For as long as Farah can remember, she’s always wanted to be in a field learning about the human body. This led her to her first degree at the University of British Columbia, where she specialized in Cellular and Developmental biology.
After graduation, Farah knew that she wanted to take her curiosity outside of the lab and apply it to a more people-centred career. Farah immediately resonated with the foundations of Naturopathic Medicine and began her journey to become a Naturopathic Doctor.
Farah aspires to approach interactions with an open mind and curiosity towards science, culture, individual human experience, and how they all intersect. Farah hopes to create an openness that lends to genuine conversation. Her goal is to meet her patients where they are at and support them with a plan that is not only attainable but also sustainable.

For Dr. Florez, a career in health was always a natural choice. Born in Colombia and raised in a family that valued an active lifestyle, she grew up immersed in sports. Her early experiences shaped her belief in the importance of health and wellness and this inspired her to pursue a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biology at the University of Ottawa.
When Dr. Florez discovered Naturopathic Medicine, she recognized that it perfectly aligned with her values—a patient-centred approach focused on identifying root causes and supporting overall wellness. She is dedicated to addressing all aspects of her patients’ health, considering their lifestyle, nutrition, sleep patterns, mental and emotional well-being, and personal goals. By offering evidence-based, individualized care and empowering her patients with education, Dr. Florez works alongside them to create an integrative plan that leads to meaningful, lasting improvements in their physical, mental, and emotional health.
