Dr. Erica Volk is a naturopathic physician passionate about the mind-body connection in health and disease. As a general practitioner, her clinical practice includes treatment of a wide range of health complaints, particularly digestive issues, thyroid disease, hormonal imbalance including PMS and menopause, autoimmune disease, anxiety, depression, allergies, fatigue, insomnia, weight challenges, skin complaints, pediatrics, and neurodevelopmental challenges.
She is an expert in natural, gentle, and minimally invasive therapies including clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, counselling, homeopathy, and conventional and specialized laboratory testing. Dr. Volk loves to be a “health detective” for her patients, always focusing on identifying and treating the root cause of disease. Her patients are provided education and tools to optimize their health outside of the clinic.
Dr. Volk is a board-certified, licensed naturopathic doctor with the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia and is a member in good standing with the British Columbia Naturopathic Association and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors. She completed advanced training in classical homeopathy through the New England School of Homeopathy (NESH) and is a candidate for fellowship with the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS). She is always expanding her skills and knowledge through ongoing continuing education requirements.
Prior to attending naturopathic medical school at the National University of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR (NUNM), Dr. Volk experienced chronic digestive issues that were not improved through conventional care. During her years in pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts in English honours at the University of Victoria, she stumbled upon the power of naturopathic medicine, which completely resolved her health issues. This experience sparked a passion for unlocking solutions to even the most stubborn health complaints, and she has been on a mission to help people feel their best ever since.
