University…
Originally from St. Catharines, Ontario, Dr. Jennifer Hendry-Lynn ND graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences with First Class Honours from Brock University. Throughout University she was an active member of the Med Plus Program, which is a four-year non-credit concurrent program for students with a passion for health care.
Furthermore, the program exposed her to a variety of careers in the healthcare and volunteer opportunities. Volunteering at the Niagara Children’s Centre (previously the Niagara Peninsula Children’s Centre) School, she worked in classrooms to help children with both communication and/or physical disabilities.
However, during her time in University she had some health issues that she could not seem to resolve with the medical system. Therefore, she ended up seeing a local Naturopathic Doctor to help find some answers to her digestion concerns. With her Naturopathic Doctor, they worked together to find the root cause of her discomfort. After that, she was on a new career path.
Becoming a Naturopathic Doctor…
When it was time to apply to post-graduate school, Dr. Jen ND decided to pursue a career in Naturopathic Medicine to help others like herself find the root cause of their disease. She attended the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) Toronto, Ontario, and four-years later graduated with Honours as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine.
The four-year intensive post-university professional program focused on biomedical sciences, clinical sciences, and naturopathic therapeutics, with over 3,000 hours of classroom training. Additionally, the program also included more than 1,200 hours of clinical experience.
While at CCNM, she completed her 12-month clinical internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. Moreover, she was also selected to be a Naturopathic intern at the L.A.M.P. Community Centre (a Naturopathic outreach clinic) for 4-months. After completing 8-years of post-secondary education, Dr. Jennifer Hendry-Lynn ND is a primary health care provider practicing a combination of contemporary and alternative medicine.
