Higher Health Naturopathic Centre and IV Lounge

Burnout was inevitable for Tara Campbell. While studying health and psychology at Queen’s University, she was also a  marathon runner, a personal trainer, a full-time student and balancing her family and social life; this was Tara’s recipe for exhaustion, biochemical depletion, anxiety and depression.

Tara ended up in a doctor’s office, where she was handed an antidepressant medication. She remembers very clearly everything about that moment, and about her instinctual question: “Aren’t you going to test anything? How do you know that medication is for me?” The doctor simply answered, “There is no test. If it doesn’t work, we will switch you, and it will take six weeks to act.” Discouraged by the experience, and fearful of taking a pharmaceutical that may have not been right for her,  Tara felt there was a better answer.

She went on to complete her Naturopathic degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, while also gaining certification in numerous complementary therapies.
