Michelle graduated from the University of Guelph with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences, and a Masters of Science in Human Biology and Nutritional Sciences. Soon after having completed her MSc, Michelle realized that she had food intolerances that were contributing to various health problems she was experiencing at the time. It was then that she realized that there is more to health than taking medications; and made it her mission to learn about the healing power of nature.
Michelle then embarked on a four-year journey, studying at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario. Michelle gained experience treating all kinds of physical and emotional disorders as a clinic intern; the most common of which include gastrointestinal disorders such as gas, bloating, indigestion, celiac disease, chron's, as well as mental health conditions including depression and anxiety.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, Michelle knows many different healing modalities to help bring wellness and balance to her patients. Some of her favorite modalities include botanical medicine, homeopathy, flower essences, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), nutrition, counselling, and life coaching.

Dr. Dowker's special focus is health coaching. She takes the time to listen to your story, and help you explore the root causes of your health concerns. Often times, patients who come to see Dr. Dowker have tried everything the medical field has to offer; but have not been able to find relief from digestive problems, fatigue, stress and anxiety. Through personalized wellness consultations, patients begin to explore the root causes of their symptoms. Most often, there are emotional roots to physical disorders.

With guidance, exercises, tools and support through natural medicine, Dr. Dowker can guide you along your path to Wellness & Balance, and the best You possible!
