal in Naturopathic Medicine is to stimulate the healing power of the body, in the most natural way possible. Naturopathic Medicine takes into account all aspects of an individual’s health, including physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. This begins with a thorough discussion of what you’re experiencing, what may have got you there, and an in-depth dive into lab work and imaging you may have completed. This helps to put the puzzle pieces together in determining the root cause of your symptoms and to design a treatment plan around that cause. Treatments could include diet and lifestyle changes, herbal medicine, supplements, bioidentical hormones, or natural desiccated thyroid hormone. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account personal treatment preference, safety, medications that could interact with natural products, and scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of the treatment. Both acute and chronic conditions in people of all ages can be treated effectively with Naturopathic Medicine.

Hi, I’m Dr. Melyssa and I’m a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Ontario Canada.

I am so incredibly fortunate to absolutely love what I do! I spend my time working with people who are not reaching their full potential and living the lives they deserve to live because of pain and low energy, specifically those suffering from fibromyalgia. I am often asked why I love working with those with fibromyalgia so much, despite not having the condition myself. This passion comes from my own journey and health challenges.

​For a long time, I suffered from debilitating migraines, constant pain, and I was always tired. Despite never being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I was having trouble functioning. I struggled to go to work, attend school, and have a social life. I felt like complete garbage. I saw doctor after doctor and was prescribed pain killers, anti-inflammatory medications, I had brain scans and blood tests, and in the end, I was told that they couldn’t find anything wrong with me. My options were pain relieving medications or suffer through it.

​I felt discouraged. How could I feel this way and there be nothing wrong with me? I didn’t feel normal, so why were all my tests indicating that I was? I wasn’t willing to accept the fact that I would have to live this way for the rest of my life. I was in my early 20s and hoped I had many more years left to live, but I didn’t want to feel like this. By chance, I stumbled across naturopathic medicine and made my first appointment with a naturopathic doctor. She was so much different from other doctors I’d seen. She spent time getting to know me and the tests she used were different from the ones I’d been through already. She determined that I had an imbalance in my gut bacteria and recommended that I change my diet, take herbs to kill the bad bacteria, and a probiotic supplement to replenish the good bacteria. We worked on stress management and practicing healthy lifestyle habits like sleeping regularly and exercising more. After several months of seeing her, my pain levels were much lower, I had more energy, and I’ve been migraine-free ever since! I can only imagine what my life would have been like had I not continued searching for answers.

In my training and in working with people suffering from Fibromyalgia, I see that same spark that I had when I was not thrilled with my medical options. You are ambitious, talented, brilliant, and you have important messages and gifts to share with the world. You are the change-seeker that the world is missing. You are destined for more than suffering and struggling to get out of bed every day, but your symptoms are stopping you from getting there. That’s not normal and it’s not ok. You don’t have to settle for this. You have options. Lots of them. I work with people with Fibromyalgia just like you to achieve health goals you may never have thought possible. It is so rewarding and I can’t wait to see what you accomplish.
