About Steffe D Ornellas
Hi, I’m Dr.Steffe and I’m a Naturopathic Doctor. I help people get on track with their health and get them feeling beyond fine. I believe being healthy is at the core of living your highest potential. We all want to live amazing lives and our health shouldn’t hold us back from that.
My mission as a Naturopathic Doctor is to offer you a space to help you understand your health, make informed choices and ultimately feel empowered to take control of your health.
I believe that we are more than just our bodies. We all live dynamic lives that are influenced by what we eat on a daily basis, how we move our bodies and the security of our relationships and emotions to name a few. If we are all of these things, I don’t believe our health should be assessed by only looking at the physical symptoms we present with. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have the honour of blending modern science with natural therapies to look at my patients through a wholistic lens, seeing them as individuals with unique journeys and getting to the root of why they may be unwell.
I am a big advocate for education; like the saying goes “ when you know better, you do better”. I’m passionate about sharing the knowledge and tools with others to remove obstacles that may be standing in the way of their good health and offering them guidance on prevention and optimization of their wellbeing.
Let’s work together to ignite your health.
I was born and raised in Toronto and from a young age, I was interested in how the mind and body worked. To feed this curiosity, I went to the University of Toronto and obtained a Honours Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in Human Biology and Psychology. Medicine had always appealed to me but I knew that the current healthcare system and the conventional route of becoming a MD didn’t align with my true passions. I wanted more than band-aid solutions to illnesses and wanted to get to the root of why someone wasn’t well. When my own personal health challenges were healed with the guidance of Naturopathic Medicine, I knew I had to be apart of this world to help and educate others on their wellness journeys. I went on to obtain my Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
I practice in the West-end of downtown Toronto with a special interest in women’s health, digestive concerns and skin health.
