Dr. Scarlett Cooper is a licensed naturopathic doctor in the province of British Columbia.  With a strong background in nutrition, Dr. Cooper works with patients to build a foundation for health, complementing dietary and lifestyle approaches with additional naturopathic treatments including herbal medicine, acupuncture, IV therapy and homeopathy.  Dr. Cooper enjoys working with all patients who are interested in improving their health; in her clinical practice she has particular interest in women's health, children’s health, digestive conditions, hormone balance, and stress management.

Growing up on Saltspring Island in a family with an appreciation for wholesome diet and natural medicine inspired Dr. Cooper to study Nutritional Science at the University of British Columbia.  When health concerns encouraged her to seek naturopathic treatment and addressing the root cause resulted in a true cure, she felt motivated by her doctor's holistic approach.  After earning a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Nutritional Science at UBC, she went on to graduate from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario and returned home to the West Coast to pursue a rewarding career in naturopathic medicine.  After practicing for 10 years at Bodhi Tree Wellness Centre in the Clayton Heights area of Surrey BC, Dr. Cooper relocated to beautiful Vancouver Island and moved her clinical practice to Island Integrative Health in Nanaimo, BC.   She offers in person appointments as well as virtual appointments where suitable for convenience and to serve patients in more remote areas of British Columbia.

While at CCNM, Dr. Cooper completed her clinical internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic in Toronto, including the Pediatrics Specialty Shift; an externship at the Oakville Naturopathic Clinic; and a naturopathic medical brigade with Natural Doctors International in Ometepe, Nicaragua.  She was thrilled to have the opportunity to provide naturopathic care to these communities while gaining invaluable experience which informs her ongoing practice.

Dr. Cooper has always been passionate about the academic aspect of naturopathic medicine.   She has frequently taught Nutrition and supervised in the teaching clinic at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, as she finds it incredibly rewarding to work with students while contributing to her profession.  Dr. Cooper has also appeared as a guest on The Lynda Steele Show on CKNW News Talk 980 AM, discussing topics that are relevant to naturopathic medicine and the general public.

Dr. Cooper is a member in good standing of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia, the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, and BC Naturopathic Doctors.  She is also board certified in Acupuncture, IV Therapy, and Pharmacy.

Born and raised on the West Coast, Dr. Cooper nourishes her roots with as much time spent outdoors as the rain will allow. As part of her own self-care, Dr. Cooper has maintained a lifelong personal yoga practice, and earned her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training Certificate from Semperviva Yoga in Vancouver, BC.  She is also an avid long distance trail runner, and enjoys mountain biking, hiking, dancing, yoga, spending time with her husband and young son, and having endless adventures in the kitchen.
