About Dr. Teri Jaklin ND

Living Beyond the Diagnosis—for Over 40 Years

At 23, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and told to “get my affairs in order.” But instead of accepting limitations, I chose to build a life of purpose, presence, and health. Now, 40 years later, I continue to thrive—not despite MS, but with it.

When my new doctor recently reviewed my chart, she said, “There’s no way you’ve had MS for 40 years.” That moment reminded me how far I’ve come—not through luck, but through intentional living, mindful choices, and a deep belief in the body’s ability to heal.

As a Naturopathic Doctor and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, I specialize in treating the root cause of illness using evidence-based therapies and natural biological medicines. Since 2002, I’ve helped thousands of people with MS, autoimmune diseases, and chronic conditions reclaim their health—without letting their diagnosis define them.

If you're looking for a guided, science-informed, yet natural, approach to healing, I’m here to walk that path with you.

My Professional Journey

Some journeys begin long before we realize it. Mine started in 1985 when I was diagnosed with MS. People began reaching out, asking how I was thriving. My answer? Live well, stay engaged, and never give up.

By 1997, I left my corporate career to become a Naturopathic Doctor, later earning certification in Functional Medicine in 2014. My work blends these two disciplines, creating a whole-person approach to healing. I’ve dedicated my career to helping those with MS, autoimmune conditions, brain health challenges, digestive issues, and stress-related illnesses.

For years, I ran a busy clinic in Waterdown, Ontario. Now, my fully virtual practice allows me to provide care without the stress of travel, making it more accessible for those in need.

Dr. Teri Jaklin is also a sought-after speaker and writer, known for making complex health topics engaging and entertaining.

Her work has been recognized with:

🏆 New Practitioner of the Year – OAND (2002)
🏆 Leadership Award – OAND (2011)
🏆 Multiple People’s Choice Awards for work at Waterdown Clinic

Dr. Teri Jaklin ND Is a dedicated naturopathic doctor and an excellent communicator! She has a unique gift in her ability to marry the latest scientific information, clinical experience, and her own personal experience with multiple sclerosis in a way that really motivates her patients and her students.
