Dr. DANIKA Garby ND, ms.ac.
After many meaningful years in general naturopathic practice, Dr. Danika has transitioned to focus exclusively on acute and chronic pain care. This decision comes from a place of deep reflection and purpose. The demands of general practice have grown, and while it has been an honour to care for so many, it became clear that sustaining this broad scope was no longer possible.
Over time, both personal and professional experiences have drawn Dr. Danika toward pain care—particularly her journey as a parent supporting her daughter through Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), and the many patients in her practice whose pain stories have deeply touched and shaped her. Her heart lies in helping those living with pain feel seen, supported, and better connected to care.
While stepping away from general practice has been a difficult decision, Dr. Danika finds comfort in knowing patients will continue to receive thoughtful, attentive care through the clinic. Her colleagues, Dr. Shakila Mohmand ND and Dr. Maya Sankaran ND will continue supporting existing patients whose needs fall outside of this new focus.
Dr. Danika remains deeply grateful for the trust, relationships, and community built over the years. While her role at the clinic has changed, her commitment to compassionate, integrative care continues—with a focused dedication to those navigating acute and chronic pain.
