Meet our Practitioners
At Valley Naturopathic Clinic we have an experienced, skilled staff of practitioners.
Dr. Lois Hare, N.D.
Dr. Lois Hare graduated from the now Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1987 and immediately returned to her beloved Nova Scotia to open the first naturopathic practice in the province. Her practice is eclectic with a focus on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing. Her curiosity has led her to study in the jungles of Belize, the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, and the forests of Nova Scotia.
She continues to study Abdominal Massage and recently Somatic Experiencing which she integrates into the basic modalities of nutrition, botanical medicine, life style management, and homeopathy. Her practice is open to all ages, to people interested in preventive medicine or disease management.
