My focus in practice is women’s health, stress, digestive concerns and autoimmune conditions. I am passionate about helping women get to the root of their health concerns, and as a result, reduce PMS and regulate their periods, reduce menopausal symptoms, increase energy levels, heal digestive upset and ease stress and anxiety through dietary and lifestyle changes, high quality supplementation and acupuncture. I pride myself in educating my patients so they can leave each appointment feeling empowered and confident in reaching their health goals! My personal experience of feeling a sense of helplessness during my own healthcare journey gives me a unique perspective and allows me to connect with each of my patients on a deeper level. We work as a team to achieve your health goals and I am there every step of the way to support you.
I am Dr. Erica Costabile and I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario. I graduated from Laurier University in 2017 with a Double Major degree in Biology and Chemistry and won an award for the Best Written Chemistry Thesis! I graduated university with an open-mind of wanting to get into the field of medicine, but was unsure of which path to take. As I lived in Italy as an Au Pair, I developed a major interest in healing from a natural approach. The longer I lived abroad, the more I learned about the world of Naturopathic Medicine and the importance of healing from the root cause. Soon after, I applied to the Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in North York. Throughout my time seeing patients, I have grown an increased interest in women’s health, skin, and digestion as the connection between them is so impactful to daily life. My goal is to find the root cause and provide a combination of diet, lifestyle, and preventative approaches to help achieve all health goals, in a way that fits you best.
When I’m away from the clinic, you can find me snuggling up with my dog Turbo or at home in my “lab” creating all natural skincare products and candles for my small business, Barely There Skincare. It’s rare to find me relaxing, but when I do, I seek out hiking, shopping, and going to the cottage.
