Dr. Mina’s passion for natural health and medicine began in her early years when she learned about plants and herbalism from her father, local elders, and community healers. This early foundation fostered her commitment to integrating natural healing with modern healthcare.

Originally from the Transylvania region of Romania, Dr. Mina moved to Canada 30 years ago, bringing with her a deep appreciation for the wealth of traditional naturopathic knowledge. In Canada, Dr. Mina spent over 13 years at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children, where she gained extensive experience in genetics research and medical education, particularly focused on rare genetic conditions. This role fostered a profound connection with patients and their families, leaving a lasting impact on her career and outlook.

Due to personal health challenges, Dr. Mina stepped away from full-time work to focus on her recovery. During this time, she became a certified yoga teacher, specializing in therapeutic practices to support healing and overall well-being. Through natural remedies, yoga, and a plant-based diet, she overcame her health challenges, which inspired her to pursue formal studies and become a Naturopathic Doctor.

Now, Dr. Mina is dedicated to empowering others on their wellness journeys, helping them achieve health through holistic and natural approaches. Her areas of expertise include:
