Dr. Sarah Goulding ND | she/her
Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario with a focus in women’s hormonal health, digestion, and stress/burnout.
Dr. Sarah Goulding is a health nerd. She loves hearing the elaborate story of how you got to this point in your health, and geeking out on your lab results to determine the root cause of your concerns.
She has a BSc in neuroscience and biology from Dalhousie University (2004), and did her 4-year naturopathic training at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (2010). She’s since accumulated over a decade of clinical experience, and refined her practice to focus on women’s health, stress and burnout. As a registered naturopathic doctor in Ontario, Dr. Goulding is licensed by The College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO) and is a member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND).
Dr. Sarah Goulding blends science and compassion, and acts as a personal health researcher to help you navigate your health. Her tools include nutrition, supplements and botanicals, bioidentical hormones, and lifestyle modifications. The closer you get to the root cause, the gentler the therapies needed to resolve the issue.
Do the deep investigations. Be truly heard. Get well.

How I Practice
Most of my patients are as curious as I am. They’re frustrated with their symptoms, and even more so, they’re often frustrated with their health care team and the lack of answers they’re receiving.
I help them to gather all relevant information, then I structure it to make sense, and translate it in language and images that are tangible to them.
Often at the end of the first visit a patient says “this has been so great”, even before we’ve rolled out the treatment plan. They so very much value being fully listened to.
They also love learning the mechanism of why their body is behaving as it is. I draw them pictures of their organs, maps of their hormones, and zoom-ins of their cell receptors so that they understand why the elements of our treatment plan are important. Once they understand the “why” they are motivated to do the work necessary to get well.
What to Expect
First Visit (90 minutes)
We explore your health history, stress, nutrition, movement, sleep, and symptom patterns. You leave with:
A structured understanding of your health
Initial recommendations
Nutrition guidance
Lab testing options (with transparent costs)
Second Visit (30–60 minutes)
We review results and build your full personalized plan.
Follow-Up Visits (30 minutes)
We refine and adjust as your body responds.
Most patients experience meaningful progress within 3–5 visits.
Long-Term Care
Once your main concern is resolved, we transition into long-term wellness, prevention, and optimization. I often collaborate with other practitioners such as therapists, acupuncturists, trainers, and nutritionists to support your care team.
