Dr. Ming Mei Zhang
Naturopathic Doctor & Registered Massage Therapist
Dr. Ming Mei Zhang is dual licensed as both a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). She earned her Bachelor of Science specializing in Cell biology and Genetics from UBC, where human anatomy and physiology sparked her interest. From there on, she pursued her diploma of Registered Massage Therapy from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. While working in an integrative clinic, Dr. Zhang learned about naturopathic medicine, and it was through its effects on her own health that she learned to appreciate its patient centered, holistic approach. This spurred her to pursue her naturopathic medicine training from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine.
