YOUR NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN
Hi! I’m Dr. Sydney Lake
I’m a Naturopathic Physician based in Victoria BC. My approach to care combines clinical knowledge with genuine connection, creating a space where you can feel comfortable asking questions, understood in your concerns, and confident in the care you receive.
I was born and raised in Mississauga, Ontario where I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours Degree) in Human Nutrition at the University of Guelph. Afterwards, I attended a four-year medical program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto, and graduated in 2025. I moved to the island in 2025 with my fiancé and 2 cats.
My areas of interest include medical aesthetics, skin health, fatigue, pain and obesity management, with a focus in helping patients feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves – inside and out. My interest in skin health comes from my own struggles with acne and psoriasis. I know firsthand the embarrassment of wanting to hide your skin, and the toll it can take when you cannot stop itching. I take an individualized approach to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms, and I will be there to support you throughout your skincare journey.
I offer: dermal fillers, cosmetic and therapeutic neuromodulators, iron infusions, perineurial injections, facial acupuncture and gua sha. My goal is to give you natural-looking results that will give you the confidence you deserve, improve your energy and reduce your pain.
When I am not in clinic, my favourite activities are running, hiking, and lounging at the beach (with the appropriate sun protection of course).
Can’t wait to connect!
