Dr. Nicole van Poelgeest is a naturopathic doctor who approaches your wellbeing with the philosophy that health is not simply the absence of disease. She works alongside you to restore equilibrium to body, mind, and spirit and believes that when these elements are balanced, one begins to feel what it truly means to be healthy: to have vitality in one’s life and to feel whole. Keeping this paradigm in mind, she has a passion for women’s health, acting as an advocate and ally in the periods of transition unique to menopause, fertility & parenthood (including fertility concerns & perinatal care), and providing treatment options for PMS, menstrual issues, endometriosis, and PCOS. Additionally, Nicole works with autoimmune conditions, allergies, digestive issues, skin problems, and naturopathic cancer support. Integrating the wisdom of traditional medicines with current research, she uses herbal, nutritional, and when necessary, pharmaceutical remedies to tailor treatment to the individual. While naturopathic doctors are trained in a variety of therapeutic interventions, Nicole’s clinical interest lies in herbal medicine, nutrition, IV treatment, acupuncture, and the mind/body connection. She uses these therapies to co-create customized health plans with her patients. Visits can be conducted in working level French. Please note that new patients have the option to book a Telehealth first appointment to ensure they are able to find a time slot in Nicole’s schedule. Subsequent visits can be in person or by telehealth as per patient preference. Visit her website to learn more
