Dr. Annie Cannon
BSc ND, Co-Founder of Ember Naturopathic
As a young adult, Dr. Annie found herself struggling with fatigue, weight gain, migraines, acne, and low self-esteem.
As she went through university in the sciences, she started to learn about the importance of healthy eating and exercise for immediate and long-term physical and mental health.
Though she had seen Naturopathic doctors her whole life, she finally started really listening and was motivated to make a change. She turned her life around with the knowledge she had gained and decided she wanted to share it with others by becoming an ND herself.
Dr. Annie completed a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, and received her Naturopathic Medicine Diploma from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, in beautiful BC, in 2016.
When Dr. Annie is not in work mode, she can usually be found hanging out with her husband and two young kids, playing with their crazy dog Kona, cooking, netflixing, and enjoying some nature time.
BSc RD, CHN, Registered Nutritionist for women and families
Deanne believes helping you achieve greater health starts with supporting you to feel empowered and connected to your inner wisdom. With over 12 years’ experience educating and advocating for healthy nutrition and lifestyles for all ages, she has a first-hand understanding of the challenges to nourishing oneself as a mother, let alone with a busy growing family.
Like so many women in our culture, Deanne experienced sleep deprivation, digestive issues, and hormonal changes after her first child was born. Already a Registered Dietitian, she wanted a deeper understanding of food as medicine and enrolled in a holistic nutrition program. She dove into researching the body/mind/spirit connection of food, the symptoms of “postnatal depletion”, and how traditional cultures around the world truly nourish and care for mothers and women. By the time she became pregnant with her second child, she knew preparing and repairing to create abundance instead of depletion was possible!
Deanne completed a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Integrated Dietetic Internship through the University of Alberta, as well as a diploma in Holistic Nutrition at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN). She is also an Innate Traditions Postpartum Care Practitioner.
Deanne cherishes time with her husband and three young kids, playing and creating in the kitchen, teaching at CSNN, practicing yoga and meditation, and exploring the beautiful Alberta Foothills where her family resides.
