Background:
Dr. Erika Kneeland is a Naturopathic physician practicing in Courtenay, B.C. She moved to the Comox Valley in 2009 and is thrilled to be practicing naturopathic medicine in such a beautiful and health-oriented community.
Dr. Kneeland
is a graduate from the Boucher Institute of
Naturopathic Medicine, Western Canada’s only
accredited Naturopathic Medical School.
Prior to her four years of Naturopathic
Medical training, she obtained a Bachelor of
Science degree, with honours, from the
University of Calgary, and wrote an
undergraduate thesis on the level of
empirical evidence standing behind natural
medicines.
Training:
In addition to
the medical training standard for all
primary care physicians, Dr. Kneeland has
further training in clinical nutrition (diet
and supplements), Western botanical
medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and
acupuncture, classical and complex
homeopathy, Bowen therapy and lifestyle
counseling. (Detailed information on these
modalities can be found on the opposite side
of this page.). She is certified in First Aid, CPR, Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Intravenous therapies. She loves naturopathic medicine because it has provided her with many tools to choose from when designing individual treatment plans for her patients.
Philosophy:
Dr. Kneeland
believes the key to health is revealing the
underlying cause of one’s health concerns. Because naturopathic medicine treats the whole person and not just symptoms of a disease, anyone can benefit from naturopathic medicine. |
