Dr. McPhie is very passionate about treating the whole family, from wee ones to wise ones, with naturopathic medicine. She is an avid supporter of children’s health and prevention. As a mother of three boys and having a long standing naturopathic pediatric practice she knows the value of naturopathic medicine in keeping our children healthy and happy. Over the last few years, she has started to focus on mental wellness and brain health as she notes an alarming increase in neurological and mental diseases in all ages. Anxiety, depression, dementia, MS, ALS, concussion syndrome, …..so many areas of concern. As a general ND though, she loves her days in practice because she sees such a variety of cases from allergies to urticaria and everything in between.
She has studied the effects of social connection in depth and believes that families, companies, schools and corporations all benefit from learning to communicate and connect in a healthy way. Dr. McPhie believes that healthy connection and communication with ourselves, others and nature is vital for optimal health and longevity. Dr. McPhie lectures frequently in schools, collages, to her peers and the public about the importance of connection in combating the profound effects of loneliness. We truly are better together.
