Dr. Laura Batson, ND

Ottawa, Virtual

I am known for helping people come home to themselves in a world that is often pulling us away from who we truly are. Disease results from this disconnection. I take a decolonial, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive approach, journeying with folks who are on a path towards greater coherence with themselves, their world, and their purpose in life. I acknowledge the historical, societal and structural injustices that result in some bodies harbouring more inflammation and disease than others:

“Inflammation is a biological, social, economic, and ecological pathway, all of which intersect, and whose contours were made by the modern world.” - Dr. Rupa Mayra, Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice.

I work with you to help your body/mind/soul heal from what it has harboured, while helping you come home to yourself and find your purpose and place in the world.

I run a general practice with a focus on chronic inflammatory conditions, gut-health (SIBO, GERD, IBS, and gut permeability), hormone imbalances, burnout and mental health.
