Often those who are considering Naturopathic care aren't aware that a naturopathic doctor in Vancouver can also write prescriptions. Some of the most potent medicines in use today are all derived from natural sources, and a naturopathic doctor seeks out these remedies for their patients based on each individual's needs.

When it comes to prescription writing, consultations between the doctor and patient will include reviewing medical history and lab results.

They are highly trained in natural medicines, including bespoke tinctures, vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as other traditional medicines. They can help you with a variety of chronic illnesses, such as cancer.

An award winning Vancouver Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Martha Reid provides exceptional care to all who enter her space. Martha marries a keen understanding of biochemistry, physiology and science with the need for joy, fulfillment and spirit so that her patients walk out healthier and happier than when they arrived. Every single time.

As a former bartender, she listens without judgement. She gives you the freedom to be exactly who and how you are. Which means, you get to have your cake and eat it too. She’ll just tell you how to make it that much healthier! There’s a crucial moment when working with her patients that Dr. Reid know she’s done her job. And it sounds like this: “Wow! You totally get me!”

When she’s not seeing patients or passionately teaching one of her complimentary public health seminars, you can find her dancing barefoot on the beach (even in the winter!), chasing after her young children or losing all sense of time as she burrows deep into a fantastically good book.
