Naturopathic Medicine
Holistic Health.
Welcome!
Are you frustrated with your health? Are you frustrated with the answers from your regular doctor? Are you looking for holistic solutions? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place!
What is patient centered holistic medicine?
By treating patient holistically using both modern medicine and traditional medicine and using Eastern and Western philosophies in holistic healing, Dr. Ellerie focuses on identifying root causes of health imbalances as well as symptomatically treating. The goal isn’t to suppress the body, but to create an environment in which the body can heal. It’s important that you feel better too!
Dr. Ellerie actively listens to a patient’s whole story. Having studied multiple systems of medicine means that there’s a lot more options than conventional medicine. Patients are given holistic treatments that include dietary and nutrition advice, stress management techniques, nutraceuticals, herbalism, homeopathy and lifestyle changes. Dr. Ellerie also has other options when it comes to labwork. She can both ordinary labwork but also specialty functional labwork that looks deeper into digestion, hormones, food intolerances, and nutrient status.

Common complaints Dr. Ellerie hears from new patients:
- “My current doctor won’t listen to my whole story.”
- “My doctor won’t run the labs or imaging I need.”
- “My doctor dismissed my symptoms.”
- “My doctor has given me meds and no other options.”
- “I have tried everything and nothing is working.”
Dr. Ellerie didn’t want to be a doctor until she learned about Naturopathic medicine. After working as a Biomedical Engineer in hospitals she became disillusioned with conventional medicine. Believing in a better way for patients to regain health, she wanted to be part of the solution not part of the system. When she discovered Naturopathic medicine she decided to become a doctor. Many people think holistic medicine is ‘alternative’ but in reality holistic medicine looks at the foundations of health (diet, stress management, water intake, sleep) and then goes beyond to understand why the body is in a state of imbalance. Instead of alternative medicine, Naturopathic medicine could be called ‘common sense medicine’.
