A Little Bit About Dr. Alex
As a young girl, I spent a few years of my childhood living in New Delhi, India. There I discovered at an early age the realities of human suffering and the tremendous power of healing that is possible and available to all people. I would gather plants and pretend to heal animals and anyone that would accept my help!
Years later, I returned as an adult to embark on a Naturopathic student internship in the foothills of the Himalayas working alongside medical and Ayurvedic doctors, Reiki masters and homeopaths.
Prior to entering Naturopathic College I worked in Pharmaceutical Research and had a glimpse of the drug development process.
Recently and to my surprise I found myself moving through peri-menopause and chose to go the Bioidentical Hormone Therapy route. It felt like a difficult time where I often found myself confused, anxious, depressed, tired and of course all the physical symptoms that accompany this transition. I am passionate about helping women during this very pivotal and sacred time in their lives. I am an advocate for Women’s and Environmental Health. I’ve written for the CAND journal on chemical sensitivities and have presented my experience and knowledge on Eating Disorder Recovery.

Kasia is a Holistic Nutritionist and Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) with over a decade of experience in designing and teaching mobility, strength, and Pilates. Her journey into holistic nutrition began with personal health challenges leading to a deeper understanding of optimal thyroid and hormone function. This quest for wellness led her to the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN), where she graduated with honours. She is also an active member of the Canadian Association of Natural Nutritional Practitioners (CANNP).
One of the pivotal discoveries in her health journey was the value of fermented foods, which are an integral part of Kasia’s Polish culture. Integrating these foods into her daily nutrition played a significant role in restoring her gut health, improving digestion, and regulating her hormones. The healing power of food lies in its ability to nourish the body, restore balance, and promote overall well-being through natural, nutrient-rich ingredients.
Kasia believes the body is an interconnected system where each component contributes to maintaining balance. Gut health, mental well-being, energy levels, and hormones are all intertwined, influencing one another. Patients are guided toward restoring and maintaining their body’s vitality through personalized nutritional strategies.
When not working, Kasia keeps herself motivated through strength training, nature walks, and trying new recipes.
