Sarah Tayebi is a Licenced Medical Doctor in Iran since 2005 and a recent graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine with a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. She integrates her knowledge and experience of conventional medicine, treatments and side effects of medications with naturopathic medicine as it allows her to provide clients with a well designed and customized treatment plan.

Through her years of experience in treating from both aspects, she believes the holistic, individualized and integrative approach is the best health care model and treatment option  especially in chronic conditions

. Long term health care and wellbeing are not achievable through a quick office visit, it comes with a good patient-doctor relationship, medical knowledge, patient education, counselling, motivational interviews and behavioural changes as well as covering different aspects of the condition and addressing the root cause.
