About Elena Fenske
As humans, the intricacy and complexity of the human body is something that intrigues me so, and thus, have been drawn to health sciences such as anatomy and physiology for as long as I can remember. Looking back at all my years, I see that I had been preparing to be a Naturopathic Doctor my entire life; it’s part of my soul, my heart…my human-nature.
After completing a Bachelor of Science in Cell Biology and Genetics, and planning to embark on becoming a Medical Doctor, I was soon faced with my own health challenges that left me feeling helpless.
Feeling frustrated by the lack of viable solutions to my health problems, it was time to take my own health into my own hands. The ‘take-a-pill’ solution was not enough for me. I wanted answers….as we all do. We ask ourselves, why am I having such symptoms, and what is the root cause of my issues? The goal being, if we can figure this out, we wouldn’t need to rely on symptom management.
Through my own personal journey to wellness, and discovering Naturopathic Medicine, I was able to turn my health around for the better. The teachings of Naturopathic healing through my own journey taught me that to achieve optimal health, we need to address the balance of all aspects of life – including mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
My philosophy and approach as a Naturopathic Doctor is to inspire and guide you through your health journey. Yes, having completed all necessary schooling and accreditations demonstrates my knowledge, however, what truly separates myself from others is that I’ve been where you are now. Having lived in a “naturopathic” world my entire life, and experienced my own health challenges and journey, with losses and wins- I can truly affirm to you, I hear you, I understand you, because, I was, where you are, right now…
My patients are like family. I value your questions, insights and concerns about your health. Communication and trust are the most important values of my practice. You are special, and unique, and deserve my undivided attention to discover the right path to health for you.
Being fully committed and mindful of your needs is how I guide. Together we’ll discover the best possible options for you, to a better you.
