Naturopathic Medicine is a complementary and alternative medicine that explores the root cause of disease in a holistic manner. It offers a variety of natural treatment pillars that address mind, body, and spirit. Naturopathic Medicine incorporates evidence-based medicine with more traditional modalities by following several treatment principles including using the healing power of nature, treating the root cause, treating the whole person, teaching and educating, preventing dis-ease and promoting health & wellness.

As Naturopathic Doctors, Dr. Sofie's and Dr. Angelica's goal is to educate, guide, and empower their patients along their journey to find balance, health, and wellbeing in their everyday lives. They use a variety of natural health pillars to create individualized treatment plans for their patients. As part of their scope of practice, they offer lab testing (including functional tests such as the Food Sensitivity Test, GI Map, etc.), supplement recommendations, herbal remedies, nutrition and lifestyle recommendations, acupuncture (based in Traditional Chinese Medicine), and cupping, among many other therapies.

Although Dr. Sofie operates as a general practitioner, she does currently focus her practice on health concerns relating to digestive health, skin health, brain health and mental health, while Dr. Angelica focuses her practice on pediatric and family health.

Dr. Sofie Desforges-Bell is a Naturopathic Doctor who recently traded city lights for country skies, relocating with her partner to the charming community of Mitchell.

A graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University with a BSc in Biology & Psychology in 2013, Dr. Sofie pursued her passion for holistic health by earning her Doctor of Naturopathy degree from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2018. Her approach to naturopathic medicine is deeply rooted in exploring the root causes of health issues through a combination of evidence-based natural medicines and traditional therapies. She is dedicated to crafting individualized treatment plans that enhance her patients’ physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual well-being.

She offers a comprehensive array of services such as lab testing, supplement recommendations, herbal teas and remedies, nutrition and lifestyle counselling, acupuncture (Traditional Chinese Medicine), and cupping.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr. Sofie manages the C’est La Vie Wellness clinic, in Oakville, alongside her sister, Danika, a Mental Health Counsellor. Together, they offer a holistic approach to health and wellness, providing support and care to their community.
