Hello and Welcome! I’m Annika Vels, a Naturopathic Doctor registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. I studied at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I completed an internship at Sherbourne Health Centre serving the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in downtown Toronto. Additionally, I am currently completing my certification as a Naturopathic Doula.

I am passionate about providing inclusive and trauma-informed healthcare, while empowering patients to be confident about taking charge of their own health. I believe in honest and clear communication, and in keeping my therapeutic decisions focused on my patients needs and preferences. I strive to create an environment where patients can be comfortable being vulnerable, and feel heard and supported.

Balancing evidence-based medicine with a holistic approach, I enjoy working with patients on a wide range of health concerns including but not limited to fertility, prenatal care, sports medicine, hormonal health, digestive health, and mental health. In my practice, I use various treatment modalities including nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle modification to develop an individualized, long-term health plan for each patient. I believe in the importance of integrating mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical factors into treatment.
