Naturopathic Doctor

Alana Shnier, ND

Dr. Alana takes a root-cause, patient-centered approach to healthcare, combining evidence-based naturopathic medicine with practical, sustainable lifestyle strategies. She works collaboratively with patients to understand the factors contributing to their symptoms and create individualized, targeted treatment plans that support both symptom relief and long-term health. Her goal is to help patients feel empowered, understood, advocated for, and supported throughout their health journey.

Dr. Alana believes that optimal health comes from addressing the foundations of wellness, including nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, hydration, and lifestyle habits. She takes a root-cause approach to care, recognizing that many chronic health concerns share common underlying drivers. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, she works to identify and address the factors contributing to dysfunction while supporting the body's ability to heal. Drawing from a variety of evidence-based therapies, including clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, nutritional supplementation, lifestyle counselling, and laboratory testing, she creates individualized treatment plans that support both symptom relief and long-term wellness.
