Naturopathic Medicine: Perimenopause and Menopause
LUV Healing’s perimenopause and menopause support services are designed to help women navigate the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes of midlife with clarity, confidence, and holistic care. In a naturopathic setting, we take a personalized, root-cause approach to managing symptoms, restoring balance, optimizing health and in fact, preventing longer term health conditions associated with menopause. We will support you through every stage of this natural transition.
From the comfort of your home via virtual appointments, our team will first go through your health history, lifestyle, nutrition, hormonal and nervous system health patterns to understand how your body is responding to perimenopause or menopause. Common concerns we address include hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, weight changes, fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, low libido, and irregular or heavy cycles.
We also are passionate about deeper nervous system regulation, and preventative approaches to osteoporosis, heart disease and depression, which are three conditions with increased risk in menopausal women. Our treatment plans may include blood tests, hormone testing, targeted nutrition, herbal medicine, optional bioidentical hormone support, lifestyle adjustments, and stress-reduction strategies tailored to your unique needs.
We believe this time of life is not just a phase to manage, but a powerful opportunity for renewal and self-care. This is often a time in our lives where we can shift gears and heal in much deeper ways. Our team encompasses mind, body and soul levels of healing. Our goal at LUV is to help you feel supported, informed, and in control of your health as you move through perimenopause and menopause with greater ease and more resilience.
Whether you're just noticing changes or are well into your transition, our virtual naturopathic care offers accessible, integrative support right where you are.

Hello!
I am Dr. Tia, a naturopathic doctor here at LUV Healing.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, I aim to make my patients feel supported and empowered to improve their health no matter what step they are at. I am trauma-informed and evidence-based, using both my medical education and the principles of naturopathic medicine like treating the root cause of illness, removing obstacles or barriers to your healing to offer holistic healing and aligning the mind and the body together.
My goal as a doctor is to create a space that is collaborative, educational, empathetic, and judgment-free.
I am most passionate about seeing and helping patients who are struggling with: -PCOS and other hormonal conditions -ADHD and associated conditions -Mental health conditions -Nutritional deficiencies -Insomnia and sleep problems -Burnout and overwhelm
As someone who is neurodiverse (I was diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood), I understand how difficult it can be to function in a world that wasn’t built for brains that work differently.
Working with neurodiversity, mental health, and trauma, I feel it’s important to meet you where you are at to create healthy changes that feel not only doable for you now but also sustainable in the long term. I use elements of both Western medicine (pharmaceuticals, lab testing, and IV therapy) and herbal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, nutrition, and counselling to provide personalized care that suits you and your unique needs.
Another area of passion for me is health care for LGBTQIA2S+ and gender-diverse communities. I strongly believe everyone deserves to feel safe, supported, and comfortable to discuss all aspects of their health in a judgment-free space. I will always support human rights and work to be as inclusive as possible for BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, sex workers, disabled people, and other oppressed minorities as well as continue to learn and confront my own biases.
