Dr. Hayley Owens, Naturopathic Physician

As a Naturopathic Physician, I know that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Our bodies desire health, but certain factors can inhibit it from doing so; for example stress, diet, and lifestyle. Symptoms, such as bloating or elevated blood pressure, are our body’s way of signaling that there is a problem. I strongly believe in identifying and treating the root cause in order to achieve relief, rather than just suppressing the symptoms. By doing a thorough intake of your case, which would include a physical examination and laboratory tests, I can determine what these obstacles are so that together, we can alleviate the root cause and bring your body back into balance. My path to becoming a Naturopathic Doctor was less than conventional, as I used to be a Chartered Accountant and Management Consultant in Vancouver for a number of years. After some soul searching, I decided to follow my passion for medicine and serving people, which would change the course of my life forever. I enrolled at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, where I completed the four year Doctorate Program. Every day I am grateful for taking the leap to follow my heart and become a Naturopathic Doctor. I am so passionate about this medicine, and most importantly, what it can do for you. I run a general family practice, and have a special interest in Female Wellness, Pain Management and Digestive health. My scope of practice consists of the following:

• Diet and Lifestyle Counseling
• Nutritional Medicine
• Physical examination
• Laboratory and Diagnostic Testing (including PAPs)
• Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan Core and Advanced Training)
• Naturopathic Manipulation

• Homeopathy
• Escharotic Treatment – a natural treatment for cervical dysplasia
• Pharmaceutical Therapy

As a Naturopathic Doctor, my mission is to have a lasting impact on the way you achieve balance in your life, by sharing with you my knowledge and passion for natural medicine. I intend to educate you, learn from you, and serve you with honesty, integrity and an open heart. I am excited and grateful for the opportunity to guide you to your desired health goals, ultimately leading to a happier and healthier you! Professional Affiliations:
