My name is Shelly Verma and I’m a certified, licensed, and experienced naturopathic doctor currently operating in Oakville and Brampton.
To me, the naturopathy definition is simple. It’s about discovering the reason why illnesses and ailments occur in the first place and then using non-toxic, non-invasive ways to correct that reason. I’m highly trained in using different modalities to address and treat the underlying causes of health issues, rather than simply suppressing their symptoms with pill after pill.
My Journey
I’ve always been drawn to holistic medicine. The moment that all of my beliefs and years of training came in to effect for me was when I achieved my desired physical and mental well being naturally by shifting my way of thinking and living. I was going to the gym five times per week and taking required supplements, which didn’t work well for my body type. I finally reached my balanced state when I added natural, healthy foods to my diet and learned how to balance stress levels, which is something I continue to preach to all of my patients.
After Hours
Outside of the clinics, I enjoy simple things. I enjoy going for long 5km walks to clear my mind, cooking up a healthy new creation in the kitchen, balancing work life with family life, and continuing my education whenever possible. I speak English, Hindi, and Punjabi!
