Stittsville Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Jen
Like a conventional doctor, dentist, or chiropractor, Jennifer, along with all other Naturopathic physicians in Stittsville, first completed pre-medical studies at university. She attended the University of Western Ontario where she received an honours bachelor degree in Health Science (BHSc).
From there, she moved to Toronto to attend the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, which is one of only two accredited Naturopathic medical schools in Canada. At this institution, Jennifer received further training in basic, medical, and clinical science; diagnostics; and Naturopathic principles and therapeutics.
A one year internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic provided her with extensive clinical experience under the supervision of licensed Naturopathic doctors. During that year, Jennifer also spent four months interning at the Sherbourne Health Centre treating individuals with HIV and AIDS. She also preceptored at the Newman Breast Feeding Clinic, which provided her with insight to the difficulties that many new parents face.
Upon successful completion of her schooling and internship, Jennifer graduated with the title of Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine (ND). She then underwent intense examinations to obtain licensure.
Jennifer grew up in a small town located near Windsor, Ontario. She spent eight years living in both London and Toronto as she earned her education. After finishing her schooling, she decided to relocate to the Ottawa region.
Anything artistic that requires creativity also sparks Jennifer’s interest; she is an avid knitter, scrapbooker, cook/baker, gardener and painter. Another passion prevalent in Jennifer’s life is animal welfare. She has become a foster parent for Hopeful Hearts Dog Rescue, and recently welcomed two french bulldog puppies into her family.
