These forms of medicine are her passion.
Dr. Kandis Lock, ND then went back to college to obtain all her pre-medical sciences before attending and graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, one of only two accredited naturopathic institutes in Canada. Dr. Kandis works with patients to identify the underlying cause of disease and create individualized treatment plans to support the healing power of the body. She creates a dialogue with her patients, discusses treatment options, and ultimately helps them restore balance and wellness in their lives.

She uses botanical (herbal) medicines, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, cellular drainage and detox, clinical nutrition and homeopathy. She also believes in the importance of an integrative approach to medicine and will work with your MD, specialists, and other health care practitioners.
Dr. Kandis Lock, ND is registered with the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy-Naturopathy (BDDT-N) and is a member in good standing of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND).
