Amelie CameronI’m no stranger to the world of digestive woes. You know those moments when your stomach feels like it’s staging a rebellion? Yeah, that’s been my life lately. Bloating? Check. Irregular bathroom visits? Double check.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve done the whole conventional medicine dance. However, I dislike the idea of popping pills like they’re candy. That’s why I’m complementing my regular medical treatments with naturopathy.
It’s done wonders for me, which is why I think you should let these amazing naturopaths in Toronto help you too!
| How much does it cost to see a naturopath in Toronto? Most naturopaths in Toronto charge $200 for an initial assessment and $150 for succeeding sessions. Keep in mind that the cost can vary depending on factors like your preferred clinic, practitioner experience, and appointment length. |

Wonderful first visit with Dr. Trotter at Zentai Wellness Centre
“I was skeptical about giving naturopathy another go given an unfortunate initial experience I had at a separate location, with another doctor. I have to say, this was the complete opposite. Wonderful first visit with Dr. Trotter at Zentai Wellness Centre. The office is very warm and inviting upon arrival and extremely organized from initial booking. Dr. Trotter himself is very thorough, knowledgeable and informative. The 90 min appointment flew by! It is clear that he is passionate about naturopathy and loves what he does. I look forward to improving my health and working with Dr. Trotter and his team on a go-forward basis!”

Impressed with his knowledge of both traditional medicine and homeopathy
“The visit was completely satisfying. I felt we took our time and the time spent was productive and informative. I have great confidence in Dr. Trotter and was impressed with his knowledge of both traditional medicine and homeopathy. I look forward to the findings from the two tests we ordered to determine if any different or new prescriptions or treatments are felt to be useful.”

2. Higher Health Naturopathic Centre – Dr. Tara Campbell, ND

9:30 AM – 2:00 PM (WED and THURS)
Higher Health Naturopathic Centre, founded by Dr. Tara Campbell, is a welcoming clinic located at the corner of Yonge Street and Yonge Blvd. Originally a house built in 1936, the clinic now features warm treatment rooms, IV lounges, and a certified compounding lab.
For a moment, let’s focus on their IV lounges, where patients can get quality IV vitamin therapy treatments. Since the vitamins bypass the digestive tract, their absorption rate is much higher when compared to your usual oral supplements.
Beyond their IV treatments, Higher Health also offers services that include personalised consultations, advanced blood work, hormone balancing, and stress management.
Make sure to ask them for a free initial consultation session to learn more.
However, please take note that they might take a couple of hours to respond to enquiries due to the high demand for their services.
Pros
- Lead naturopath has 12 years of experience
- State-of-the-art clinic
- Offers IV vitamin therapy treatments
- Offers free initial consultations
Cons
- Sometimes takes hours to respond to enquiries
- Tends to get fully booked quickly
The entire staff team here is incredible
“The entire staff team here is incredible. From the receptionists always being so attentive, to Dr. Madeline taking time to care and listen, and not only that but improve my overall health!

Excellent at providing transparent and professional care
“My journey with Dr. Keara Taylor began as a recommendation from a friend, and I’m extremely happy with the care I’ve since received. From the initial meeting, the team at Higher Health has been excellent at providing transparent and professional care, answering all my questions, and providing a safe space to receive treatment. I’ve felt comfortable from day one. 10/10 would recommend.”

3. Dr. James Yoon
Address: 39 Lower Simcoe St
Phone number: +1 416-504-0628
Business hours:
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM (SUN)
11:00 AM – 8:00 PM (MON-WED)
Dr. James Yoon is a licensed naturopathic doctor who has served as Infinity Health Centre’s resident naturopath since 2015. A graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, he also holds certifications in Active Release Techniques and Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture.
One thing I love about Dr. Yoon is his wide range of services that deal with matters related to men’s health, women’s health, digestive disorders, hormone disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
He can also assist his patients in matters concerning weight loss, customised supplementation, and surgery recovery. You can get a taste of his expertise in weight loss and digestive disorder treatment via the sample meal plans on his website.
Sadly, some former patients told me that the supplements Dr. Yoon provides are pricier compared to those sold in other stores.
Pros
- 9 years of experience
- Wide range of expertise
- Can assist in surgery recovery
- Has sample meal plans to improve diet
Cons
- Unavailable on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays
- Slightly above-average prices
I started noticing improvements after the first couple weeks
“Dr. Yoon was very informative and professional. He helped me with my gut and skin health. We focused on dietary changes and herbal medicines and supplements. I started noticing improvements after the first couple weeks and significant changes after 2 months. Highly recommend.”

4. Dr. Courtney Holmberg
Address: 955 Queen St W #111
Phone number: +1 647-351-7282
Business hours:
9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (TUES and THURS)
10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (WED)
8:00 AM – 2:00 PM (FRI)
Another naturopath I highly recommend is Dr. Courtney Holmberg, a licensed naturopathic doctor who started her practice in 2014. Her expertise lies in gut health, hormones, and autoimmunity.
Personally, I really like her approach, where she emphasises patient-centred care and individualised treatment plans to ensure patients get care that’s tailored to them. This is made possible thanks to her comprehensive preventive screening service.
Referred to as the Wellness Check, this service uses extensive blood work to test more than 48 biomarkers like metabolism, heart health, and hormonal health.
Thankfully, you can enjoy most of her services via virtual appointments if you can’t visit her clinic.
However, it’s a bit unfortunate to learn that her services are in such high demand that you might find it hard to book an appointment with her.
Pros
- 10 years of experience
- Offers individualised treatment plans
- Has a comprehensive preventive screening service
- Offers virtual appointments
Cons
- Tends to get fully booked quickly
- Inconsistent operating hours
Dr. Courtney is the most knowledgeable, validating doctor I’ve ever seen
“Dr. Courtney is the most knowledgeable, validating doctor I’ve ever seen. She explains things in a way that makes complete sense, every visit with her has me feeling like I’m having an “a-ha” light bulb moment when it comes to my health concerns. Highly recommend seeing Courtney as part of your health and wellness journey!”

Great partner in health!
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Holmberg since 2020 and there is no looking back. One of things I truly appreciate with Dr. Holmberg’s approach is that she puts her patient first in genuinely wanting to get to the root cause and see lasting results for her patients. Great partner in health!”

5. Insynco Naturopathic – Dr. Leah Richardson, ND
Address: 30A Hazelton Ave
Phone number: +1 647-490-3236
Business hours: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (MON-FRI)
Insynco Naturopathic, established in 2016, is a naturopathy clinic that I’m particularly impressed by for its speedy and on-time services. Its team of dedicated naturopathic doctors can address up to 150 variables, covering physical, emotional, and biological aspects.
Aside from their services, another thing I love about them is their unique doctor-patient matching system. Here, patients only need to fill out a short enquiry form that their system will use to automatically pair a patient up with a naturopath that best suits their needs.
Another benefit that comes with this unique system is that they can make instant appointments, as the system also checks which doctor is still available.
However, we must take note that their services are a bit pricey, so it’s wise to look for cheaper alternatives first.
Pros
- 8 years of experience
- Can address up to 150 health variables
- Automatically matches patients with the best naturopaths
- Can make instant appointments
Cons
- Above-average prices
- Unavailable on weekends
It’s rare to find a professional who makes such a positive difference
“I’ve been coordinating online consultations for my dad with Insynco, and the results have been great. The doctor has been excellent, pinpointing his issues and recommending a mix of nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle tweaks. He’s seen a significant boost in his health following her advice.
His experience has been greatly enriched by the doctor’s kindness and attentiveness, which we’ve found invaluable. It’s rare to find a professional who makes such a positive difference. A big thank you to the entire team at Insynco for looking after my dad’s health so well.”
-James Madusha, Google Reviews
I couldn’t ask for a better naturopathic doctor
“Dr. Yasmin has been an absolute lifesaver! Her expertise and care have made all the difference in addressing my health concerns. From meticulously checking my blood work to recommending the perfect supplements, she’s been there every step of the way. I couldn’t ask for a better naturopathic doctor. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking top-notch care!”
