About Michelle Mackay Patel
When I was 10 my Dad died of cancer and that’s what ignited the spark of me wanting to be a doctor. I wanted to cure cancer! Such a bold statement for a 10-year-old.
I knew that I wanted to be a doctor and to help people. At that time I only knew of one kind of doctor, a medical doctor, so I set out on my path to get there. But along the way my passion was fading. It was clear to me that I still wanted to help people with their health but the MD route was no longer calling me.
I felt a deeper need to help people get back to their roots and the building blocks of health. To me that looked like the pillars of what holds us together.... food, sleep, and managing stress. A quick Google search brought Naturopathic Medicine into my life and a gut feeling told me that an ND was my calling. It focuses a lot on disease prevention through healthy lifestyle, with natural support along the way if we do get sick. This is how I have always lived my life. Even as a kid, when I had the choice between cake and fruit, I always went for the fruit.
For years you have spent your time putting others' needs ahead of your own. Kids, partner’s, even your colleagues. Well, the kids are gone now, it’s time to focus on you!
A change to your health. Maybe you are left fatigued, bloated, and hormones out of whack, and you are tired of feeling this way.
