Meet Dr. Karley Denoon

Dr. Karley Denoon is known for her rare blend of sharp clinical skill and heartfelt care, described more than once by colleagues and patients as a cross between “House” and “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.”

 

Beginning her career in a high-demand rural clinic, she rapidly developed clinical skills while building systems to sustain a thriving practice.

​

As a pharmaceutical-prescribing Naturopathic Doctor, Karley practices from an integrative “AND” philosophy: supporting the body’s natural function, using medications when needed, and tending to the deeper emotional and spiritual aspects of healing. Guided by the Wise Woman approach and her connection to the natural world, she offers a healing space where all parts of the human experience are welcome.

​

After a decade running a large multidisciplinary clinic, caring for thousands of patients and mentoring colleagues, Karley sold her clinic in 2022 to open a smaller-scale practice focused on women's health specifically through perimenopause and menopause. 

 

She’s been a sought-after speaker, start up advisor for Canada’s first biohacking facility, Aeon Future Health and was a co-founder of The Center for Sacred Arts. Karley also served on the Arnica Foundation board, supporting young women’s mental health, and was  recognized as one of the Kootenay’s Top 40 Under 40 early in her career. 
 

Outside the clinic, she lives on a 40-acre mountain farm with her family, raising animals, growing food, and making medicine from her garden. Her professional and personal life is rooted in connection, community, and a deep relationship with nature.
