What It’s Like to Work With Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND
Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND creates a soft place to land in healthcare, offering inclusive, trauma-informed care rooted in evidence, compassion, and genuine connection.
She believes good healthcare starts with being truly seen. Her goal is to create a practice where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered within a medical system that can often feel confusing or stressful. She provides affirming, collaborative, and patient-centred care while respecting each person’s comfort, consent, autonomy, identity, body, relationships, and lived experience.
As a queer naturopathic doctor, Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND is passionate about creating a welcoming environment where people of all identities can show up exactly as they are. She particularly enjoys supporting queer and trans patients through gender-affirming care, fertility education and family building, sexual health, post-operative care, and inclusive primary care.
Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND has a special interest in mental and emotional wellness, skin health, hormonal and reproductive health, digestive health, metabolic health, pediatrics, and allergies. She supports patients navigating concerns such as anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, insomnia, ADHD, acne, eczema, rosacea, menstrual irregularities, PMOS/PCOS, PMS, PMDD, endometriosis, iron deficiency, candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections, IBS, SIBO, bloating, and environmental and food allergies.
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND takes time to understand the whole picture before creating a treatment plan that fits each patient’s life. Her evidence- and trauma-informed approach may incorporate nutrition, lifestyle medicine, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical prescribing, herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutrient injections, allergy testing, and sublingual immunotherapy.
Whether a patient is navigating a new diagnosis, managing a chronic condition, seeking preventative support, or simply hoping to feel more at home in their body, Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND works collaboratively to develop a realistic and affirming approach aligned with their goals. Above all, she hopes every patient leaves feeling more informed, more confident in their body, and reminded that healthcare can—and should—feel safe, collaborative, and even a little joyful.

Outside the Clinic
Outside of practice, Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND is happiest surrounded by trees, swimming in the ocean, or finding a quiet place to read a good book. She brings curiosity and playfulness to her hobbies, from attempting new crafts—with varying degrees of success—to staying active by playing with her queer softball team.
When she is not adventuring outdoors, Dr. Amy Kavanagh ND loves slowing down at home with her two cats, Maisie and Juna—the loves of her life.
