Meet Dr. Laura Brass

(She/Her)

Functional Medicine & Naturopathic Doctor

The Purpose Behind My Practice

I am passionate about helping people, always have been. This drive stems from my own struggles with health, and my commitment to continually work on myself to live the happiest and healthiest life I can.

I know others are going through similar life and health hurdles and I wake up every morning with the desire to inspire, educate, and help them get on the right path.

What’s Special About Working With Me

I am a very personable health care professional and provide a space where you will feel truly heard and cared for. I am highly skilled at untangling and making sense of even the most complicated health puzzle and am an active participant in solving your health problems.

I always go above and beyond for my patients to ensure they get better.

My Education and Professional Experience

I’m a licensed naturopathic doctor with over 15 years of experience, trained at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, with a BSc in Anatomy & Cell Biology from McGill.

I am also a certified functional medicine practitioner through the Institute For Functional Medicine.

My career includes 8 years at MD Direct, an executive medical centre in Toronto, and 4 years in Sydney, Australia, working alongside the former president of the Australian Medical Association, Professor Kerryn Phelps, at the Sydney Integrative Medical Clinic.

In addition to my practice, I am an experienced speaker and writer, with published work in an integrative medical textbook and frequent appearances in media as a lifestyle and health expert.

When I'm Not With My Patients

I'm at home with my kids, dog, cat, husband, and all the adventures that come with it. I am happiest cooking gourmet nutritious meals for my family and whipping up yummy healthy desserts while bopping around to early 90's hip hop music. I am a former ski instructor and used to race on the McGill ski team. I love connecting with my friends and family sharing deep, belly-shaking laughs. At the end of the day, I enjoy curling up with a good book (or TV show) and a big mug of herbal tea.
