Dr. Hannah Bartol
Naturopathic Doctor and Clinic Owner
​
My focus in practice is treating the underlying (or root cause) of disease in the body. This varies on a case by case basis, as everyone is unique. I treat the whole person, not just a symptom, disease, or diagnosis. I take great pride in providing our community with high-quality, patient-centered care and health education.
I enjoy getting to the root cause of all cases as a primary care physician, though I have a particular interest in treating stress, fatigue, anxiety, digestive concerns, and hormone imbalances.
Prior to pursuing the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine- Boucher campus, I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Suffolk University in 2013.
I am registered and in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC)., and am a member of the British Colombia's Naturopathic Doctors (BCND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND).​
When I'm not working, I enjoy hiking, identifying local herbs, practicing yoga, going to the beach, baking, and spending time with my family and friends.

Dr. Michele Black
Naturopathic Doctor
As a Naturopathic Physician and mother of two, I practice comprehensive family medicine. I believe in finding the root cause of illness and using the healing power of nature to support the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of wellness and healing. I understand that each individual member of a family influences the other in a multitude of ways and that the health and wellness of every member of the family is important through all ages and stages of development.
I am passionate in providing primary care to families and empowering and educating my patients to take control of their health. I strive to provide a safe space for my patients to express their health concerns and wellness goals while giving support and providing strategies to reach their health potential. I provide knowledge which allow my patients to make informed decisions about their health, as well as provide comprehensive treatment plans and wellness strategies formulated from up to date scientific research and clinical experience, which are tailored to each person’s individual needs.
​
Different assessment tools such as blood, stool or urine testing and well as physical exams may be utilized to allow for an informed diagnosis. I focus on strengthening the foundations of health through nutrition and lifestyle modifications which can accelerate healing and prolong health.
Treatment therapies that I utilize are counselling and mindfulness coaching, nutrition and lifestyle management, nutraceuticals, herbal medicine, homeopathy and acupuncture.
I have a passion for Psycho-Neuro-Immunology with a focus on, but not limited to mood, hormones, bain health, digestive health, and immune health.

Dr. Francisco Durón
Naturopathic Doctor
​
In a healthcare system that often feels rushed, I am committed to providing a calm space where you feel heard and supported. I believe meaningful improvement happens through strong therapeutic relationships, identifying the underlying causes of concerns, and co-creating treatment plans that align with your lifestyle, values, and health goals.
My areas of interest include mental and cognitive health, digestive health, environmental medicine, and musculoskeletal conditions. I take a bio-psycho-social approach to care, offering treatment modalities such as lifestyle counselling, clinical nutrition, orthomolecular therapy, environmental load clearance, botanical medicine, health psychology, and pharmaceuticals when appropriate.
Prior to completing my Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 2015.
I am registered and in good standing with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC).
Outside of clinical practice, I enjoy spending time outdoors, traveling, and connecting with family and friends.
