Dr. Jodie Tatlock, Dr. Renee Purdy, Dr. Meghan Oxford, and Dr. Ashley Shea are available for appointments at EASTND. During a consultation with one of our Naturopathic Doctors your health history will be thoroughly reviewed, and a unique individualized treatment plan will be created to address and treat your ongoing symptoms.
Being trained as generalists, they are happy to explore a variety of conditions like: anxiety, stress, digestion, hormone imbalances, fatigue, burnout, skin, depression, fibromyalgia, etc.
Dr. Tatlock works closely with stress, burnout, and mindfulness, while Dr. Purdy is particularly interested in helping those make lifestyle changes and address overall well being.
Our naturopathic doctors work closely with fertility clinics to help clients conceive either naturally or to prepare them for IUI/IVF by treating primarily through the use of acupuncture, supplementation, and IV nutrient therapy, where as Renee tends to provide in-depth lifestyle coaching integrating supplementation, injections, and acupuncture where she feels it is necessary.

Naturopathic Medicine is founded on the principles of prevention and optimization. All patients are recommended quarterly checkups. Not only do they help you stop health problems before they arise, they leave you healthier than ever with more manageable symptoms.
A professional consultation is your first step to sustainable health that cannot be attained with medication alone. It involves a thorough health review, recommendations for further testing, and an individual treatment plan. Even if your current medication works for you, it's always possible to further optimize your health.
Naturopathic Doctor
A Naturopathic Doctor is a healthcare practitioner. Naturopathic Doctors have 8 years of education and complete a year working internship before graduating.
Naturopathic Doctors differ from your GP as they focus on natural treatments instead of pharmaceutical drugs. They are trained in assessing blood-work and pharmacology to ensure safe administration of natural therapies without drug interactions or side-effects.
