Dr. Jessica Gurske, BSc, ND

Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica, a Naturopathic Doctor who has been practicing in KW since 2010. I completed my Bachelors of Science at the University of Waterloo and after completing my Doctor of Naturopathy in Toronto, returned to the area to practice. It was after my third year of undergrad that I really knew healthcare was my calling. After travelling to Central America with International Service Learning Organization, providing healthcare to under-serviced areas throughout Costa Rica and Nicaragua, I recognized the limitations of our allopathic medical system. I didn’t want to focus on “sick care” but wanted to help patients take control of their health in a realistic way and prevent (or reverse) illness.

My practice always focuses on diet and lifestyle with a primary focus on women’s health including hormone imbalance, stress, cortisol balance, weight loss, sleep and menstrual concerns. Being a mother myself, I strive to make all of my treatment recommendations individualized, realistic and attainable, supporting women through all stages, from understanding the menstrual cycle, hormones and fertility to PMS, PCOS, irregular menses, perimenopause and menopause. My goal is always to support and empower my patients to reach their health goals.

In addition, in practice I also provide acupuncture including fertility acupuncture and asian medicine acupuncture as well as dry needling for muscle concerns/pain and facial rejuvenation (cosmetic) acupuncture

I completed my four year Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario and hold my provincial license through the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO). I am also a member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND).
