Meet Dr. Cecilia Ho, ND

Welcome to my practice!

I believe that health is your most valuable asset, and it’s my mission to help you achieve and maintain it naturally. Whether your goal is to stay healthy or address specific health concerns, I’m here to guide you on your journey to optimal well-being—through nutrition, lifestyle, and natural medicine.

My journey towards becoming a naturopathic doctor was shaped from a young age. My parents were both conventional medical doctors, who were also rooted in traditional medicine through their eastern heritage. Growing up surrounded by this fusion of healthcare approaches, I quickly recognized the power of safe, effective natural therapies in restoring health and enhancing quality of life. This early exposure inspired me to pursue naturopathic medicine. I completed my pre-med Bachelor of Science at Brandon University, followed by a four-year graduate program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.

Throughout my practice, I’ve had the privilege of treating a wide range of health conditions, with a focus on:

  • Women’s Health: From fertility issues to menopause
  • Digestive Health: Including IBS, Crohn’s disease, and Colitis
  • Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia

I employ a variety of treatment therapies to help support your body’s journey back to health, such as nutrition and dietary supplements, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and botanical medicine.

I believe that health comes from within, and I empower my patients to take charge of their well-being. Rather than just addressing symptoms, I help uncover the root causes of health imbalances, creating personalized health plans to restore vitality.

Every day, I’m grateful to help people heal and transform their lives. I invite you to explore my website and blog to learn more about my practice. I look forward to working with you on your journey to optimal physical, mental and emotional health!
