      <image:title>Events and Courses - Radiant Women Collective - What If Perimenopause Could Be Your Portal to Power? Midlife isn't the end of vitality—it's the beginning of your most radiant chapter. For many women it is a transition that occurs during their highly productive, high income years. To serve you best as you step into it, you need more than generic advice. You need a guide who understands the science AND the soul of this transition. Radiant Woman Collective is a supportive 12-week community program led by Dr. Christina Weir, ND—blending naturopathic medicine, hormone literacy, detoxification protocols, and feminine embodiment practices. This isn't just another course. It's a sisterhood of women reclaiming their energy, wisdom, and radiance.</image:title>

      <image:title>Courses and Blog - Grow Your Own Herbal Apothecary: 6 Easy, Powerful Herbs for Home Gardens - As a naturopathic doctor who honors the roots of our medicine, I find that growing herbal plants, medicines and foods is an important part of staying grounded in healing power of nature. Naturopathic doctors nowadays have a variety of ways that they treat their patients and keeping my hands in the dirt and honouring the cycles of the year keeps me grounded in the philosophies of naturopathic doctors before me. I believe that fresh medicine is more powerful for patients as well as is an opportunity for intention to be placed into the medicine while it grows.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Growing your own herbs is a deeply rewarding way to connect with nature, support your well-being, and empower your family’s health. I have suggested 6 herbs that are all ones that I have grown for several years and love to visit each year. These six herbs are not only easy to grow but also pack a punch when it comes to their uses and benefits. Let’s explore why you’ll want to add mugwort, fennel, marshmallow, chamomile, ashwagandha, and lemon verbena to your home garden.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Courses and Blog - Navigating Perimenopause and Menopause - A Naturopathic Guide to Thriving Through the Transition</image:title>
      <image:caption>If you're in your late 30s, 40s, or 50s and noticing changes in your body, mood, or energy—you're not alone, and you're not imagining it. Perimenopause and menopause represent one of the most profound transitions in a woman's life, yet so many of us enter this phase feeling unprepared, unsupported, and uncertain about what's happening. As a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health, I've walked alongside hundreds of women through this journey. What I've learned is this: menopause isn't something to simply endure—it's an opportunity to reclaim your health, deepen your self-knowledge, and step into a new chapter with vitality and wisdom.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Booking Links - Dr. Katie Barr, ND</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hi I’m Dr. Katie Barr, ND I have always had a love of plants, nature, and healing which was instilled within me at a young age by my mother who had an alternative medical practice in Kitsilano for many years. I spent my university days studying Biology and Botany at UBC, and then completed my naturopathic medical training at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine. I am passionate about empowering my patients to take charge of their health by providing the tools, information, and simple steps to implement lasting change. It is important for me to treat the whole person (mind, body, spirit) by becoming a partner in the healing journey. Everyone experiences day to day stress to varying degrees, which is either processed or stored in the body to create imbalances which may lead to disease. By using sophisticated biological testing and healing modalities such as Herbal Medicine, Integrated Body Psychotherapy, and Acupuncture we can create the right conditions in the mind and body that are essential for healing. I’m excited to share my knowledge, and help create an environment of well-being through teaching healthy living practices and utilizing all the natural healing modalities. From this, we can heal ourselves and become the masters of our own health. When not in the clinic, you can find me outside exploring nature with my dog, working on my next knitting project, or on my family’s farm Cortes Island. I look forward to meeting you and would love to know how I can help you to reach your health goals.</image:caption>
