While Naturopathic Medicine can directly address and treat the symptoms of illness, it really does more by removing any blocks to your health and supporting your body in its own healing and by providing the healthiest way of being. Naturopathic Medicine incorporates many healing modalities and tools including: lifestyle modification, counselling, health education, nutritional intervention, mineral supplementation, homeopathy and herbal medicine.
The following is a list of services and therapies offered.
This involves doing a comprehensive assessment and creating a health plan including lifestyle factors like: diet, exercise, self care and stress management.

Dr. Ferguson has access to several laboratories, allowing for routine blood testing, diagnostic testing and specialty hormonal, systems or food sensitivity and food and environmental allergy testing. NDs are trained in conventional laboratory testing, though current legislation limits our testing through BC laboratories. Labs can be ordered by Naturopathic Physicians, however the cost is not covered by Medicare. We also use many laboratory testing through various labs in Canada and the US, including food sensitivity tests, stool microbiology testing, methylation and genomics tests and many more. Dr. Kellie can also perform a skin prick environmental allergy test and can dispense sublingual desensitization drops.
