Dr. Hannah Lafayette-Brooks

Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine

I’m a light-hearted and open-minded individual. I believe that laughter and fun are two of the greatest medicines we have in this world. I am very caring and empathetic. I can assure you, no matter who you are or what you say, I’m not going to judge you. I’m going to strive to understand you and see things from your perspective. I feel that compassion and acceptance are two key factors for healing, I can give you both of those things. This will help you to see that you deserve to feel good, happy and healthy. I want to help you to see that you can accomplish your goals, because you can. 

My first priority, as your Naturopath, is to make sure you feel heard and understood. I believe that doing so is essential for building trust between us; which will help us to work together towards your optimal health. To achieve this, I take the time to hear your story and truly listen to all that you have to say. I feel that it is very important to make sure you know that you are in a safe and comfortable environment in my office. I want you to feel open to talk to me about anything that will help you to heal. 

 I also want to make sure you know that I truly care about you. Your well-being and health goals are important to me. I want you to feel supported and be able to work together with me to create a treatment plan that you feel confident in. I also want to help you gain confidence in yourself and what you are capable of achieving in your search for wellness. I will not be healing or curing you. You will be healing yourself. I act as a guide, support and enthusiastic cheerleader along the way, so you definitely won’t be alone on this journey. Naturopathic medicine is not usually the “easy” route, but the efforts you put in can evolve into longterm health that is well worth it.

Education

I attended McMaster University, where I got my Bachelor of Science degree and then went onto achieve my Doctorate of Naturopathy in 2017, at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.

I was on the Paediatrics shift during my clinical internship and I have completed my Naturopathic Doula training (although I do not practice as a doula or offer these services), which has allowed me to gain more experience in treating those who are pregnant, babies and children.  That being said, I truly love to treat all people in all phases of life!

Dr. Hannah practices in both Gravenhurst and Orillia.

She is also available for virtual appointments. For more information on appointment availability you can contact Dr. Hannah directly at drhannhnd@gmail.com.
