About Brandy James
I started down this path over 10 years ago. I grew up always wanting to be a doctor and to help care for people. That dream soon changed as I ended up in the hospital for over 5 weeks with a brain tumour at the age of 19, just days after finishing my final exams. This experience was one of the most terrifying and beautiful experiences of my life. I have learned what it feels like to lose control of health, feel helpless, know something is not right in my body but not be able to find answers nor feel heard. I also know what it is like to have to integrate back into life without feeling well, having no energy and feeling constantly stressed. I was determined to understand what had happened to me and what this would mean for my future. This passion for understanding led me down the road of Naturopathic Medicine. Through this education I was able to gain a better understanding of what I had been through and it was also a very healing experience. I have nothing but respect for the numerous professionals that helped me along the way: surgeons, nurses, doctors as well as NDs, Chiropractors, counsellors and more. I see the need and importance of bridges between each profession in order to support the patient as a whole. With a desire to really hear each individual and meet them where they are at, my goal is to help guide you down a road to empowerment, optimal health and discovery.
