A Note About the Next Chapter

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
