Dr. McPhie’s passion for medicine and healing began at a young age growing up in

southern Africa. Building on her love of the natural world and science, Dr. McPhie

completed an undergraduate degree in biology at McGill University in Montreal. She

then went on to complete a further four years of study in Naturopathic Medicine at the

Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. After two years of clinical practice in

Toronto, Dr. McPhie returned to Vancouver in 2000. Since then she has operated a

successful family practice, seeing patients of all ages on the west side of Vancouver. She

opened her own practice, The Village Clinic, in 2011 in Tsawwassen. The Village Clinic

has since expanded into a collaborative interdisciplinary clinic.

Dr. McPhie now has a general naturopathic practice. She treats a wide variety of

conditions and ages including digestive disorders, allergies, anxiety, depression, sports

injuries, immune disorders, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, and many other

chronic conditions. The clinic caters to walk in clients and holds flu prevention clinics.

Dr. McPhie utilizes many modalities of practice including nutrition, homeopathy,

botanical medicine, use of vitamins and minerals and acupuncture.

Dr. McPhie lectures frequently at universities, colleges and to the public. She was the

recipient of the David Schleich President’s Award of Excellence and the Dr. Patricia

Wales Award for her significant contribution to the development of the naturopathic

profession in Canada. She was also recognised by UBC for her many years as a mentor

in the nutritional sciences program.

Dr. McPhie truly believes in the power and beauty of collaborative medicine.
