• Specific programs for weight loss, healthy aging, detoxification and cleansing, childhood nutrition, healthy pregnancy, nutrition for athletes and pre and post-surgery protocols are offered.

Her interest in physical fitness and exercise physiology led Dr. Brown to complete her undergraduate degree in physical education. She then went on to complete her 4-year naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University in Seattle with a special interest in the area of healthy aging, women’s health issues and clinical nutrition.

She loves the great outdoors and thoroughly enjoys hiking, camping, sea kayaking and scuba diving in the coastal waters of beautiful British Columbia. She believes that activity and having fun encourage optimal health and vitality!
