Dr Penny Seth-Smith ND was born and educated up to BSc (Hons) level in England. During her childhood and her first career in consumer protection law, she had various health problems that modern western medicine could not name or treat. She was sucessfully treated using the complementary medicines of nutrition, homeopathy and acupuncture. When she found out that she could learn about all of these at one school, she left her job in London, and packed her bags for Ontario, to become a naturopathic doctor.  Dr Penny has been in full time practice for over 30 years. She now especially enjoys applying her experience to understanding and peeling back the layers for people with complex chronic medical problems. Often the the long term effects of childhood trauma play into this, and she finds that helping with those effects can help somone’s mood, as well as their health. Another focus of practice is the treatment of anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotinal conditions. She also delights in helping people with problems that are difficult or expensive to treat with modern western medicines, such as migraines.  Another focus of her practice is helping people avoid having to use drug treatments that are addictive, such as for insomnia. Homeopathy is one of her favourite treatment methods as she has found it to help people who have tried so many other types of treatment without success. She loves that it is non-toxic, non addictive, often fast-acting, and doesn’t trigger side-effects.  Bio-feedback, to assess which remedy or herb or nutritional supplement suits you best, is part of all appointments. Dr Penny welcomes meet-and-greet phone calls, so you can get a sense of whether you feel a good connection with her.
