Licensed Naturopathic Doctor – Natural Beauty Clinic, BC
At Natural Beauty Clinic, we offer an integrative treatment for acne, melasma and rosacea that goes beyond surface-level skincare. As a naturopathic skin clinic in British Columbia, we understand that true skin healing involves more than creams or prescriptions—it requires a holistic skin health approach that addresses the root causes and supports the body’s natural balance.
As a naturopathic doctor practising in British Columbia, I take a root-cause, integrative approach to skin health. We combine advanced aesthetic technologies with a foundation rooted in the five naturopathic pillars:
1. Correcting Nutritional Deficiencies
2. Modulating Inflammation
3. Supporting Detoxification
4. Strengthening Mitochondria, Organs, and Systems
5. Balancing Hormones
These pillars allow us to design holistic skin protocols that support not just the skin—but your entire health from the inside out.

Understanding Acne, Melasma, and Rosacea from the Inside Out
Acne
Acne can stem from multiple causes including inflammation, hormonal shifts, nutrient imbalances, stress, and gut dysbiosis. Our aim is to address both visible symptoms and the underlying metabolic or endocrine factors that may be contributing to flare-ups.
Melasma
Often driven by sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, or impaired skin barrier function, melasma can be persistent. We focus on gentle pigmentation support, skin repair, and protection without harsh chemical exfoliants.
Rosacea
Rosacea presents as redness, flushing, sensitivity, and visible vessels. Our treatment plans are designed to reduce inflammation, strengthen the skin’s resilience, and support long-term barrier repair.

Enhancing Results with Integrative Therapies
Medical Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy involves the therapeutic use of medical-grade ozone to enhance cellular oxygenation and support detoxification. At Natural Beauty Clinic, we offer:
• Major Autohemotherapy (1, 5, and 10 passes): A small amount of your blood is enriched with ozone and returned to the bloodstream.
• IV Ozone Therapy: Administered directly into the blood under medical supervision.
• G6PD Screening: Required prior to ozone therapy to ensure safe administration.
Benefits may include:
• Collagen stimulation and clearer skin
• Inflammation modulation
• Cellular detoxification
• Immune system support
These therapies are always recommended based on clinical judgment and your health profile.
IV Therapy for Skin Health
Our custom IV treatments provide hydration, antioxidants, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream to support metabolic function and skin repair. Common options include:
• Skin Glow IV: For antioxidant support and hydration
• Detox IV: To assist natural detox pathways
• Hormone Support IV: For those navigating acne or melasma related to hormonal changes
• Pure Energy or Immune IVs: Often added for those with chronic inflammation or stress-related flare-ups

Grounded in the Five Naturopathic Pillars
Our approach is always rooted in the pillars that define naturopathic medicine. Here’s how they apply in skin treatment:
• Nutrition: We assess nutrient levels (e.g. zinc, vitamin A, omega-3s) and gut health as a foundation for healthy skin.
• Inflammation: We aim to identify and regulate systemic inflammation through lifestyle, supplements, and gentle therapies.
• Detoxification: We support liver and gut function, which are key for skin clarity.
• Mitochondrial/Organ Support: Energy production and organ function are addressed using tools like IV therapy, botanicals, or ozone when indicated.
• Hormone Balance: Hormonal acne or pigment changes are explored with functional testing and hormone-supportive strategies.
All care is designed in alignment with current evidence and within the regulatory scope of naturopathic medicine in British Columbia.
