Excited to be a sponsor for the lavender gala in September for Maternal Mental Health hosted by the Lavender Village Society

Thank you to Friend of Lavender Village for being one of our generous sponsors for The Lavender Gala for Maternal Health.

Root Cause Health & Wellness Clinic Inc in Antigonish was founded by Dr. Teresa Donovan, ND in 2008. The focus of the clinic has always been to “treat the root cause” of disease and to help patients achieve their health goals using the modalities of naturopathic medicine.

Dr. Donovan has been working in Women’s Health and Fertility for 18 years!

You can also check out their vendor table at the Gala this year!
