Dr. Kriya was introduced to naturopathic medicine under difficult circumstances when her father was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and part of his treatment involved integrative cancer care. After his passing, Dr. Kriya started seeking out her own naturopathic care and learned the value of a healthy diet, stress management and an active lifestyle to improve one’s life. She also delved into the world of botanicals, supplements and acupuncture, as well as the many other therapies that naturopathic doctors have to offer. With the encouragement of her Naturopathic Doctor, she decided to pursue naturopathic medicine while she was still completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto. After completing her Bachelor of Science, she enrolled at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and graduated with a Doctor of Naturopathy degree in 2020.
