Dr. Michelle Heighington, ND
Naturopathic Doctor, Co-Founder of Greystones Health
Bio
Dr. Heighington is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), but her passion for helping people heal began long before medical school.
She believes no one should have to simply “push through” exhaustion, digestive discomfort, anxiety, hormonal symptoms, burnout, or the feeling of being disconnected from themselves. In today’s fast-paced and demanding world, many people are silently struggling while trying to keep up with work, family, and daily responsibilities. Dr. Heighington's goal is to provide what so many people are missing in healthcare: time, compassion, clear guidance, and hope.
With a deep commitment to evidence-informed, personalized care, Dr. Heighington empowers her patients to understand their bodies, feel seen, and take back control of their health.
Known for her warm, thoughtful, and supportive approach, Dr. Heighington takes the time to truly listen to her patients and understand the full picture of their health. She believes patients deserve to feel heard, informed, and empowered — not rushed through appointments or left feeling dismissed.
Before becoming a Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Heighington worked as a holistic nutritionist supporting individuals struggling with digestive concerns including bloating, IBS, abdominal pain, food sensitivities, and chronic digestive discomfort. She understands how frustrating and isolating digestive symptoms can be, especially when they begin affecting confidence, relationships, social events, and daily life. Through practical and achievable nutrition plans, she helped patients rebuild trust in their bodies and feel comfortable enjoying food again.
Her clinical focus naturally grew from the people she worked with most:
-
Hormonal and women’s health
-
Gynecological concerns
-
Stress, burnout, and fatigue
During her naturopathic medical training, Dr. Heighington was a member of the integrative cancer care team at the CCNM clinic, where she worked closely with patients navigating every stage of their cancer journey. She also had the opportunity to shadow one of the leading naturopathic doctors in cancer support—an experience that deeply shaped her approach to care.
Through this work, Dr. Heighington witnessed both the fear and the strength that accompany a cancer diagnosis. She understands how overwhelming treatment decisions can feel, and how important it is to have someone who listens, guides, and supports you as a whole person—not just as a diagnosis.
Dr. Heighington looks beyond symptoms to uncover the deeper “why”—the root imbalances that impact energy, digestion, mood, cycles, sleep, and overall quality of life.
She understands the frustration of planning your day around painful periods, unpredictable digestion, or hot flashes that leave you embarrassed or exhausted. She understands what it’s like to miss out on life because your body simply isn’t cooperating. Her goal is to help you get your life back—to feel comfortable, confident, and capable again.
Her intention is simple: to help you feel your best—physically, emotionally, and in every corner of your life.
Before becoming an ND, Dr. Heighington worked in Toronto’s legal industry. She knows firsthand the pressure of demanding workplaces, long hours, tight deadlines, and the toll they take on the body and mind. This experience shaped her passion for helping others recover from burnout, restore balance, and build sustainable health—even in high-stress environments.
