Dr. Imane is a licensed Naturopathic Physician in British Columbia with a background as a Medical Doctor from Morocco.
She sees patients with various conditions. Her practice focuses on helping women achieve hormone balance, improve mood and optimize energy throughout different stages of their lives.
Some of the concerns she helps with are:
-Hormone concerns (e.g. fertility support, menstrual disorders, thyroid disorders, hormonal acne, perimenopausal symptoms)
-Metabolic health concerns (e.g. weight gain, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease)
-Mental health concerns (e.g. stress/burnout, anxiety, depression)
-Digestive concerns (eg. food sensitivities, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), celiac disease)
Dr. Imane developed a deep passion for Naturopathic and Integrative Medicine while she was pursuing her medical studies in Morocco.

She became passionate about using natural evidence-based treatments and adopting an integrative, holistic and individualized approach to healthcare.
After getting her medical degree and becoming a general medical practitioner in Morocco, she moved to Canada and earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto. There, she received additional training in mental health and sports medicine.
She aims to make her patients feel safe, understood and empowered about their health. Her clinical experience in 4 different countries (Morocco, Indonesia, Germany, Canada) in addition to her experience as a coordinator of professional exchanges for medical students around the world enable her to provide culturally competent care.
Her scope of practice includes:
physical examinations, standard and functional laboratory testing, lifestyle counseling, clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, physical medicine, acupuncture, intravenous and intramuscular nutrient therapy and pharmaceutical prescriptions when necessary.
Certifications:
-Acupuncture
-Prescriptive authority (pharmaceutical prescriptions)
-Intravenous Nutrient Therapy
