Natural Healing With Heart

Dr. Katelyn Mudry is a naturopathic doctor in British Columbia, Canada. She helps people feel better by using a wholistic approach to health. Naturopathic medicine uses standard western medical techniques for diagnosis and applies wholistic thinking and treatment to all common, and uncommon, conditions.

Dr. Mudry LOVES her work because she gets to help people improve their health, gain energy, confidence and optimal well being, and get back to being their BEST SELVES. She meets everyone where they are at in their health journey and can help people take the first step, or a giant leap, towards better health. She knows there is effective natural medicine out there and wants to help you find the perfect treatment for you!

When not in the clinic or making herbal medicines Dr. Mudry can be found in the mountains with her sweet husband, baby, and doggo, in her kitchen cooking up a feast (gluten free and vegan for this doctor), reading a book (or four) and laughing with her dear family and friends. Some of her favourite things include: Alpine snow in the summer and winter, fantasy books, korean tv shows, the planet saturn, and tahini.
