Dr. Daralyn Bates, ND

Dr. Daralyn Bates was born and raised in the Quinte area. After completing a pre-medical program at the University of Waterloo (HonBSc), she became intrigued by languages and life abroad. Over the next decade, between lengthy stints in Spain and Japan, Daralyn completed a BA in Speech Sciences/Linguistics at the University of British Columbia. Her exposure to other cultures and their concepts of health brought her back home to pursue a rewarding career in Naturopathic Medicine.

Daralyn (HonBSc, BA, ND) is a graduate of the Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program at the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia where she received the Spirit of Boucher Award for overall excellence. In addition, she is a certified Bowenwork® practitioner.

Of the six tenets of Naturopathic Medicine, “Doctor as Teacher” is the tenet Dr. Bates takes to heart the most.
