A native of northern Ontario, C.M. Gibson is happy to finally be back. After spending most of her childhood in southern Manitoba, and her high school years in southern Ontario, she went to McMaster University to earn a degree in Biology. But her heart was always in the north. She spent her summers volunteering at Dorion Bible Camp, recharging on weekends with her grandparents in Nipigon, and came to Lakehead for her Bachelor of Education. After 6 years teaching high school across Canada and overseas, she decided she wanted to help people in a way that she wasn’t able to, as a teacher. While searching for a way to get to the root of her own health issues, she discovered Naturopathic Medicine. And so began another round of schooling, this time in Toronto at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. It was worth it! Having seen what naturopathy was able to do for her, she is excited to begin helping others. She hopes to be a true family doctor, seeing patients from birth to end of life. She has a particular interest in treating eczema, allergies, autism, and behavioural disorders; digestive issues and food sensitivities; autoimmune disorders, including thyroid issues; fatigue, stress and mental health; hormone imbalances; and obesity and diabetes. She also loves using natural medicine to treat common ailments like colds and flus, sprains and strains - and teaching her patients how to care for themselves and their families. Her passions are preventing illness by optimizing health, natural options to improve fertility and birth outcomes, and providing hope for those with eating disorders and food addiction. She uses primarily nutrition, lifestyle, herbs, homeopathic medicine, massage, and hydrotherapy. She also offers acupuncture and is able to prescribe bioidentical hormones.
