BIO

Dr. Garber is passionate about all things related to children’s health. This passion developed when she became an aunt, and her entire world changed. She found so much reward in playing a role in a child’s growth and development, and she strives to do the same for other children. Dr. Garber loves working with children and their families because shaping health and wellbeing early in life will help set a strong foundation for health in adulthood. Dr. Garber believes every patient deserves to be informed about the benefits and potential side effects of their prescriptions, and her patients and her work together to build realistic, evidence-informed treatment plans that align with their lifestyle, goals, and values. Her clinical approach is to empower patients through education, and she values building upon small, realistic changes to ensure treatment plans are sustainable.

Land Acknowledgement

Juniper Naturopathic Clinic acknowledges that we are operating this business on Treaty 8 land. This land is the traditional territory, gathering place, and meeting grounds of the Cree, Dene, Dane-zaa, and Métis. We acknowledge that we are settlers on this land and we deeply respect the courage and strength of Indigenous peoples.

We would like to honour the role Indigenous people have taken on for thousands of years as environmental stewards and we would like to show the same respect for the environment. We acknowledge that much of Naturopathic Medicine’s understanding of herbal medicine and other treatments is owed to the knowledge and wisdom of Indigenous peoples.

We are grateful for the opportunity to practice medicine, learn, and work on this land.
