DR. FIONA CALLENDER, CO-OWNER, NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR, PELVIC HEALTH THERAPIST
Compassionate, evidence-based care for fertility, pregnancy, endometriosis, and pelvic pain in Toronto + Virtual across Ontario
DR. FIONA CALLENDER, ND
Whether you're building your family, trying to understand your hormones, or living with persistent pelvic pain, my goal is to help you make sense of what your body is telling you.
I believe healthcare should feel collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence - without adding to the overwhelm. There is so much conflicting health information available - and with such easy access! - part of my role is to help you cut through the online noise and build a plan that makes sense for you and your life.
My patients often tell me that our appointments are the first time they’ve truly felt heard. Nothing is too personal or "too much information" in my office. I strive to create a safe, trauma-informed space where you can ask questions, raise concerns, and build an understanding of what is happening in your body. You deserve to actively participate in your care.
Rather than chasing perfection or optimal, we focus on building awareness in your body and symptoms, and developing sustainable tools that support your health for years to come.
The best treatment plan for you is the one that meets you where you are at, while gently moving you in the direction towards where you want to be.
How Dr. Fiona Can Help
My practice focuses on supporting those building their families. Whether you have been trying to conceive for a while or you are just being proactive with your goals, my goal is to support you in understanding your cycles and how to prepare for conception. Whether you need support with specific concerns such as PCOS/PMOS or endometriosis, or simply want to feel better, we can work on a plan that is personalized to you.
My areas of focus include:
Hormonal health and menstrual cycle concerns (PMS/PMDD, PCOS, spotting etc).
Pelvic health and bladder concerns
Digestive health
Pelvic Floor Therapy
My interest in pelvic floor therapy grew from working with patients living with endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain, where addressing the pelvic floor often becomes an important piece of our plan. Since then, I've pursued additional training in pelvic health, including courses related to pregnancy care, labour preparation, urinary symptoms, and return to running.
My approach to pelvic floor therapy looks beyond the muscles alone. We explore how breathing, movement, nervous system regulation, daily habits, and your overall health influence your symptoms. Treatment is individualized, trauma-informed, and always guided by your comfort level.
Credentials and Continuing Education
I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto while competing in track and field at the national level, before earning my Doctor of Naturopathy from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
I believe that continuing to learn, question, and evolve my practice is an essential part of providing excellent patient care. As research grows, our approach should grow with it.
