Dr. Annika Vels, ND is a Naturopathic Doctor registered with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario. She is passionate about providing inclusive and trauma-informed healthcare, while empowering patients to be confident about taking charge of their own health. Balancing evidence-based medicine with a holistic approach, she enjoys working with patients on a wide range of health concerns including but not limited to hormonal health, fertility, prenatal care, sports medicine, pain management, and mental health.

She studied at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she completed her internship year at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic on the sports medicine focus shift, and at the Sherbourne Health Centre serving the LGBTQIA+ community in downtown Toronto. Previously studying at the University of Guelph, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science with a minor in psychology. Combined with her training in Reiki, she believes in the importance of integrating mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical factors into treatment.

When not seeing patients, she spends her time working on her family’s horse farm or in the gym training for her next running adventure!
