Dr. Braun’s practice is family oriented, and she welcomes patients of any age, with any ailment. Being a mom of two school-age kids, the owner of a clinic, and running a fulfilling practice for the past 15 years, Dr. Braun understand what it means to be busy without much time to rest. Dr. Braun’s goal in practice is to support women and their families, to strive for and be inspired to reach their full health potential - and thrive in the busy-ness of their lives...not just survive!
Alongside her general practice, Dr. Braun has a passion in supporting those in peri-menopause and menopause. She understands the complexity of this stage in life for women – from preventing osteoporosis to supporting breast health to aging gracefully without disease. Dr. Braun remains up-to-date in the latest research in this field. She has been extensively trained in Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy and stays current with the prescribing standards recommended by The Menopause Society.
Dr. Braun also takes special interest in digestive issues such as IBS and IBD, thyroid health, immune conditions (inflammatory conditions, auto-immune, allergy and immunodeficiency), pain management, mental health, stress management/adrenal health and healthy aging. As we age, our prevalence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, chronic pain and other ailments increase, and it is Dr. Braun’s aim to prevent these issues from progressing and restore health.
While studying molecular biology and biochemistry at SFU, Dr. Braun learned an appreciation for science and research. Inspired by her mother who was diagnosed with cancer in her early 40’s, Dr. Braun held a one-year student position at the BC Cancer Research Center doing research with chemotherapy medications and their effectiveness in treating certain cancers in mice. It was here where she realized that the treatment of cancer, or any ailment of the body, is best to come from it’s prevention. To do approach this, one needs to understand how to remove obstacles to health and restore optimal function of the body, rather than focus treatment on the disease. This led Dr. Braun to further her education and start a career in naturopathic medicine.
During her naturopathic studies, Dr. Braun joined a medical brigade in Ometepe, Nicaragua. Although the days were long and the patient line-ups were endless, Dr. Braun saw that healing goes well beyond medication or dietary & lifestyle changes but extends to the need for community and connection. Healing must encompass the whole of a person, body, mind and spirit.
Dr. Braun employs botanical medicine, nutritional supplementation, vitamin injections, acupuncture and cupping, Bowen therapy, diet and lifestyle counselling, pharmaceutical medicine, homeopathy, laboratory testing and pap examinations. Dr. Braun is also certified in both Aesthetic/Cosmetic and Therapeutic Uses for Neuromodulator/Botox injections (migraines, hyperhidrosis, and temporal-mandibular joint dysfunction).
Dr. Braun’s aim as your naturopathic doctor is to search beneath the surface of your health challenges to find and treat the root cause to provide realistic solutions that will heal and prevent future illness. She will give you space and time to freely discuss your health concerns and educate you about your illness and how you can work towards health.
She is dedicated to the practice of assisting patients as they overcome any obstacle to health. Through the stories of her patients, she has come to know that the human body is capable of incredible healing and one’s journey to great health can reach far and beyond their expectations.
Dr. Braun is registered with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) and is a member of the BC’s Naturopathic Doctors (BCND).

“I just had my first naturopathic visit with Dr. Krista Braun and I am blown away by her knowledge and her kindness. I have been to sooo many practitioners over the past 7 years looking for answers for my symptoms, and I feel like Dr. Krista Braun is the first person who truly listened to my story without jumping to the conclusion that everything was caused by anxiety. I feel seen, heard, and validated. Thank you Dr. Krista Braun- I look forward to working with you on my journey to wellness. I feel like I am in good hands now.”Read moreShow less
