About me.

I’m Aoife Earls and I’m a naturopathic doctor practicing in Ontario, Canada with additional licensing in pharmaceutical prescriptions with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. My undergraduate training is in psychology and biology. I continued onto a Masters of Science, exploring the brain, immune system, and hormones in experimental models of lupus in a discipline known as PNI (psychoneuroimmunology).

What led me to naturopathic medicine was actually a form of eczema caused by celiac disease. I was looking for answers, and started exploring alternative forms of health care to treat myself.  The rest is history.

Mind-body medicine is my jam. I’ve taught psychology, I am a certified grief educator and coach, and I also love talking about the gut, histamine, hormones and how our lives influence our bodies. 

In my spare time, I’m also just a girl! I read, go to the gym, hang with my 9 year old and love to explore and be outside.

What’s it like to work with me?

Seeing me, I’ve been told, is like seeing a therapist and a doctor all rolled into one. With my background in PNI (see above), I’m very good at knowing when it’s a body issue we’re treating, an emotional issue, a nervous system issue, or all three things at the same time.

It means I am very good at treating the true root causes of your issues, but that means it can take time (there are no quick fixes in my office), but I’m honest, kind and a good listener. If you need to see another person to help you be well (your family doctor, an osteopathic doctor, a chiropractor, nutritionist…etc) I will always refer because your best self is in my best interest. It is a personal connection I make with my patients, and treating you as an individual is important to me.
