Areas of Focus
Dr. Smith has 15+ years of experience working with women at all stages of their hormonal journey.
Dr. Smith is focused on educating and empowering women to achieve their optimal health goals through evidence-based research and clinical findings. She provides strategic, multi-modality treatment approaches for all manner of endocrine condition from endometriosis to polycystic ovarian syndrome, to thyroid disease to hormonal transitions like perimenopause. And yes, of course she also helps women in menopause - a many decades long phase of life - achieve optimal, strong health reducing disease risks and frailty.
She works with a full range of conditions requiring various treatments and interventions:
Nutrition as the Foundation of Naturopathic Medicine
A Holistic Approach to Healing
There are very rarely cases where she only uses one modality, in particular because clinical nutrition is the foundation of naturopathic medicine and healthy, balanced living. Accordingly, nutrition tends to be the starting point and then decisions about appropriate treatments stem from there – the exception of course being with acute illness.

Patient Testimonials
Dr Smith has been unequivocally one of the most instrumental healthcare practitioners in my healing through intensely challenging hormonal imbalances over the years. She's consistently demonstrated expertise, knowledge of the most updated relevant research, and most of all, incredible empathy, openness, heartfelt compassion, consciousness and humility. I wouldn't want any other ND to help me through my hormonal issues. I can't recommend her services enough.

Dr Kirsten Smith is a great naturopath. She is genuinely caring, clear with her candour, and respectful, by which I mean, understands that your needs/emotions/mental state are an important part of the treatment process. If you feel you need different medical attention, she'll be supportive. That said, at a time when nothing else would ease my back pain, she knew precisely what I needed to finally feel relief and return to full health. I trust her, and know she'll do her utmost, well above and beyond the norm, to help her patients.

I have been a patient of Kirsten's for many years and have also referred others to her with great confidence. She is very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and truly listens; always wanting to really resolve any health issues. She is always upgrading her knowledge so that she can offer the best solutions but also understands that sometimes costs are a factor in what can/cannot be done right away. I am grateful that Kirsten is part of my like and wellness journey.
