About Carolyn Mercer
Carolyn Mercer graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University with a Bachelor of Science, studying biology and psychology. At this time she developed an interest in evidence-based research. Since attending the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, she has integrated her past research-based education with a more holistic avenue of healing. As a Naturopathic doctor, Carolyn was trained in several modalities of alternative health including nutrition, botanical medicine, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, homeopathy, bodywork and lifestyle counseling. During the extensive training at the college, she was trained in western medicine and diagnosing, but her background has taught her to utilize alternative methods to treat a wide range of conditions, that, in turn, have a gentler more healing effect on the body.
Since setting up practice in Ottawa, Carolyn welcomes all new patients dedicated to improving their health and quality of life. With Carolyns forward-thinking, preventative approach towards health, she believes that no matter what the level of health of the individual, there are always ways to improve the quality of our lives each and every day. Special interests include weight loss, nutrition and exercise, detoxification, fatigue, gastrointestinal health and allergies, mental health and wellness and infertility.
