meet the doctor
Hi! I'm Dr. Nadia Mawji
With over 10 years of clinical experience, combined with advanced education after obtaining my naturopathic medical degree, I strive to deliver compassionate, research-informed care for each of my patients. As we work together, you can expect honesty and transparency. You can also expect learn how to apply tools in your everyday life to better your health.
I am incredibly grateful to my patients that put their trust in me to guide them through their health journey. I understand that life has its unexpected turns and as human beings, we are not perfect; nor should we be. However, learning how our bodies operate can provide lifelong insight into addressing the root cause of disease.
This is where naturopathic medicine shines.
Naturopathic medicine is a primary healthcare system that unites modern medicine with traditional medical strategies.
Naturopathic doctors conduct a thorough health history & assessment to treat the patient, not the symptom.
Naturopathic support may be able to help you further your knowledge around how to optimize your health.
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
1. First, do no harm
2. Utilize the body's inherent ability to heal
3. Identify & treat the cause
4. Doctor as teacher
5. Treat the whole person
6. Prevention
Dr. Nadia Mawji, ND offers complimentary Meet & Greet Visits for you find out how Naturopathic Medicine may be able to support you.

Hormone imbalances are incredibly common. What are you doing to feel your best?
Whether it is fatigue, difficulties losing weight, hair thinning, skin tags, not waking up rested in the morning, acne, non-optimal sleep, PCOS, PMS, uterine fibroids, chronic stress, perimenopause, menopause (...the list can go on...) - many of these symptoms are common, but that doesn't make them normal. Depending on the circumstances, testing may be helpful. Naturopathic Medicine approaches can help to address the root cause of your symptoms, versus providing bandaid solutions that may have short term gain, but long-term negative effects.
Autoimmune conditions are becoming increasingly common.
Autoimmune conditions can present with a myriad of symptoms. At times, it can take long to receive an appropriate diagnosis. Did you know that certain blood tests can help guide patients to seek out appropriate care? Some autoimmune conditions can be managed without medication and depending on progression, medications can make a world of a difference. Naturopathic Medicine can support patients adjunctively through diagnosis & management & help to reduce inflammation.
When the body is in "dis-ease", it gives us signs in the form of symptoms.
Addressing the body's intuition by identifying signs & symptoms can help to prioritize proactive health measures. Although prevention cannot be 100% guaranteed, regular screening, blood work & assessment can help to address issues as soon as possible. If you have a diagnosis of a chronic disease, Naturopathic Medicine Modalities can be beneficial in helping to optimize your health. The foundations of health - nutrition, exercise & sleep - are not only nice, they are necessary.
Metabolism is the breakdown of molecules in the body.
Cardiovascular, hormone, nutrient, neurotransmitter markers - can provide us with incredible amounts of information regarding the processing in our bodies. The liver also plays a significant role in all bodily processes - breaking down and excretion of byproducts, hormones and more in the body. A sluggish metabolism can lead to symptoms impacting a variety of health systems in the body. Naturopathic Medicine looks at all of the body systems as a unit, not as separate entities. After all, one of the principles of Naturopathic Medicine is....treat the whole person.
There is no cure for cancer. Naturopathic Medicine can help patients complete conventional medical treatments by helping to reduce side effects when possible.
There are evidence-informed therapies to help with cancer related fatigue, chemotherapy induced symptoms (nausea, peripheral neuropathy, digestive concerns, mood changes), hormone changes, surgery support, sleep, weight maintenance, hot flashes etc. There are also some therapies that are not safe given certain types of cancer and treatments and these can be discussed with you on an individualized basis. Not two people diagnosed with the same type of cancer will experience the same types of concerns and so, integrative cancer care is tailored to your specific situation.
naturopathic integrative
cancer care
Naturopathic Integrative Cancer Care (NICC) uses naturopathic medical principles to complement & support conventional medical treatments including but not limited to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation; with the goal of addressing the whole person.
Conventional medical treatments are incredibly important! The main goal for care is to support the patient's well-being and that the naturopathic therapies recommended do not interact with conventional medical treatments. Dr. Mawji's primary objective is to support patients through conventional medical treatments, so that patients are able to complete necessary treatment cycles with minimal side effects and without compromising the intended purpose of conventional medical treatments.
Patient education is integral. Contrary to popular belief, not all supplements are safe to take with various types of cancers. Please note that Dr. Mawji may make reommendations to stop certain supplements if they negatively interact with conventional medical therapies. This is for your safety.
