Hi! I’m Dr. Natalie Groenewoud, ND.
I’m a Naturopathic Doctor, focusing on women’s health and digestive wellness.
I’m passionate about helping you get to the root of you what’s ailing you — whether that’s a new illness, a lack of energy, or just a feeling that’s a bit blah: the sense that your inner spark has been extinguished, and you’re not as joyfully engaged with life as you want to be.
I’ve been exactly where you are, my friend, and it’s my pleasure and purpose to help you navigate your journey toward lasting health — so you can feel your very best, inside and out.
I’ve had my inner flame dimmed to a barely-there flicker, after working myself to the point of exhaustion.
I’ve felt like my body was broken and my mind was foggy, after ignoring my inner wisdom.
I’ve been invited back to the profound truth that, in order to flourish, we must prioritize our own rest, rituals, and emotions.
These experiences were the catalysts for me to recognize I needed to Shift Perspective, Change what drove me and Re-align.
Today I feel vibrantly alive and in love with my life — and I know we can cultivate that joy and health for you, too.
My friend, I know exactly what it’s like.
I’ve been where you are.
This is why I’m so passionate about supporting other women in similar situations. I’ve seen thousands of patients over the last decade — as well as sisters, neighbours, friends — whose experiences mirror my own. Women everywhere are walking this same path:
And it’s making us sick.
I adore helping each one of my patients create a deep, sustainable sense of balance and well-being. Each path to this place is unique, and it’s deeply fulfilling to create that map for the people I work with.
Beneath the individual symptoms I see, there’s usually a similar network of roots from which our disease grows.
This is why I do the work I do.
As a doctor, a writer, and a teacher, I’ve taken on the mission of letting the world know what needs to change for women to feel healthy again…
And what needs to change for you to come home to who you truly are: intimately connected to your own body and the people around you, vivaciously and delightfully alive, and in love with your whole damn life.
DOCTOR
I am so fortunate to be a founder and practitioner at Aumakua Integrative Wellness Clinic where I work with a fantastic team of Doctors, a Nutritionist and Hypnotherapist where we have the collective focus on helping modern women listen to, and act on, their body’s cues and signals.
We are a completely-online clinic based in Vancouver, BC and would love to support you.
TEACHER
When I’m not seeing patients, I’m consulting with practitioners all over North America on the gastrointestinal microbiome, and lecturing on its importance for lasting, whole-body health.
Want to learn more about the miraculous benefits of healthy bacterial flora? I invite you to watch this lecture I recently gave on this fascinating topic:
WRITER
With the knowledge I’ve gained over my life, along with the experiences of the thousands of patients I have worked with, I have witnessed what is truly making us sick — as individuals, and as a culture. I want to reach as many women as I possibly can with this information. With this awareness, my hope is to help prevent as many women as I possibly can from feeling sick, listless, and out of balance.
This read is going to be fun and digestible, and will show women how to powerfully take charge of their health and wellbeing in an authentic, loving, and transformative way.
