Hello! I’m Dr. Shelley Burns, a Naturopathic Doctor with over 20 years of experience. Originally from Montréal, I moved to Toronto to further my education in Naturopathic Medicine. Before transitioning to naturopathy, I worked as a social worker with individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health concerns.

I completed my training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, receiving the NaturoMedic Award for proficiency, and hold an Honours BA in Psychology and Philosophy, a Master of Laws in Health Law, and certification in Complementary and Integrative Medicine from Harvard Medical School.

My passion for Naturopathic Medicine led me to establish the Naturopathy Act, 2007 in my tenure as the Chair of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors and I currently sit on the council of the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.  I supervise at the Robert Schad Naturopathic clinic (the educational clinic of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine) and the Sherbourne Health Centre working with individuals who have been diagnosed with HIV.  

Areas of focus

• Digestive system issues including microbiome enhancement

• Autoimmune conditions  

• Hormonal issues including perimenopause, thyroid and adrenal imbalances

I have a strong interest in precision medicine, focusing on prevention and health optimization. I believe in treating individuals, not populations. My approach emphasizes the gut-brain connection and its impact on hormonal, immune, and mental health.

I also enjoy spending time with my dog PeggySue, foraging mushrooms, identifying medicinal herbs, and making maple syrup. I look forward to helping you on your path to optimal health!

With all that said, I believe you deserve the best possible health outcomes and I look forward to being a part of your health journey!
