Dr. Colleen Hartwick, ND, is a licensed naturopathic doctor with a trauma-informed and compassionate approach, she specializes in addressing the interconnected roots of physical and emotional health, helping patients uncover and treat the underlying causes of their symptoms rather than focusing solely on surface-level relief.

Dr. Hartwick graduated from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2011. She established her family-focused practice in downtown Campbell River in 2012, where she has provided individualized care to patients across Vancouver Island and beyond for over 14 years. She is licensed to practice naturopathic medicine in both British Columbia, in good standing with the CCHPBD and Alberta, in good standing with the CNDA.

Her philosophy emphasizes the profound link between mental and physical well-being. Dr. Hartwick integrates evidence-based naturopathic therapies—such as clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, and lifestyle counseling—with gentle mind-body techniques drawn from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. She creates safe, supportive spaces for patients to explore how emotional experiences, stress, and survival strategies may contribute to conditions like digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, autoimmunity, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia, migraines, and more.

Dr. Hartwick has a particular interest in mental health and trauma as core factors in disease, alongside diet and nutrition, digestive health, autoimmune conditions, skin health and male/female hormone optimization. Her goal is to empower patients to reconnect with their body’s natural healing capacity through personalized plans that combine natural therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

Dr. Hartwick’s practice at Alberta Naturopathic reflects her commitment to root-cause, whole-person medicine delivered with empathy and scientific rigor.
