You’re in the right place
Dr Aoife Earls, Naturopathic Doctor, with a background in psychology and neuroscience, has been practicing for 17 years. She works best with people with mind-body disconnects; chronic inflammation due to stress, anxiety and depression that have emerged from real-life stressors like grief, losses of connection and community, and hormonal and digestive imbalances in the immune system that develop when our stress response runs the show.
Using a variety of modalities including acupuncture, herbal medicine, lifestyle counselling, bioidentical hormone therapy, mindful techniques, and others, she can help you to develop a peaceful and resilient approach to life!
How I can help
Digestion
We have a gut-brain connection, both from a nerve and bacterial perspective. How we feel relates to this connection.
You are what you eat is partially true, however how our gut works and how are brain is managing that will influence infections, bowel movements, you name it! Let’s look at your digestion from a whole person and see things really change!
Life Transitions
Grief can occur at life transitions, even if we want those transitions.
Moving, losing your job, becoming an empty nester, having a new physical illness, going into a new relationship phase – these all affect the body and mind that really want to help, but can put significant stress on the hormone and immune systems. When the body and mind are supported, we can create a new story in a loving, grounded and empowering manner.
Stress
Hormones rise to help us through stress, but also change our immune system.
This can make us susceptible to infections, feel more tired, and sometimes not ourselves. Our body needs support, but so can our choices; choosing things that make us feel joyful and peaceful and away from things that take away our precious energy. We can support the body in these times to preserve energy and reduce the burden on our immunity.
Hormones
Puberty, Normal menstrual cycling, PMS, Perimenopause, Post-partum, and menopause are major hormone transitions in women.
There are both herbal and bio-identical hormones that can support these changes beautifully women. Through testing and investigation, the best course of action is decided on, but more importantly, these are not diseases and deserve love and support.
About Dr Aoife, ND
(It’s pronounced “Ee-fa“)
I’m Aoife, I practice as a naturopathic doctor in Ontario. I am licensed in pharmaceutical prescriptions with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. My undergraduate training is in psychology and biology. I also have Masters of Science in Behavioural Neuroscience, in which I explored the brain, immune system, and hormones in experimental models of lupus in a discipline known as psychoneuroimmunology, or PNI.
Seeing me, I’ve been told, is like seeing a therapist and a doctor all rolled into one. With my background in PNI, I’m very comfortable exploring if it is a physical issue we’re addressing, an emotional issue affecting the body, a nervous system or immune imbalance, or all at the same time.
My practice strengths are mind-body integration; intense emotion and digestive change, fatigue and chronic illness arising from life stressors, and immune system changes after hormone changes.
