Naturopathy
Nastasia Irons
Dr. Nastasia became interested in Naturopathic medicine because of a passion to help people understand their bodies so that they can feel better and eliminate any anxiety related to their health. When you understand how your body works, you can learn the signs your body is telling you and use them to make the changes you need in order to heal and recover.
​
When not in the clinic, you can find Nastasia somewhere outside, either on her bike, or exploring the trails around the city. Nastasia loves to exercise because of the positive effects it has on mental health, and became a spin instructor in order to share her love of music and movement with as many people as possible. She believes that movement is the medicine your body needs to thrive, and any form of exercise is the ultimate therapy for mind, body, and soul.
Dr. Nastasia has a strong interest in hormonal and digestive health. She loves to work with people who are struggling with hormonal changes after coming off the birth control pill, or who are experiencing acne, PCOS, Endometriosis, and irregular menstrual cycles.
