Dr. Nadezda Yakovleva, ND
I am a Registered Naturopathic Doctor with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario and the founder of Yakovleva Integrative Naturopathy.
Before becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, I completed an Honours Bachelor of Nursing degree, earned a medical degree, completed the Canadian physician licensing examinations, and worked for more than seven years as a Physician Assistant in Endocrinology and Internal Medicine in Toronto. I earned my Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and completed additional training in Clinical Homeopathy and Naturopathic Facial Acupuncture.
Areas of Clinical Focus:
Digestive health;
Hormonal and reproductive health;
Pediatric naturopathic care (infants, toddlers, and children up to age 15);
Musculoskeletal health and pain management;
Naturopathic facial acupuncture;
I take the time to understand your health history, current concerns, and goals before developing a naturopathic care plan tailored to your individual health needs.
My Clinical Journey
My career in healthcare began long before I entered naturopathic medicine. Working in nursing and later in endocrinology and internal medicine gave me the opportunity to care for patients of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds in busy clinical settings. These experiences strengthened my appreciation for careful clinical assessment, thoughtful communication, and the importance of understanding each person's unique health circumstances.
Over time, I found myself wanting to spend more time with patients, gaining a deeper understanding of their health concerns, lifestyle, and goals. That desire ultimately led me to pursue naturopathic medicine.
Today, my previous healthcare experience continues to shape the way I practise. I believe meaningful care begins with listening carefully, understanding the whole health picture, and working collaboratively to develop a practical naturopathic care plan tailored to each individual's needs.
Your Health Is at the Centre of Every Consultation
Every appointment begins with listening. I take time to understand your health concerns, review your medical history, discuss your goals, and answer your questions. Where relevant, I review available laboratory and imaging results and perform physical assessments as clinically indicated. This information guides the development of a naturopathic care plan built around your health concerns, priorities, and life circumstances.
