A Message from the Clinic Director/ Owner:

As I reflect on the past 10 years, my heart is filled with gratitude for everyone who has been part of our clinic family. Thank you for trusting us with your care, your stories, your hopes, and the health of the people you love most.

Saskatoon Naturopathic Medicine is a rare and special place. We have the privilege of supporting people through so many seasons of life—from preconception and pediatric care to midlife, chronic illness, and end-of-life care. We have celebrated milestones, navigated difficult diagnoses, witnessed profound resilience, and walked alongside thousands of patients throughout their healing journeys.

Over the past decade, we have grown from a team of just two naturopathic doctors to a

robust team of six full-time NDs, allowing us to expand the care and services we offer to

people across Saskatchewan. We know the demand for high-quality naturopathic care

continues to grow, and we remain committed to attracting more talented clinicians to our

province and welcoming them into our growing team. There is still so much more we

hope to offer our community.

To every patient, practitioner, team member, and family who has been part of our story:

you have helped shape who we are. Those who continue to walk through our doors,

and those who are no longer with us, have each left their mark on our clinic, the way we

practice, and the energy that fills our space.

Through the beautiful moments and the deeply challenging ones, it has been an

extraordinary privilege to walk alongside thousands of people on their health journeys.

At Saskatoon Naturopathic Medicine, we believe the best medicine is the medicine

that works for the patient in front of us. And achieving the best outcomes often

means bringing together different therapies, medications, supplements, nutrition,

lifestyle strategies, and medical procedures, with a team of healthcare providers

working together.

More and more Canadians are incorporating natural health products and lifestyle

approaches into their health routines. In fact, a 2024 Health Canada survey found that

73% of Canadians use natural health products, including vitamins and minerals. This

makes access to knowledgeable, trained healthcare professionals who can help

patients navigate these options safely and effectively more important than ever.

We believe naturopathic doctors have a valuable place on the healthcare team—not

only to help people navigate health challenges throughout their lives, but also to support

prevention, build resilience, and maintain health in a world where the demands of

modern living can make wellness increasingly challenging.

As we celebrate 10 years, our commitment remains to evolve alongside emerging

research, advances in assessment tools, and the changing needs and values of our

patients, bringing thoughtful, individualized, high-quality naturopathic care to the people

of Saskatchewan.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to the next decade of

collaboration, compassion, and helping people live healthier, fuller lives. 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amy Velichka, ND
