Dr. Maria Boorman has been practicing naturopathic medicine in Victoria since 1999. She uses her wealth of experience, curiosity, research skills and intuition to bring light to health concerns that have yet to be diagnosed and she has a methodical and common sense approach to treatment. In her practice, she uses nutritional counselling; nutritional supplementation; herbal medicine; intravenous therapeutics; and the cautious prescribing of pharmaceutical medications, including bioidentical hormones. She has a particular interest in treating complex, chronic illnesses such as autoimmune conditions, hypermobility syndrome, mast cell activation, dysautonomia/POTS and chronic infections such as lyme disease. She enjoys managing hormonal and endocrine disturbances including perimenopause, menopause, hashimotos/graves thyroiditis, and low testosterone in men. She embraces the fundamentals of naturopathic medicine and truly looks for the root cause of all illness. Most of all, she likes to focus on building strong and caring relationships with her patients as she assists them with whatever health issues they have encountered. Dr. Boorman has now begun seeing new patients again after a long hiatus. She is available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays working out of Hawthorne Naturopathic Centre.
