Who am I?
I’m Dr. Shannon Ruse, a Naturopathic Doctor passionate about helping you achieve your health goals through evidence-informed, integrative medicine. I’m a firm believer that health is more than just your physical symptoms—it’s about understanding the emotional, social and environmental factors that contribute to your well-being.
I want to help you see the bigger picture when it comes to your health now, and help you work proactively for a healthy future.
What is naturopathic medicine?
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic healthcare model that combines traditional therapies with modern, evidence-based interventions. It focuses on lifestyle and behavioural changes in disease processes, and integrative and natural therapies to support symptom or chronic disease management.
