Meet Dr. Cristina, Naturopathic Doctor at The Health Loft



I would like to introduce our newest addition at The Health Loft - Dr. Cristina Allen, Naturopathic Doctor.  Dr. Cristina has joined our team and is now accepting new patients.  She will be holding patient hours during the following times:


Mondays 2pm-8pm
Tuesdays 8am - 2pm
Wednesdays 8am - 2pm


Here is a brief bio and background on her:


Dr. Cristina Allen was granted acceptance early into the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto, Ontario after competing three years of a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at the University of Calgary. She graduated from the Naturopathic Doctor program as one of the youngest graduates with training in a subspecialty in pediatrics.  

She is dedicated to a lifetime of continuing education, focusing on her particular interests in pregnancy and pediatrics, as well as the impact of diet and nutrition on health. Dr. Cristina sees both paediatric and adult patients regularly and has experience treating a wide range of conditions including autism, ADHD, polycystic ovarian syndrome, diabetes, high blood pressure, stress management, and multiple sclerosis. 

During her time at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Dr. Cristina had the opportunity to work at Anishnawbe Health Toronto, a multidisciplinary healthcare centre providing care for the Aboriginal community. This opportunity allowed her to learn first hand, the importance of basic and healthcare.

Her approach to healthcare is therefore simple: to treat conditions as least invasive as possible, while looking at the individual as a whole. Prevention is the key, and is achieved by optimizing the individuals health.

Currently, Dr. Cristina is writing a cookbook focused on gourmet hypoallergenic recipes to share her knowledge and passion for healthy eating without the sacrifice of quality. This passion has become known amongst her friends and colleagues by her toothsome cupcakes, that manage to be vegan, gluten-free, and at times, even sugar-free, without even knowing it! 

Dr. Cristina is proud to welcome patients to a practice where empathy combine with education and experience to provide the best health care. Her philosophy of service to the patient creates excellence in both patient care and clinical results.

Dr. Stephanie
