Dr. Alice Leys, ND

I strive to help my patients feel empowered to take charge of their own health. My inspiration to pursue naturopathic medicine came from growing up in an integrative medicine clinic, where I saw how my acupuncturist mother helped countless patients who felt unsupported by conventional medicine. This ignited a passion for me to help people improve their overall health using natural and less invasive approaches, and support the body’s own capacity to heal.

Philosophy

In my practice, I am dedicated to creating a place for you to feel heard. I value a collaborative and individualized approach to help you understand and address the root cause of your health challenges. My treatment process combines the latest evidence-based research with traditional mind-body medicine to support your health journey to a happier & healthier quality of life. I understand education and accountability are also paramount for patients to discover what they need to feel their best.

Treatment Process

I will incorporate your personal history and health concerns into a comprehensive and individualized treatment plan dedicated to achieving your health goals. Assessments can include comprehensive bloodwork and testing, physical exams, and a detailed history taking. Depending on your unique health goals, we can utilize a number of therapeutic approaches, including Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine, botanical medicine, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, supplementation, and more.

Education & Experience

I am fully licensed and registered in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. I completed my 4-year Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. Prior to this, I obtained my Honours Bachelor of Health Science degree at Western University in London. During my naturopathic internship, I was selected for in-depth training on an exclusive mental health shift. I have extensive knowledge of Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) passed down from my mother, a TCM practitioner with over 30 years experience. Additionally, I have training in cosmetic acupuncture for anti-aging and facial rejuvenation.

I speak fluent Mandarin Chinese and studied American Sign Language for several years. I love the performing arts, being involved in ensembles all my life including orchestra, jazz, acapella, and even marching bands! When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me in my garden, adventuring outdoors with my dog, or traveling with my husband learning about different cultures and trying new foods!
