Dr. Amali Firhoj, ND
About Me
If we haven't already met yet, my name is Dr. Amali Firhoj, ND- welcome to my site! I am a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Georgetown and Kitchener, ON.
I am a member of both the Ontario and Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND/CAND) and am registered and in good standing with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario.
​My Journey
I was first introduced to naturopathic medicine in the summer of my 3rd year of undergrad. I was physically exhausted, and did not understand why I wasn't feeling good, despite my family doctor saying I was "healthy".
The office manager at my summer job suggested I see an ND, so I did. My experience was profound and re-ignited my passion for the human body. I started taking every science course that was available to me at the time.
A few months later, I decided to pursue Naturopathic medicine as a career.
​Education and Training
After completion of my BA, I attended the 4-year program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. During this time, I:
-
Completed a year-long placement at Sherbourne Health Centre, a Community Health Clinic for patients who were members of the HIV+, LGBTQ+ and/or refugee community in downtown Toronto
-
Completed internships at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic and Rockwood Naturopathic Clinic
-
Was an intern selected on the Fertility Focus Shift, serving patients exclusively for womens health and those trying to conceive
I am currently working towards certification through the Institute of Functional Medicine.
