Our regulatory bodies restrict the use of testimonials on our website. Here are a few success stories, with all pertinent client information changed to protect our clients privacy.

She suffered from chronic cough, fatigue, restlessness and anxiety, which affected her 10 year old's performance in sports and school.
Just as we do Spring-Cleaning for the house, it is important to do the same for the body.
Everybody's body is unique, so are the clearing rates at which the detoxification organs (skin, lungs, lymphatic system and the kidney's) remove various toxins that are built up in the body from environmental toxins such as industrial pollutants, pathogenic bacteria, phyto-chemicals, insecticides, certain prescription antibiotics and over-the-counter medications, and excesses of certain foods.

Dr Sushma Shah’s skill as a naturopath doctor and her kind-hearted, attentive and compassionate care are exemplary. She is a very knowledgeable, empathetic and friendly person and her diagnoses are based on rigorous testing, analysis and listening carefully and patiently to the patient’s symptoms and concerns. She is a first rate naturopath and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a holistic approach to healing. Her assistant, Krishna is very polite, sweet and helpful.

She has the ability to diagnose well and backs up the diagnosis with tests and symptoms.
She is great to talk to as well and is very adjusting.

I found Dr. Shah's clinic over 8 years ago when I was searching for alternative pain relief from my partial hysterectomy. I was unemployed at the time and had no private benefits so had to pay all the fees in cash but it was all worth it. She gave me a customized meal and snack plan (which I still use to this day), she also prescribed amazing supplements but most important recommended a complete lifestyle change which I had to actively participate in otherwise I would not be where I am now - happy and whole. At any time if a routine or food item did not work for me, she was ready and available

I have been seeing Dr. Shah for about a year now, and cannot express how thankful I am to have met her.
I suffer from debilitating chronic digestive issues along with fibromyalgia for many year , and have seen other practitioners in the past who were not able to help me.
Dr. shah’s vast knowledge and professionalism, along with her kind and caring personality, have helped me improve my health tremendously.
My symptoms have decreased significantly, and I have learned to cope with stress much better.
Thank you Dr. Shah for helping me gain my health back and for being able to enjoy life after

Dr. Shah is very patient, gentle, and non-judgemental with her methods of practice. She's always willing to answer questions even if you ask them twice. She's very encouraging and optimistic and explains all treatments and supplements clearly. She has in-depth knowledge of naturopathy and TCM. I did not come home after the first appointment and have to eat only water and cabbage. :) She is realistic about lifestyle and how to adjust to make things better. Location off Davisville subway is important and great for me for any after-work appointments.

I highly recommend Dr Shah. She is kind, caring, and knowledgeable and brings a repertoire of testing, analysis, and holistic remedies to help every patient individually. My husband and I have both been helped tremendously by her. She also does acupuncture and hypnosis which I have personally found really beneficial. She is a person of high integrity and compassion and will do her utmost to help you achieve better long term health.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shah's for nearly 7 years. She is a very skilled, compassionate and highly knowledgeable naturopathic doctor. She has turned my health around and I am so grateful to have found her. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants proper guidance to get healthy and at the same time, have a doctor that listens to them and truly cares for them.

I initially met Dr. Shah a few years ago after experiencing hormonal imbalance which affected my weight, sleep and overall mood. After my initial consultation, she recommended a saliva test to measure my hormone levels. I followed her recommendation and never looked back. She has helped me extensively and always ensures I am comfortable taking her prescribed vitamins.
She has also helped me tremendously with my son who was suffering from chronic constipation and after 18 months of age was still waking several times a night. She recommended bringing him in for an exam and discovered certain foods

I couldn't be happier having found Sushma and her team while I was living in Toronto last year. I come from Finland, a country known for its amazing public and private health care but for my great disbelief I ended up visiting tens of specialists in Finland trying to figure out the root of some intestinal issues I had struggled with for years -… with no success. Sushma figured out immediately what was going on with me, approaching health issues in a complete new way for me. The problems I had had for 4 years, disappeared COMPLETELY in two weeks after my first consultation.

Natures Intentions is a great clinic! The staff is welcoming and friendly. Dr. Shaw is a charismatic, compassionate, and loving human being that makes you feel comfortable, take the time to listen to you and treat you with respect.
I started seeing Dr. Shaw for fatigue, digestive, hormonal, thyroid, fibroids and fertility problems in March 2016.… After the initial appointment, Dr. Shaw was able to identify what part of my diet was causing irritation. Then, after my blood work and other test came back. Dr. Shaw provided me with a comprehensive plan based on nutrition, homeopathy, herbs, vitamins

Nature's Intentions should be your first stop if you experience health issues as they treat just about everything very carefully. Dr. Shah is not only knowledgeable but very caring of her patients. I owe her my life I must admit. I had gone to just about every imaginable medical doctors and after prescriptions and several tests, my issues with digestions were never resolved. I was suffering and in serious pain. A whole new diet changed my life. After 4 months of following her advices, I am free of these crazy symptoms I was troubled by. Don't hesitate to see her, you will be pleasantly surprised
