Naturopathic Doctor and certified Healthy & Active Weight Loss Practitioner

Jaclyn Smith is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor.  On a series of academic scholarships, she completed seven years of post-secondary education—first receiving her Bachelor of Science from The University of Western Ontario, followed by a Diploma of Naturopathic Medicine from the accredited Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.  She is registered with The Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy-Naturopathy (BDDT-N), and is a member of The Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and The Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND).

Jaclyn’s thirst for knowledge has paved the way to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor.  Growing up in a family afflicted with autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, scleroderma), she eventually refuted the belief that there was no cure, and began to question the underlying cause.  Through her search for treatments, she stumbled across Naturopathic Medicine, a science rooted in the principle, “Tolle Causam”, meaning “Treat the Cause”.  The rest is history.  With the support of Naturopathic Medicine, her family saw a reduction in medications and a reversal of symptoms—Jaclyn saw an inspiring career. 

Throughout the years, Jaclyn has pursued training in pain management, detoxification, sports medicine and myofascial release, naturopathic oncology, naturopathic rheumatology, and has recently become a certified Healthy & Active metabolic weight loss consultant.  As a dedicated general practitioner, all of these credentials have fortified Jaclyn’s practice, where her focus remains providing patients with an education on the many benefits of, as well as how to achieve, preventative health.  These objectives are attained through the safe and effective use of Asian medicine and acupuncture, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, detoxification and lifestyle counselling.

Jaclyn is dedicated to educating the public on the many benefits of Naturopathic Medicine.  She has hosted community lectures, appeared on television, and published several articles.

Jaclyn is currently accepting new patients.  She speaks English and has a passive understanding of French.  If new to Naturopathic Medicine, she encourages booking a 15-minute complimentary consultation.

“By evaluating all determinants of wellness, I seek to find the root cause of disease and debility, allowing me then to restore health through individualized treatment.  It is my personal commitment to treat you, not simply a condition.”  (Jaclyn Smith, BSc, ND)
