About Nooreen Sumar
Dr. Sumar uses electrodermal analysis to uncover numerous issues that may have been missed through other methods this is essentially what is referred to as "VEGA" testing.
Naturopathic medicine captivated my interest because it combines an understanding of biomedicine and other diverse modalities with the underlying knowledge that the patient’s own history and experiences often hold the clues to their healing journey. I developed a curiosity about the causes of illness and the healing process and sought a career that would enable me to guide a patient through the experience of illness. First, I wish to empower my patients with an understanding of the root cause of their symptoms. Second, I hope to equip them with the insight, confidence, and support to restore a state of balance and inner peace.
After pursuing an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary with a minor in Management, I completed the four-year Naturopathic Doctorate Program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. I undertook training in the areas of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, as well as other modalities such as botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy and hydrotherapy. Through my work with patients under the guidance of teachers and mentors, I began to engage with the determinants of a patient’s health. I witnessed significant transformations in a patient’s quality of life when he or she was inspired to make a dietary substitution, lifestyle modification, or do the “inner work” that led to a shift in thought process and behavior. I explored my passion for the study and practice of naturopathic medicine in diverse environments which included the Anishnawbe Health Center in Toronto, rural clinics in India and the West Indies which broadened my scope and understanding.
