Naturopathic Doctor

Dr Kayla Ekkel

Dr. Kayla is passionate about helping people build lasting health through education, collaboration, and personalized care. She believes that true wellness develops over time through consistent, meaningful changes rather than quick fixes. Her goal is to provide patients with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to better understand their bodies, make informed decisions, and achieve long-term health and vitality.

A Calgary native, Dr. Kayla earned her Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Calgary before pursuing her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in New Westminster, British Columbia. Her background in human movement and natural medicine allows her to take a comprehensive approach to patient care, addressing both current symptoms and the factors that may be contributing to them.

Dr. Kayla recognizes that every individual has a unique health story. Rather than focusing solely on a diagnosis, she takes the time to understand each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, personal experiences, and health goals. By identifying the underlying contributors to illness and dysfunction, she develops customized treatment plans designed to support the body’s natural healing processes while aligning with each patient’s priorities and lifestyle.

Her treatment approach may include clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, and homeopathic therapies. By integrating evidence-informed naturopathic treatments with individualized care, Dr. Kayla strives to help patients restore balance, improve resilience, and feel their best at every stage of life.

When she’s away from the clinic, Dr. Kayla enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring local walking trails, playing tennis, caring for her growing collection of houseplants, and relaxing with her pets.
