Nicole Roberts, Receptionist
Upon completion of her BSc undergraduate degree in Nutrition and Nutraceutical Sciences at the University of Guelph, Nicole returned home to Calgary with a plan to take 2 years off before attending one of Canada’s accredited Naturopathic Colleges. Nicole has dreamed of becoming a naturopath ever since she first became a patient of one 7 years ago and she is thrilled to be working at Gaia Health Care as an office assistant where she enjoys learning even more about naturopathy and business management from Gaia’s three naturopathic doctors.
Outside of naturopathy, Nicole’s interests lie in sports nutrition, coaching ringette and eco-friendly living. In her free time, she loves to visit the Calgary Farmer’s Market, work out at the gym, or catch a live music show in downtown. Her ideal weekend would be spent hiking in the Rocky Mountains or exploring Canmore and she endeavours to one day learn how to snowboard.
Nicole is very excited to be back in the beautiful city of Calgary, working in her field of interest and encourages anyone looking for more information about naturopathic medicine, to come in, call in or email the clinic with questions. She promises you will be met with a cheery smile and a genuine interest in helping you on your journey towards health and happiness!
