Dr. Tracy Ewashkiw, ND

I am deeply passionate about naturopathic medicine and the holistic approach it offers to patient care. For me, being a naturopath means more than just treating symptoms; it involves being an educator, coach, and motivator in my patients' health journeys. I believe in empowering my patients with knowledge about their health so they can make informed decisions. I see myself as a guide, helping them navigate various treatment options and lifestyle changes to achieve optimal health.

My practice focuses on fertility, women’s health from adolescence to menopause, digestive health, and family medicine. I am dedicated to inspiring individuals and families to improve their health through natural therapies and evidence-based practices. My approach integrates traditional naturopathic techniques with contemporary medical insights, allowing me to address the root causes of health issues, create personalized treatment plans, and educate on preventative medicine. I use a range of therapies, including lifestyle counselling, clinical nutrition, supplementation, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and injection therapy.

Patient care, to me, is about building a strong, trusting relationship with each individual and understanding their unique needs and goals. I strive to create a supportive and compassionate environment where my patients feel heard, valued, and motivated to take charge of their health. Witnessing their transformation and seeing them thrive is incredibly rewarding and fuels my passion for naturopathic medicine every day.

I earned my Doctor of Naturopathy from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, where I also completed training in cosmetic acupuncture. As a registered member of the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta and a participant in the AAND and CAND, my dedication to holistic health is unwavering.

At the age of 17, I had a glimpse of myself as a healer, with the vision of treating the body, mind, and spirit: the whole person. It took some time before I was introduced to Naturopathic medicine but the connection was instantaneous. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education degree, I moved to Toronto to attend the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, one of two accredited colleges in Canada. Graduating valedictorian of my class while starting a family, I felt compelled to move back to Alberta, where there is a need for naturopaths.

It has been an honour to serve the communities of Sylvan Lake, Red Deer, and surrounding areas since 2020. My heart is in working in the field of Integrative Oncology, helping people with cancer navigate through treatment options that optimize their body’s ability to fight cancer. This journey often involves physical, emotional, and spiritual components, through which I feel privileged to help guide them.

Mandy earned her nursing degree at Grant MacEwan University and spent the following years working in the area of rural nursing. She furthered her education and proficiency, gaining experience in emergency, acute care across the lifespan, palliative care and labour and delivery nursing. More recently Mandy has adjusted her focus to encompass a broader and more holistic approach to patient care by taking subsequent education in nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle management.
