About Felicia Assenza
I grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and completed my Bachelor of Science degree in 2013 at McMaster University, majoring in Biology & Psychology. I have always been curious about the mind and brain, so in my 4th year, I completed my Honours thesis in behavioural neuroscience, investigating emotional regulation and mood disorders in adolescents.
I earned my Doctor of Naturopathy degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. While there, I had the pleasure of interning on a pediatric-focused clinical shift, a clinical placement in the Queen West Community Health Centre, as well as a global clinical preceptorship in India.
My goal in every patient visit is to share the knowledge and experiences that I’ve gained on my own journey to help move others forward on their health journeys. I approach each case with a gentle curiosity. I want to spend time exploring your concerns and making connections to figure out what is causing them. Together we come up with health goals and a plan to achieve them.
Nutritional and lifestyle counseling are an important part of every treatment. Other tools I use to help ease symptoms and guide the healing process may include: acupuncture, botanical/plant medicine, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy. I also love food and gardening and believe both are among the most powerful medicines.
