Starting in November 2026, I will be stepping away from clinical practice for a period of time. With two young daughters at home and a busy household, this feels like the right season to be more present for my family.
I don't take this decision lightly, and I'm grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me over the years.
What this means for you:
My last day seeing patients will be October 27th. Please reach out soon if you'd like to schedule a visit before then.
For continuity of care, Dr. Weatherbee-Sakr will be available at Symmetry Wellness Centre.
If you prefer to see someone else, I have added a list below of other Naturopathic Doctors in HRM I know and trust, who I believe could be a good fit.
If you wish to continue your care with a different Naturopathic Doctor please have them send a Release of Records request.
If you have questions about your care plan or supplement continuity please reach out to Symmetry before November. For long term supplements, a prescription through "Fullscript" or referral to a health food store may be given. For short term supplements, please follow the timeline we last discussed and reach out if you have any questions.
I'll keep in touch through my newsletter and social media with any updates.
Thank you for being part of my practice. I am deeply grateful for your trust and understanding.
With gratitude and care,
- Dr. Karen Wallace, ND
