Dr. Candace Haarsma, ND
While she knew she wanted to go into the medical field, the naturopathic approach to health aligned with her values of supporting the body, figuring out the underlying cause and contributing factors and taking into account mental, emotional and physical aspects. She knew that this was the field for her.
Her desire to work with women is driven by recognizing and appreciating the vitality women experience when we feel healthy, connected to ourselves and a community and what we can accomplish when we’re thriving.
She is passionate about helping women who are struggling with their hormones, period-related problems and gynecological issues reduce the worry, have a greater understanding and connection to their body and get back to the things they love.
Dr. Candace’s Practice
Dr. Candace’s approach to working with you is to be present, to hear your story, and to understand who you are and why you may be experiencing your current health concerns. This information then directs us to explore what needs to be nurtured and optimized so you can begin to heal and become a healthier you.
