As a traditional naturopathic clinic, Westcoast Naturopathic sees the forest for the trees. We practice a holistic type of medicine that helps the body, mind and spirit work together for your optimal health and wellbeing. Since 1999, Dr. Glenda Laxton has focused her Vancouver, BC-based naturopathic practice on families, with a particular specialty in women's and children's health.
We combine proven traditional healing methods with a modern and scientific understanding of how the body works and heals. We take our time with patients so we can get to the root of what ails them and teach their bodies to restore homeostatis-the body's tendency to seek and maintain balance. Westcoast Naturopathic patients overcome illness, address chronic medical issues and feel better for the long term.
