Dr. Maya Matthews
Dr. Maya Matthews has dedicated over a decade to studying health and natural medicines. As a Naturopathic Doctor, she firmly believes in the body’s innate ability to heal itself, given the right environment and support.
Her deep passion for women’s health and hormones, combined with her extensive knowledge in natural functional therapies, provides her with a unique blend of clinical expertise and holistic understanding.
Dr. Maya’s journey mirrors that of many women she serves. During her undergraduate studies in Honours Health Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, she experienced heavy, painful periods, thyroid issues, intense fatigue, and unreliable digestion. Consistently dismissed by her doctors and told these symptoms were a ‘normal part of being a woman,’ she was offered only hormonal contraceptives or anti-anxiety medication as solutions.
Determined to find the root cause of her health issues, Dr. Maya took matters into her own hands. This personal experience has fueled her empathy and understanding for her clients’ struggles, having walked the same path herself.
Dr. Maya is deeply moved when she sees women taught to ignore their body’s signals, often being told by other healthcare providers that it’s ‘in their head’ or ‘typical for a woman.’
As a child, Dr. Maya was shy, quiet, and reserved, often afraid to be seen. However, as she has continued her journey through life, she has grown more comfortable embracing her unique personality. She is sassy, opinionated, quirky, and has a love for learning new things. Dr. Maya’s excitement for her patients is easy to see. She truly takes great joy in cheering on the women around her as they step into their own power.
Dr. Maya doesn’t aspire to be like all the other doctors. She refuses to hide behind a white lab coat or be a cold, distant figure reflecting back to her patients.
Instead, she strives to form genuine connections with her clients. She wants them to see that she is human too, with a personality full of fire and sass. By sharing herself openly, she has observed that her clients heal more quickly, knowing they are interacting with a real, compassionate person.
Dr. Maya values freedom, autonomy, and adventure. She places a high priority on self-trust and works to help her clients build that same trust within themselves. Her goal is to empower women to feel connected with their bodies, their intuition, and their body awareness, enabling them to make decisions that are in their best interest.
She is on a mission to elevate the energy of the women around her, helping them step into their power and reclaim their voices as they continuously grow into the highest version of themselves.
