Introducing
Dr. Wendy is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor who has been practicing for over 9 years. She is a primary care provider who diagnoses, treats acute and chronic health conditions, and focuses on preventative and root cause medicine. She completed her medical training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine (BINM) and has a Bachelor of Science from the University of Alberta.
Dr. Wendy is passionate about both naturopathic and aesthetic medicine. She particularly loves bridging the gap between the two by using the body's natural processes to help people glow naturally from the inside, out. She uses many different modalities including clinical nutrition and lifestyle counselling, herbal medicine, vitamins & supplements, intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) injections including iron infusions, nutrition and chelation therapy, and
functional lab and nutrigenomic testing.
She is a life-long learner and constantly learning new treatment modalities, and going to
conferences to keep her knowledge and skills current. She also enjoys teaching and giving back to the profession. She is a teaching assistant of the College (CCHPBC) approved Aesthetic PRP Injection Training course.
When not working at the clinic, she can be found hiking on trails around the Lower Mainland or appreciating gourmet food with friends and family. Dr. Wendy has authored several articles on natural health topics, and also co-authored a book titled "Authentic Chinese Smart Carb Cookbook" (She loves food!).
Dr. Wendy is a member in good standing of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the British Columbia Naturopathic Association (BCNA).
