About Your doctor O

Nadine Overgaard, ND, MCT, Medical Acupuncturist

Nadine earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine in 2013 from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. Shortly after she attended the Medical Acupuncture program offered through McMaster University. In 2017, Dr. O, ND started her training in modern cupping therapy. Nadine is in love with learning and is constantly taking courses, going to conferences or listening to webinars in order to treat her clients as effectively as possible. Being physical has been the one constant in Nadine's eclectic life: a gymnast as a girl, actress and dancer as a young adult and now a fitness and outdoor enthusiast. Nadine is a dedicated mother of two and spends her time finding ways to balance life: play time, working out, feeding her family healthy foods, date nights, getting enough sleep, being social, cleaning, and working! Growing up in the Northwest Territories and having roots in the Bigstone Cree Nation has helped to shape Nadine into the nature loving, holistic and healing woman she has become.

PRINCIPLES OF Naturopathic medicine

PRIMUM NON NOCERE

FIRST, DO NO HARM

As a naturopath I am here to help you increase your health and decrease the pain you feel without causing unneeded harm. I will use the least amount of intervention possible in my treatment protocols, opting for lifestyle changes and natural solutions with no to minimal side effects whenever possible.

TOLLE CAUSAM

IDENTIFY AND TREAT THE CAUSE

If we cannot identify why something is happening, it is extremely hard to stop it from happening again! Through a thorough intake and relevant physical exams, I investigate your complete health history to uncover why you are struggling with your health and wellness.

VIS MEDICATRIX NATURAE

THE HEALING POWER OF NATURE

Our bodies have an innate ability to heal. My job is to find all the obstacles blocking this natural process and help you find ways to clear the path so your body can do all the healing for you.

TOLLE TOTUM

TREAT THE WHOLE PERSON

No patient is alike. Your chief concerns, health history and unique personality will always be at the forefront of my mind while we are working together. I will always treat your whole person; not just your symptoms, but why they are there as well.

DOCERE

DOCTOR AS TEACHER

As your naturopathic doctor I am here to help you understand your body, your health and how you can take charge of your own life. Knowledge is power, the more you know the better every day choices you can make, which will lead to increased wellness in your life.
