**Areas of Expertise:** Hormone Health, Stress Management, Fatigue, Peri/Post - Menopause, Digestion, Metabolic Health, Sleep, Women's Health, IV Therapy At the heart of my work is a core belief that extraordinary health begins with empowerment. I’m committed to giving people the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to care for themselves in a way that feels grounded, informed, and sustainable. I was drawn to naturopathic medicine because it allowed me to combine science, curiosity, and genuine human connection. What excites me most is helping patients uncover the why behind their symptoms and witnessing the shifts that happen when they feel truly understood. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and rooted in clear communication. — I want my patients to feel heard, supported, and involved every step of the way. I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to prevention science, hormone health, and anything related to optimizing daily well being. As a lifelong learner, I’m always diving into new research, courses, and clinical tools to serve my community better. My patients teach me endlessly, and I feel deeply grateful to do work that challenges, inspires, and fulfills me. Outside the clinic, you’ll find me exploring the beauty of Vancouver Island—cycling, traveling, strength training, or hiking with my beagle, Max, who keeps life joyful (and muddy!). I also enjoy writing blogs, newsletters, books and give lectures to make health education more accessible. For new clients, I want you to know: I’m here to partner with you, meet you where you are, and support you in creating vibrant, resilient, and lifelong health. Let’s stay in touch: [www.doctormarita.com] (www.doctormarita.com) [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/drmarita_nd/) **Services Include:** Medication and supplement, prescribing & management, laboratory & functional testing, hormone testing, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), menopause & perimenopause care, Beyond the Scale Program, nutrition & lifestyle counselling, food sensitivity testing, vitamin & nutrient injections, IV therapy, heavy metal testing and chelation therapy, and preventive & longevity medicine
