About Me
Meet dr. Lisa kachaniwsky nd
My story
After dealing with monthly menstrual cramps and PMS for years, it was while studying naturopathic medicine that I discovered these symptoms were not normal. Successfully treating my own menstrual symptoms sparked my passion for helping women to feel heard, supported, and confident on their health journeys.
I enjoy providing women with education on diagnoses and available treatment options, so they have the information needed to make informed decisions about their healthcare. Whether your goal is to have a baby, regulate your menstrual cycle, or manage symptoms of menopause, I will investigate and strategize with you to work towards your health and fertility goals.

my treatment approach
About Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic doctors are primary care providers who focus on using natural therapies for treatment, prevention and health optimization. As an ND, I listen carefully to your concerns and look at you from a whole body perspective. My goal is to find and treat the root cause of your health concerns when possible, and manage your symptoms naturally when it’s not possible.
A large part of my job is patient education. I want you to know your treatment options (both conventional and naturopathic), the evidence backing them up, and potential side effects. It’s important to me that you understand the reasons behind my treatment recommendations and the expected outcomes. I believe in the value of integrative care and I love working as part of a team with your other healthcare providers. Naturopathic medicine complements conventional medical treatments very well, particularly in the areas of fertility and hormonal health.
Fertility Confidence Method
In addition to my private practice, I work with Dr. Kelsey Duncan ND and her amazing Fertility Confidence Method team. In the FCM program, we walk you through Dr. Kelsey’s 3 pillar fertility success system so that you have a step-by-step process that will leave you feeling completely confident that you are doing everything within your power to make a baby. FCM is the place to be if you’re ready for a curated, step-by-step plan, backed by the research and evidence while being supported by clinical experience.
