My Story
Dr. Katarina Vaculik, ND, BSc, RN has been helping numerous people suffering from various health problems, including high blood pressure, cholesterol, digestive issues, thyroid disorders, menopause, infertility, skin problems as well as stress and anxiety. She has a special interest in hormonal imbalances and autoimmune disorders, such as Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s and Colitis and others.
Dr. Vaculik has been exposed to healthcare since she was a child, which empowered her to follow in her mother’s footsteps, embracing the healthcare profession. Katarina’s background as a registered nurse working in the Intensive Care Unit helping critically ill patients and an Intravenous Infusion Clinic specializing in the treatment of autoimmune diseases with biological drugs has given her a deep understanding of how natural medicine can make a difference.
Witnessing the unpleasant side effects caused by medications, she became motivated to explore alternative options that would nourish the body without inflicting further harm. Additionally, her personal struggle with hormonal imbalance led her to discover the power of natural therapies, as she found not only lasting improvements in her own health, but also inspired her to become a Naturopathic Doctor.
Driven by her passion to help, she pursued her studies in Naturopathic medicine so she can assist others to prevent the development of chronic conditions that can potentially lead to advanced disease stages by addressing underlying imbalances or risk factors with early prevention, lifestyle modification and immune system support.
During the assessment and follow up visits, Dr. Vaculik identifies the root cause and incorporates and addresses all aspects of a person’s well-being, including physical, mental, emotional, and energetic aspects. To correct imbalances she uses herbal medicine, homeopathy, diet changes, nutritional supplements, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Additionally, she provides dietary, lifestyle, and behavioural counselling to embrace a holistic approach to healing.
Katarina, a devoted mother of two children, places importance on leisure time spent with her little ones, engaging in fun-filled activities and demonstrating a strong commitment to family values. She delights in visiting the beach, exploring the ocean while sailing, finding solace in the peaceful coastal environment and the thrilling experiences they offer. The sun’s radiant energy brings her joy, as she appreciates the comforting warmth and stimulating vitality it provides.
My Passion
My passion for naturopathic medicine stems from my deep belief in the holistic approach to well-being, recognizing that true health encompasses all aspects of our being. To me, it is not solely about addressing physical symptoms, but rather achieving a state of balance and harmony with oneself. Naturopathic medicine resonates with me because it emphasizes the importance of treating the whole person, understanding that imbalances in one area can impact the overall well-being. I am dedicated to helping you embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. My goal is to empower you to find balance and alignment within the self. I strongly believe that when we are in harmony with ourselves, we can unlock our full potential for vibrant health and overall well-being.
