NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE AND HEALTH COACHING FOR MEN
Get the direction you need to show up as the dad, husband and man you want to be.
Health support for modern dads who wish they had the energy to work out, play with their kids, and be present with their families.
“DADDY! YOU’RE HOME! LET’S PLAY!”
You want to be as excited as they are when you get home. But you’re exhausted.
Back in your twenties, you were in great shape. You had energy. You were strong. But now, your family is your priority. You’re always busy with work, kids, and life. And taking time for yourself doesn’t really feel like an option.
You want to have the energy you had before. But your life is so different now. And the overwhelm is so high. You don’t even know where you’d start.
Virtual Naturopathic medicine and health coaching will help you get back the energy you used to have and take better care of yourself. For your, and your families sake!
By combining evidence based medicine with health coaching, we’ll make a plan that works for your body, energy level, and schedule - then I’ll keep you accountable so you can see it through.

MEET YOUR DOCTOR AND COACH
Hey, I’m Rory. I’m a practicing naturopathic doctor in Langley, BC and—most importantly—a dad to two (soon to be three) little boys.
Being a new dad tested me in ways I never saw coming. I tried to show up for my wife, my kids, and my job. I put myself last even though it drained me. I felt like I should be able to do it all. Without needing anything for myself.
As my years as a dad and clinician have gone on, I’ve learned two important things.
First, I’m not the only dad who feels like that.
And second, it gets better when you find ways to take care of yourself.
I do what I do because I get it, because I needed it, and because I know other dads need it, too.
“Dad’s want to take care of themselves so they can show up. But they don’t want it to take time away from others to do it.”
If we’re going to do it, it has to be efficient. And we need external accountability.
That’s where I come in.
Naturopathic Medicine Meets Health Coaching
VIRTUAL & In-Person Naturopathic medicine
With basic laboratory work and a thorough history, I’ll help you figure out why you don’t feel like yourself lately. Then, we’ll set invidualized health goals for you, and I’ll help you make a plan to achieve them.
HEALTH and ACCOUNTABILITY COACHING
Through a health coaching approach, I can give you the accountability you need to see the plan through—get results faster. You’ll have more frequent visits, specific dietary suggestions and exercise recommendations that will all fit your daily schedule.
“Caring, intelligent, and invested in helping his patients to achieve their goals”
“Absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend seeing Dr. Rory. Caring, intelligent, and invested in helping his patients to achieve their goals”

During this time, I will get to know you, and your unique story. You and I will chat about your main health concerns, past medical history, other health history and at the end you will have a preliminary treatment plan.
Your treatment plan will most likely include lifestyle and dietary suggestions, will typically include some sort of lab test, targeted supplements, and a plan to move forward with.
