HI! I’m Dr. Kelly, a naturopathic doctor practicing in Toronto, Ontario. My passion is providing women the proper testing, education, and tools they need to feel their best when it comes to their hormonal health and fertility.
I remember not understanding a single thing about my hormones and cycles. The first time I heard the word progesterone was in my first year of naturopathic medical school, despite it being one of the most important hormones throughout a woman's life.
If you're like me you probably grew up never knowing that:
Period pain and needing pain relievers every cycle isn't normal
No, you CAN'T get pregnant every day of your cycle
Cervical discharge is not only healthy and normal (no, that's probably not an STI) but an extremely important thing to identify and track if you're trying to get pregnant
Birth control doesn't 'balance hormones', it just shuts them off!
Hearing my patients talk about the lack of education and understanding they were provided about their bodies and hormones is a huge motivator for my practice. I want you to understand your body, your symptoms, and for you to know that you can and do deserve to feel better.
My Approach
My treatment approach is focused on providing individualized care and working alongside my patients to come up with a plan that is sustainable and realistic given their lifestyle. A foundation of my practice is to run in-depth lab work to make sure we’re truly uncovering and addressing the most important factors when it comes to fertility and hormonal health.
I have a clinical focus on treating hormonal health with a particular concentration on PCOS, fertility, and period health.
I use diet and lifestyle medicine, professional supplementation, botanical medicine, and bio-identical hormones as my main treatment tools.
My Education
After graduating from Western University with a Bachelor of Science and an Honours specialization in Kinesiology, I completed a Doctor of Naturopathy (ND) degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.
I am a member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and the Endocrinology Association of Naturopathic Physicians and am in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.
I have my naturopathic prescribing license and I incorporate bioidentical hormone treatment and natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) into my practice.
