About Dr. Charmagne Sia Lu

Through my life, I’ve often felt unheard in my interactions with doctors. It seemed there was more interest in placing a band-aid over my symptoms than truly addressing my concerns. For a long time, I have struggled with eczema and I felt I had been left to deal with the mental and physical stresses it caused, all on my own. As I grew older, it took a lot of courage for me to keep looking for someone who could really help.  When I finally found a doctor who would listen to me, I felt relieved.  More importantly, I found that it was possible to have a healthcare practitioner who was willing to work toward understanding and addressing the underlying, root causes of everything I was experiencing.

As a Naturopathic Doctor now myself, I always strive to make my patients feel heard and cared for. This is even more the case when I work with expecting families and breastfeeding mothers. Having a newborn is very emotional and overwhelming.  Although it is an absolutely beautiful time of life, people can struggle, and their vulnerability requires support from people who will listen to them and their concerns.  This is what led me to pursue additional training and certification in becoming a doula and a lactation consultant.
