Growing up on Saltspring Island in a family with an appreciation for wholesome diet and

natural medicine inspired Dr. Cooper to study Nutritional Science at the University of

British Columbia .  When health concerns encouraged her to seek naturopathic treatment

and addressing the root cause resulted in a true cure, she felt motivated by her doctor's

holistic approach.  After earning a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Nutritional Science

at UBC, she went on to graduate from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in

Toronto, Ontario and returned home to the West Coast to pursue a rewarding career in

naturopathic medicine.  Presently, Dr. Cooper has a clinical practice at Island Integrative

Health in Nanaimo, BC.  She also offers virtual appointments where suitable for

convenience and to serve patients in more remote areas of British Columbia.

While at CCNM, Dr. Cooper completed her clinical internship at the Robert Schad

Naturopathic Clinic in Toronto, including the Pediatrics Specialty Shift ; an externship at the

Oakville Naturopathic Clinic ; and a naturopathic medical brigade with Natural Doctors

International in Ometepe, Nicaragua.  She was thrilled to have the opportunity to provide

naturopathic care to these communities while gaining invaluable experience which informs

her ongoing practice.

Dr. Cooper has always been passionate about the academic aspect of naturopathic

medicine.   She has frequently taught Nutrition and supervised in the teaching clinic at the

Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine , as she finds it incredibly rewarding to work

with students while contributing to her profession.  Dr. Cooper has also appeared as a guest
