Dr. Courtney Holmberg, BSc ND

It's so nice to meet you. I'm Dr. Courtney Holmberg, BSc ND, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, speaker, entrepreneur, & yoga enthusiast based in Toronto. With over a decade of experience treating complex hormonal, digestive & autoimmune disorders, including my own personal journey resolving my PCOS and digestive issues, I recognize that our system often fails those looking for answers. If your labs return 'normal' but you do not feel well, know that I am committed to engaging in thorough testing and assessments, looking beyond the numbers, and ultimately working to address the underlying cause of concerns through functional medicine, all with the goal of getting you back to feeling like your best self. I see patients both in-office at my Naturopathic Clinic on Queen West, and virtually via a secure telemedicine platform.
