About Dr. Darcy Maslen, N.D. (inactive)

Like a lot people, naturopathic medicine was a completely new and unheard of medicine for me. Growing up, I was in and out of hospitals and doctors appointments due to a lot of kidney and bladder issues. For more than 20 years, I was used to taking antibiotics for my chronic bladder infections, and honestly only thought there were doctors, nurses and surgeons in the medical field. It wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s that I questioned “isn’t there a better way to go about this?”. I didn’t want to wait for another bladder infection, I wanted to prevent it. Skip forward to my last year at Laurier University where I had the fortunate opportunity to wander around a post-grad fair and The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine happened to be there. I instantly felt a connection upon reading the brochures and talking to the students and doctors that were representing CCNM. They described all the values about medicine that I resonated with: promoting wellness, natural preventions, getting to the root cause, and empowering the patient to heal themselves. 

I am very grateful to have been able to help my patients achieve their health goals by providing them with personal, safe, and effective individualized care. I want people to know there are options out there not only to help treat conditions themselves, but to help mitigate side effects of medications. Simply put, it is possible to be pro-active rather than just fight disease once you have it. Once you know your choices, then you can make better more informed decisions regarding your health and body. 

Thank you for a wonderful 5 years! I wish you all the very best and a healthy future.

Kind regards,
Dr. Darcy Maslen, N.D. (inactive)
