​
Her focus areas include Women’s Health, Fertility, Gynecology, and Digestion. Dr. Schiavon is accepting new patients for in-person and telemedicine virtual care within the province of British Columbia.
Dr. Schiavon is passionate about supporting women through all stages of their health journey, from first menstruation to the years surrounding menopause. She is dedicated to making her patients feel heard, empowered, and educated, creating goals that are both attainable and sustainable. Her approach is rooted in the belief that establishing the foundations of wellness and removing obstacles to optimal health are essential components of any treatment protocol.
With a focus on women's health and fertility, Dr. Schiavon emphasizes individualized care that honours the unique needs of women at each life stage. She is committed to addressing the root causes of health concerns, whether related to hormonal imbalances, reproductive health, or fertility challenges. By integrating evidence-based natural therapies with a deep understanding of the female body, Dr. Schiavon supports women in their journey toward hormonal harmony, enhanced fertility, and healthy pregnancies.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of the body’s systems, Dr. Schiavon also prioritizes optimizing digestive and thyroid health, addressing metabolic concerns, and building resilience to stress. She values collaboration with other healthcare practitioners to ensure comprehensive care and the best possible health outcomes for her patients.
Dr. Schiavon’s path to Naturopathic Medicine was unconventional; she began her career as an accountant before discovering her true passion for helping women navigate their health journeys. This led her to Vancouver, where she attended the CNME-accredited Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. Here she fell in love with the pacific air and decided to set up her practice.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Schiavon enjoys nourishing food, physical activity, and spending time in nature. She loves strolling along the seawall with her husband and dog, camping, cooking, biking, and hiking. A strong advocate for life balance, she also enjoys sampling natural wines and indulging in chocolate.
