About Dr. Dawne

I am passionate about helping ordinary people achieve extraordinary health! I am inspired by those who are trying to help themselves and I want to propel those efforts forward by providing residents of the Bow Valley with naturopathic medicine in Canmore.

My goal is to help you life a life you love. In order to provide the most comprehensive care possible, I have pursued additional training in Functional Medicine, Sports Medicine, Metabolic Disorders, Prolotherapy, injection and IV therapies. I am the only doctor in Canmore providing IV Vitamin Infusions, and one of several offering prolotherapy. Living in one of Canada's most active communities, I consider it critically important to support your ability to move without pain and heal from injury.

Patients can expect me to use a combination of physical exams, lab testing and a detailed medical history. With that information and using a functional medicine approach, I will help you get to the root cause of your health issues.

Gut-Well Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Indigestion? Gas? Bloating? Constipation? Diarrhea? This comprehensive test analyzes markers that indicate how your digestion is working. Absorption, pathogens, overall beneficial bacteria, pancreatic function, and more are evaluated. Distinguish between inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome...and finally get some answers!

Vitamin D

Canada’s general standard of care is that Canadians are likely deficient in Vitamin D and should supplement. But are you supplementing enough? Testing can provide clear direction on how much to supplement with, and for how long

SIBO Testing

Bloating? Bloating all the time, no matter how well you eat? Do you have to wear “stretchy pants” to accommodate abdominal distension? SIBO may be the cause.

Celiac Disease Screening

Bloodwork at a conventional lab can reveal whether or not you are expressing antibodies against gluten and gliadin. Get some answers: do you really have to avoid gluten? Or is something else bothering your digestion?

Thyroid Panel

Tired all the time? Brain fog? Chilly all the time? Constipated? Losing hair? An under functioning thyroid can cause all of these symptoms and more. This comprehensive test looks at total thyroid function, including T3, T4, and anti-TPO levels

Cortisol Levels

Cortisol levels play a critical role in how you feel throughout the day. When they’re too high at night, it’s difficult to sleep. Too low in the morning and it’s difficult to get out of bed. Chronic low or high grade stress can alter how your body produces and responds to this important hormone. Testing can help direct treatment for fatigue and/or anxiety
