Dr. Stefania Tiveron
Naturopathic Doctor & Health Coach
My coaching approach is behavior-based. I emphasize skill-building and daily practice. By learning new behaviors and the skills required to master them, you'll find it easier to make real, lasting changes in both your daily life and in your overall health.
Simple. Strategic. Sustainable.
Self-Compassion
HELPING YOU CHANGE
I am your guide and support system, but this is your journey and you make the choices. Change is a messy experience. There will be ups and downs, and you will make mistakes.
Commit without perfection and forgive yourself while seeking to do better.
Self-compassion is a catalyst for change.

Simple
Action plans are clear and easy to understand and implement, yet also meaningful and relevant to you (because we create them together)!

Strategic
One small and manageable step at a time - at the right time, in the right order - while also removing blocks to progress.

Sustainable
New and desired behavior changes are ingrained seamlessly into your life when repeated over time and accompanied by support and accountability.
My Approach
Ontario Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor & Health Coach.
Half health coach and half naturopathic doctor, I integrate the best of both worlds to help my clients create meaningful and sustainable action plans, break negative patterns and habits, and replace them with healthy ones.
My coaching approach is behavior-based, and it emphasizes skill-building and daily practice. As such, the action plans I develop are collaborative, process-focused, and most importantly, rooted in self-compassion.

Self-compassion
It's okay to struggle, to feel sad, and to need help. Sometimes, stuff sucks. Feeling "bad" is a normal part of the change process.
When the going gets tough, I bet you beat yourself up. Self-compassion helps you choose self-care rather than self-criticism, and that's a much clearer path for change-promoting insight and motivation.
I will teach you how to be present with feelings of discomfort. Self-compassion is not about pretending that everything is okay.
Being positive isn’t always the best approach. In fact, if you are struggling and acting like everything is sunshine and rainbows then you’re not really being compassionate at all.
Our struggles are the path. When the going gets tough, you still show up.
You show up without perfection and you forgive yourself... while seeking to do better.

Self-kindness
The act of being kind to yourself.
When you're feeling good about yourself, how do you treat your body?
Do you do things that make you feel good?

Mindfulness
Conscious yet non-judgemental awareness of what you are thinking, doing, and feeling.

Humanity
You are not the only one going through this.
Even when it feels like you are isolated and alone, remember that you are part of a greater whole.
After graduating from McMaster University with an Honours Bachelor degree, I began my health education journey with 5 years of study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine where I received a Doctor of Naturopathy degree.
After five years of seeing patients, I realized that I was lacking a crucial skill set. It wasn’t enough to simply tell people “what to do.” Most people already know what they should be doing, are overwhelmed with conflicting health information, or do not know “how to” align their actions with their goals and values.
Information is not enough to change behavior. Health coaches help people bridge the gap between “knowing what to do” and “actually doing it”. In other words, a health coach is a catalyst for change. With that in mind, I became a certified Metabolic Optimization Health Coach last year and I am currently enrolled in another health coaching certification program.
