Dr. Dominique Vanier BScH, MEnvSC, ND

Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Digestive issues are all-consuming and impact quality of life. Patients with digestive issues feel confused, frustrated, and often end up with more questions than answers. They feel that their digestive challenges can affect other systems in their body, including hormones, sleep, and mood. To make matters more complicated, patients typically find it difficult to identify patterns or triggers that cause digestive flare-ups.

Dr. Dominique Vanier has a special clinical focus on digestive issues, and hormones including thyroid disorders, menstrual issues, PMS, and menopause. She is particularly interested in how the gut can affect hormones, the nervous system, immune health, and autoimmunity, and includes supportive gut treatment and therapies in all her patient’s treatment plans.

Dr. Dominique Vanier has completed several continuing education courses including the 2-day LP3 (Medisca) Personalized Hormone Restoration Therapy intensive for medical doctors and the 12-hour Menopausal Hormone Therapy (MHT) course through the Confident Clinician. Her main goal is not only to get to the root cause of her patient’s hormonal and health concerns but to enable them to regain control of their health and thrive.

Before becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Dominique completed a bachelor of science (honours) in Chemistry from Queen’s University and a Masters of Environmental Science from the University of Toronto. She is currently actively involved in her naturopathic community as the Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors.
