Katie graduated with a degree of Naturopathic Medicine from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in New Westminster, B.C. (2019) and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia in Biology and Botany (2014). I am a member of the Cortes Community Health Associated board, and have clinical practices based out of Cortes Island, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, B.C.

I am passionate about empowering my patients to take charge of their health by providing the tools, information, and simple steps to implement lasting change.

Everyone experiences day to day stress to varying degrees, which is either processed or stored in the body to create imbalances which may lead to disease. By using advanced biological testing and healing modalities such as Nutrition, Lifestyle Counselling, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Nutraceuticals we can create the right conditions in the mind and body that are essential for healing. I’m excited to share my knowledge, and help build the conditions to create well-being in the mind, body and spirit.

When not in the clinic, you can find me outside exploring nature with my dog, working on my next knitting project, or making one of my regular trips to the family farm on Cortes Island.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you in your healing journey. Please book a complimentary meet and greet to see if we can work together to reach your health goals.

Dr. Katie Barr, ND
