How I can Help
Anxiety
Fear is just an emotion that our body is programmed to create to keep us safe, but we don’t have to stay in it, even when we have really stressful times. Anxiety is a byproduct of long-term fear. There are many different tools to lessen and eliminate your response to fear. Let’s remind your body and mind how to do this!
Grief
To the self, a loss and grieving is a major source of disease if we don’t know how to process up the normal feelings and emotions as they arise. As grief can be a long process, we want to support you at a time where you are your most vulnerable to move forward with grace. Balancing and supporting stress hormones, the immune system, and safely processing emotion can support grieving individuals create a new story and healthy body in a vulnerable time. I am currently completing a certificate in Palliative Care with the University of Chicago.
Stress
If you’re alive, you experience stressors, but how is your body responding and is it creating new beneficial things as a result of your stressors or is it creating belly fat, hair loss or panic attacks? We have the ability to talk to your body, mind, and emotions and soothe and direct them into a way of being that produces healing and vitality.
Hormonal (Men & Women)
Low testosterone is linked with depression in men, low progesterone is a cause of sleeplessness and hot flashes, and low estrogen leads to depression. There are both herbal and bio-identical hormones that can support these states of being in men and women, and can easily and effectively be supported. It’s even more effective when we are treating you as an individual. Through testing and investigation, the best course of action is decided on!
Dr. Aoife Earls, ND
I’m Aoife Earls and I practice as a naturopathic doctor in Oakville 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. Yes, I was in school for a long time. Phew!
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; grief, anxiety, depression, fatigue and chronic illness arising from life stressors and immune system changes that come with those states.
