Dr. Cheryl Cooper

Dr. Cheryl Cooper, ND

Chief Medical Officer

As a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine I have been practicing as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2005. Before becoming an ND, I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Kinesiology from the University of Ottawa and worked as a health and fitness leader for many years. Helping others achieve better health has been a passion of mine for over 25 years. Prior to my recent return to my hometown of Calgary, I owned and operated two integrative health clinics in Ottawa.

Dr. Cheryl Cooper, ND

Beyond my extensive training to become a Naturopathic Doctor, I am continuously striving to learn and grow my knowledge to be able to help my patients achieve the best health possible. I am certified in Mind/Body Medicine from Harvard Medical School, IV Therapy, Biological Medicine, Functional Medicine, I have been a doula, a Yoga and meditation teacher, and I have had the privilege of working and training with some of the world’s leaders in Women’s Heath and Biological Medicine.

 

Over my years of practice, I have learned the importance of addressing my patients from a holistic perspective to guide them in their path to optimal health. I provide a thorough assessment of my patients to understand their health challenges as much as possible. I use a variety of the modalities I am trained in to ensure that my patients are on a path to address their health concerns and achieve their health goals.

 

In my years of working as a Naturopathic Doctor I have learned that is essential to treat each person as an individual and to look at all aspects of their health to provide the best care possible for my patients. I enjoy working with patients in all ages and stages of life but am very successful in treating women with hormone and endocrine system imbalances and individuals dealing with stress/burnout and all the health issues that come with these challenges.

 

I am very excited to be joining Vitality Biomed and look forward to meeting you and guiding you on a path towards better health!

Dr. Diana Craciunescu, MD, CFPC

Since her discovery of functional medicine, she has helped hundreds of patients claim back their health and thrive again!
