Pronouns: She/Her/Hers

Your period and hormones can feel like your nemesis because you experience incredibly painful cramps, lots of bloating, exhaustion, heavy bleeding and worse yet, you haven’t fallen pregnant. Your body is letting you down and everyone around you is telling you that “it’s normal” and to “just relax because you’re too stressed”. Dr. Moira has struggled with all of these personally, and as a result has made it her life’s mission to help other women and people with ovaries feel seen and heard, and work together towards a more normal menstrual experience that optimises fertility health as well.

Dr. Moira has many years of clinical focus on hormones, endometriosis and fertility. Many of her patients struggle with incredibly painful periods, bloating, fatigue and often suspect that “something is wrong”. They also tend to struggle with getting pregnant and don’t know where to focus their attention when it comes to the myriad of natural fertility options out there.

She guides her patients to a better understanding of their bodies, hormones and overall health, and how all of the puzzle pieces of symptoms and test results click together to help create an achievable plan to optimise their periods and fertility. She does this through the research-based use of nutrition, supplements, hormone therapy and acupuncture.

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.

For In-Person Consultations, please call to book

Patients often feel as though their hormones are taking over their life. Dr. Laura believes your hormones should propel you forwards, not backward. She sees time and time again that women and people who menstruate put up with their PMS, painful periods and heavy bleeding because they think it’s ‘normal’. Dr. Laura knows that you deserve better – you have the right to look and feel your best every day of the month.

Dr. Laura has a special clinical focus on hormones, thyroid concerns, PCOS and fertility. Many of her patients struggle with unwanted weight gain, fatigue, hair loss and irregular cycles; all of these symptoms can point to an underlying thyroid disorder or PCOS diagnosis. She shares her personal story and expertise in her book, My PCOS Pregnancy: Your Guide to Getting and Staying Pregnancy with PCOS.

She believes in patient-centered care and getting to the root cause of patients’ health concerns. From PMS to menopause, she believes patients deserve better care and clear answers to their health questions. Patients rely on her unique, evidence-based approach to help fix hormone imbalances, banish PMS and ease them through the transition to menopause. Hormones should not get in the way of life. Instead, they should propel patients into a state of optimal functioning.

Before becoming an ND, Dr. Laura completed an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at Queen’s University and a Master’s in Clinical Anatomy at Western University. She further pursued her interest in women’s health on a CIDA Maternal and Newborn Care internship in Africa. Outside of the clinic, she loves to spend her free time biking and running outdoors. Dr. Laura von Hagen, ND is also a board member for Conceivable Dreams.

Dr. Ashley White is a pioneering force in weight loss medicine. Certified in emergency and family medicine in Canada, and a diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Dr. White brings a wealth of diverse clinical experience, courage and creativity to her practice.

Dr. White spent the first five years of her medical practice in very rural Ontario, doing emergency, family, addictions, palliative, aesthetic and hospitalist medicine. For the past two years, she has focused on emergency medicine at Hamilton Health Sciences while refining her cutting-edge yet evidence-based approach to “weight loss the right way”. She has coined several key concepts that resonate deeply with patients, including appetite literacy and regulation over restraint.

At Clarity Health Burlington, Dr. White collaborates with naturopathic doctors to offer patients a truly integrative approach to weight management and overall wellness. Her practice stands at the intersection of conventional and complementary medicine, body and mind, innovation and evidence, leveraging diverse medical philosophies to help patients heal, grow and thrive.

Believing that patients are their own best guides, Dr. White developed The Shift Program, a signature system of transformation available worldwide online. Learn more at www.TheShift.Clinic.

The Shift Program is a companion to course takers as they work with their own doctors and NPs to lose weight the right way. This 3-month Program elegantly solves the dual problem of public misinformation about obesity and lack of capacity in family medicine to help patients lose weight without losing their vitality.

Dr. White’s unique ability to zoom in and out of cases, coupled with her passion for helping patients make sense of themselves, sets her apart. While she utilizes the common clinical pillars of weight loss, such as behaviour change, medications, surgery and nutrition, she coaches patients to see their own capacity for change in the direction of their values. Her work exemplifies the power of breaking down traditional medical silos, fostering collaboration across disciplines, and continuously evolving practice methods to better serve patients.
