Tired of navigating through the noise and conflicting health information online? Me too.
I'm excited to now be offering free monthly live webinars starting in March 2026 on a range of important health topics.
Each session will provide evidence-informed education to help you better understand what’s happening in your body and feel more connected between appointments — and more knowledgeable in these areas overall.
We’ll cover topics such as cholesterol, digestion, perimenopause, constipation across the ages, and metabolic health, to name a few. My goal is to offer clear, thoughtful discussion grounded in current research.
If you can’t attend live, no worries — we’ve got you covered. All registered participants will receive access to the recording.

Sustainable health rarely comes from trying harder. It comes from changing the systems that keep you stuck. If your systems aren’t working — your routines, habits, supports, or care plan — it’s not a failure. It’s information.
This is the work I do with patients: helping them step back, evaluate what’s actually happening, and adjust the systems so their health goals become achievable.

All the gut-based influencer fads in one reel 😂. Your gut doesn’t need trends. It needs consistency. 2025, we’re done with GI fads!
(These are based on many real-life conversations.)

TLDR: Drinking more than 1.5 litres of water daily will probably help constipation, but surprisingly there isn't much research to back this claim. Combining adequate water + enough daily fibre + daily movement is more likely to get things moving rather than focusing on water alone!

Constipation isn't always due to a slow transit time. Interestingly, some people with constipation have normal transit times. Different transit times mean different treatment plans!
The Blue Muffin Challenge is a fun, evidence-based experiment to find out about your transit time. And bonus, you get to eat delicious muffins!

How do we get "unstuck"?
We change our expectations.
We focus on the steps rather than the end result.
We are compassionate with ourselves when there are setbacks.
We ask our loved ones to support us, like sharing in making dinners and cleanup to free up 20 minutes for your personal self-care.
We show up.
Feeling healthy isn’t a didactic, take-a-pill solution—it takes effort, a willingness to try new things, and consistency to truly thrive.

Hi there! It's been a while since I introduced myself, and so much has changed in my practice and life since then!
I'm Dr. Dominique, a naturopathic doctor in Ontario, Canada passionate about helping people improve their digestion and hormone health. My goal is for you to no longer worry about bathroom access, to have freedom and flexibility with your diet, and for periods to be easy and pain-free.
Outside the clinic, you can find me hanging out with my 18-month-old daughter, enjoying the outdoors, or at the gym. I'm excited to keep sharing tips and insights to help you live your healthiest life. 😀
If you're new here, welcome! Feel free to ask any questions, and if you're looking to work together, head to my website (link in bio) to book an appointment. I am accepting new patients in person in Burlington and virtually Ontario-wide. 🌿💚

My story began when I fell sick in my early 20s. It all started when I developed vague digestive issues – at first, I thought it was the onset of food allergies. Then I began reacting to almost everything I put in my mouth. Gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, grains, fats, alcohol … the list goes on. I was diagnosed with “irritable bowel syndrome,” but it didn’t end there.
Soon followed chronic fatigue, multiple chemical sensitivity, daily sore throats, persistent unintentional weight loss, and chronic infections that could not be resolved with antibiotics. I saw countless medical specialists, all of whom were perplexed by my visits. Your lab work and diagnostic tests are normal, they said; you’re "fine." But I really didn’t feel fine. In fact, I felt terrible, and every day was a challenge. That's when I quit my first career and enrolled back in school.
One of the first things I was taught in naturopathic medical school was that in order to be a good doctor, you must have empathy for your patients. I understand first-hand the complexity of ramifications of chronic health conditions.
Naturopathic medicine came to me at a time when I had few other options. It changed my health and my life for the better.
