Hummingbird Naturopathic Clinic - Loreen Dawson, ND

I can’t imagine more rewarding work than that of a naturopathic physician. From the first moment I learned about naturopathic medicine, I knew that this was exactly what I was meant to do. Naturopathic medicine perfectly combines my interests in medicine, health, nutrition and plants with a career that is always challenging and rewarding. I love listening to people’s stories, working with them improve their health and vitality.

I grew up in Victoria BC, attended high school and did my pre-med studies in Ottawa, then graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture, and a minor in Food Science; a background which has been surprisingly useful in my work as a naturopathic physician. I graduated from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, in Portland Oregon in 1997, and have been practicing in Sechelt since 1998.

In addition to my work at the Hummingbird Naturopathic Clinic, I taught at Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine for 9 years, and now serve on the BC Naturopathic Association board, the Wellness on the Coast committee, and, am a founding member of the Knotty Dotters marimba band. I love living on the Sunshine Coast where I enjoy snowshoeing on Dakota Ridge, hiking on Mt. Elphinstone and puttering in my garden. I look forward to working with you on your journey to health.
