You deserve to have health, happiness and freedom. I’m committed to helping you achieve this, naturally.
Meet Danica Plenkovic
I offer personalized coaching to help you on a journey of reclaiming your health. After spending over two decades suffering from countless chronic health conditions (including severe Crohn’s disease) and experimenting and learning about the power of food, supplements, and herbs, I was able to heal myself naturally using a holistic and evidence-based approach.
As a registered Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, I focus on providing high-quality guidance and compassionate support. The goal is to identify the suspected root cause(s) and triggers of your conditions as well as recommendations for treating them so you can get the answers, relief, and ultimately, the health transformation you are worthy of.
I teach people all across the spectrum of chronic illness how to recover naturally by assisting the body’s natural self-healing abilities. With an understanding that individuals with health issues can have various symptoms and multiple health problems, I create a holistic and individualized plan for each client.
Modalities I utilize for my clients are natural, non-toxic and non-invasive including: nutritional therapy (food as medicine) as a key driver in cultivating health, in addition to/not limited to herbal medicine and supplements; behaviour modification strategies; strategic detoxification techniques; lifestyle changes; as well as emotional and motivational support.
The hope in my approach is to show that thoughtful implementation and blend of multiple supportive factors that enhance health can act in synergistic ways to recover chronic issues and promote the health span of the individual. Drastically improving your quality of life is my paramount objective.

I am informed by my own education and training in naturopathic principles and evidence-based nutritional research as well as from other inspiring and knowledgeable health practitioners and authors that break free from the black and white paradigm that dominates allopathic medicine (namely, that either you are sick or well). Chronic disease is a deeply dynamic and interconnected process which is not understood as the siloed approach to body systems that Western medicine has so neatly done. Predominately in today’s society, we are taught to ignore symptoms and silence the body instead of recognizing symptoms as the body’s way of communicating to us that there is a problem.
Everyone wants to get better; the question you have to ask yourself is are you ready to make some great changes, put in the work, and start now?
Healing is change, and change in the body demands change in our daily routines and choices in order to see real results. The question is how badly do you want to feel better? I am here to offer you my full attention, guidance and support, and in that same vein your role on this path is critical in that you are a full co-participant in investing in your health.
My hope is to be a compassionate teacher and mentor to you on your journey to heal and empower yourself to rebuild your health like I did. Our bodies have inbuilt the most complex, sophisticated, nearly symphonic responses for dramatic healing. The journey towards healing your symptoms and conditions isn’t a simple one. It takes patience, faith and dedication and ultimately heals more than your physical bodily ailments. I hope I can be of service to you on your health journey. Let’s get started!
Naturopathy is a relatively modern term for an ancient concept which embraces the notion that the body has the innate ability to self-heal and that it is the practitioner’s job to stimulate and support this process. A principle objective of naturopathic medicine is to educate the patient and emphasize self-responsibility for health. Treatment focuses on causes rather than symptoms and always addresses the whole person.
