Frequently Asked Questions
Is naturopath covered by my extended health insurance plan?
Yes, most extended health insurance plans in Ontario provide coverage for licensed Naturopathic Doctors (NDs). The amount of coverage depends on your plan.

How is naturopathic care different from the care I receive from my family doctor?
Naturopathic care looks at your whole health, not just one symptom or condition. At Nanima Women’s Health, we take time to understand how your digestion, hormones, energy, mood, sleep, lab results and stress all connect. Your care plan may include nutrition support, botanical support, lifestyle changes, and advanced lab testing when needed. We look at your body, mind, and daily routine together so your plan is personal to your whole health.
Naturopathic care also works alongside the care you receive from your family doctor and other healthcare providers. We respect the medical care you already have and help you explore a more holistic long-term wellness. You’re welcome to reach out or book a no-pressure consult if you’d like to see if this approach feels right for you.
How to prepare for your first appointment?
For your first appointment, you don’t need much just a few simple things that help your practitioner understand your health clearly. If you have any recent lab work or imaging results, feel free to bring them along. It’s also helpful to have a list of any medications, supplements, or herbal products you’re currently taking so your practitioner can get a full picture of what’s supporting your body right now.
