"I believe health care requires a team approach between doctor and patient. Patients aren't just looking for relief of symptoms, but for a partner to educate and assist them in achieving optimal health. I also believe it is vital to the healing process to understand the relationship between one's symptoms and the underlying cause. In addition to traditional considerations such as infectious disease and metabolic disorders, I also look into the role of nutritional deficiencies, food allergies/sensitivities, and stress imbalance."
Dr. Danner strikes a healthy balance between professional and personal life. She shares her life and her practice with her husband, Dr. Gordon Sims and their two very fun and active daughters. When not in the office she enjoys spending time outside close to nature and participating in outdoor activities. She especially loves working in one of her many gardens. Dr. Danner volunteers her time and energy to the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, where she actively serves as a provincial board member.
