Dr. Patricia J. Wales BSc ND    
Doctor of Naturopathic medicine

Dr. Patricia Wales ND graduated with a BSc (Hons Chem) and worked at the Food and Drug Directorate in Ottawa detecting pesticides in food before she decided to become a health care professional.  She graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto in 1981 and practiced in Thunder Bay and Toronto before returning to her hometown of Calgary in 1996.

Dr. Wales focuses her naturopathic practice on women’s health and general family care.  Her general family care practice ranges from infants to the golden years and emphasizes stress-proofing, optimum nutrition and healthy lifestyle habits. 

Individual treatment and prevention programs address concerns such as

  • "I just don't feel well" – assessment of underlying barriers to health and how to remove them.
  • Digestive disorders such as burping & flatulence, pain & discomfort, GERD, IBS, IBD (Crohn’s & Ulcerative Colitis)
  • Allergies & food sensitivities, asthma, eczema
  • Women’s health issues including breast conditions, pre-menstrual syndrome, period irregularities, endometriosis, menopause, fertility, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts
  • Family health challenges - preventing colds & flus, optimizing nutrition for the whole family
  • Children’s health from infants to teens – enhancing immune response to colds & flus, asthma, eczema, ADD/HD, increasing school performance
  • Chronic conditions including high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue, osteoporosis / osteopenia, and arthritis

Dr. Wales uses Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, In-Office Lab Tests and other lab tests as indicated to select and monitor individual treatment programs.  She has also taught these methods to naturopathic doctors and other health professionals across Canada.  Dr. Wales hosts Breast Thermography Clinics 4 times a year as part of her program to promote breast health.

Dr. Wales continues to be active in both provincial and national naturopathic associations. She has been instrumental in modernizing the laws for naturopathic medicine in Ontario and Alberta, and in changing the process for regulation of nutritional supplements, botanicals and homeopathic medicines in Canada.

Blending scientific knowledge and her years of clinical experience, Dr. Wales makes the concepts and practical approach of Naturopathic Medicine come alive for her patients, the public and other health care professionals.
