Hi I’m Dr. Katie Barr, ND
I have always had a love of plants, nature, and healing which was instilled within me at a young age by my mother who had an alternative medical practice in Kitsilano for many years. I spent my university days studying Biology and Botany at UBC, and then completed my naturopathic medical training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. I am passionate about empowering my patients to take charge of their health by providing the tools, information, and simple steps to implement lasting change. It is important for me to treat the whole person (mind, body, spirit) by becoming a partner in the healing journey. Everyone experiences day to day stress to varying degrees, which is either processed or stored in the body to create imbalances which may lead to disease. By using sophisticated biological testing and healing modalities such as Herbal Medicine, Integrated Body Psychotherapy, and Acupuncture we can create the right conditions in the mind and body that are essential for healing. I’m excited to share my knowledge, and help create an environment of well-being through teaching healthy living practices and utilizing all the natural healing modalities. From this, we can heal ourselves and become the masters of our own health.
When not in the clinic, you can find me outside exploring nature with my dog, working on my next knitting project, or on my family’s farm Cortes Island. I look forward to meeting you and would love to know how I can help you to reach your health goals.
