Welcome!

My name is Dr. Judith Ancheta Goguen, ND and I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor serving Mississauga, the Greater Toronto Area and surrounding Ontario communities. I grew up in Oakville, and I completed my Honours Bachelor of Science at McMaster University in Hamilton, after which I attended the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in North York. I have been joyfully practicing as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2011 and I am board-certified with the College of Naturopaths Ontario. I am so honoured to be with the exceptional Trillium Spine Center team. Having had a family member saved by the skilled hands of a Neurosurgeon, I know firsthand the immense impact that expert care can have. I deeply appreciate the dedication and compassion shown to patients here, and I understand just how profound this journey can be for those being assessed with neurological concerns, and for their loved ones.

Who Comes to See Me

I treat persons from all walks of life, with a focus on naturopathic support as an addition to your healthcare team. I do not shy away from challenging and difficult cases that have plateaued in terms of progress, and if you are one of these persons, I am here for you!

My style of whole person care stems from my own personal experiences being a receiver of Medicine’s care, and witnessing close family members and friends mediate various challenges as healthcare consumers. It is with this perspective, having experienced the plight of the modern patient, that I bring a unique voice, style of practice, planning and compassion that looks at the entirety of a person’s health, rather than piece meal. I feel it is my vocation to ease suffering, where possible. My care is highly influenced by my experiences interacting with some of the most beautiful souls as a life-long volunteer, which cannot otherwise be taught.

Why You Want To See Me

You are a person who believes strongly in finding supportive healthcare team members who want you to live a life full of vitality and health, and you are motivated to do what you are able, to contribute to this.

You also have a great appreciation for our health care system, and are searching for a health care provider that values collaboration. You are looking for practical recommendations to support (and enhance!) your current healthcare plan.

You want a care plan that is individualized to you, and is delivered by a healthcare provider who strives to deliver person-centered care, when you need it the most.

You are experiencing health conditions affecting your quality of life and are moving through life’s transitions and you want to discuss the next steps in your healthcare journey as you continue to evolve.

You wish to be proactive in your healthcare goals and you would like to be sharper than ever, walk (possibly run!) gracefully into your later years.

You are looking for practical and sustainable strategies to promote lifelong health and you want to work with someone who understands this. I UNDERSTAND - I, myself am a professional juggler being a working mother of 3 children, a daughter of aging parents and family members, a spouse, and a community volunteer for 25 years (and counting!) - I appreciate time and energy are finite.

I create individualized treatment plans for you that extends beyond basic symptom management and looks at the entirety of your health. There is no greater joy than seeing those I am working with, with a beaming smile, in a better mood, reporting improved energy levels, mental and physical health.

I have worked alongside my deeply respected colleagues in Medicine for as long as I have been a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), and well before I became a ND! As I have worked in various medical settings, I value interprofessional, interdisciplinary discussions and collaboration to ensure you are receiving the best possible naturopathic care and support.

On a personal note, I am a proud second generation Canadian Filipino, who laughs very loudly! I understand Tagalog fairly fluently, but can only respond in English! I understand what the real challenges are of implementing a healthy “North American” diet, particularly for those individuals with culinary skills from around the world. I believe our food should be our first medicine and I can help you incorporate healthier alternatives to enhance the nutrient density and health benefits of many tasty cultural dishes! I know how much time goes in to preparing day-to-day meals, and I can empathize with persons who also struggle to carve out the time and energy to cook and clean-up after lovingly making homemade meals. I am a home cook myself, and have strategies that can ease any obstacles or mental blocks you are experiencing. If you are reading this, and you have a “this is me!” moment, look no further, I do understand where you are coming from and I can help you.

I love all things family, and when I am not enjoying an epic playdate with my 3 children, I am scoping out the latest research pertaining to all things related to health (my second love!) I am a peer-reviewer for the first Canadian Journal of Naturopathic Medicine, which assesses alternative and complementary medicine manuscripts and the latest advancements in Naturopathic Medicine clinical research, treatment strategies and safety considerations.

Practical community health promotion is important to me. I have been a community volunteer for some of the most incredible organizations for over 25 years. I am currently a volunteer Instructor with the award-winning, internationally recognized Roots of Empathy Program. This program teaches elementary school-aged children about emotional literacy, which I believe is foundational for the health of our children and future.

I am a volunteer board member for St. Marguerite Bourgeoys FertilityCare (MBFC) not-for-profit organization since 2019, and I have provided naturopathic support to this community since 2014. Even for those who are not intending to become pregnant, it is incredible how much you can learn about the health of your body, by becoming body literate. I am a Natural Family Planning Aware-Naturopathic Doctor and I really strongly believe health starts before conception.

My previously published contributions have been in the Naturopathic Doctor News and Review (NDNR) Journal entitled Naturopathic Care & Pain: Lessons from an Interdisciplinary Medical Practice. These pieces released in July 2016 and September 2016 highlight my passion for the advancement of interprofessional initiatives, and comment on my experience utilizing the full spectrum of naturopathic tools to support medicine’s goal of addressing the fundamental causes of disease and addressing the whole person through individualized treatment. It discusses the real challenges working and learning together within the clinical context of an interventional chronic pain management team setting. Though pain management is not the only focus I have now as I have evolved in my practice as a Naturopathic Doctor, I do draw from many of my experiences from here, as it taught me the importance of treating not only our patient, but to extend care to those important persons who support them. I have been on a mission to especially nurture our nurturers.

I was one of only 10 Naturopathic Doctors selected in 2019 to represent Canadian Naturopathic Doctors’ practices. My case contributions were analyzed alongside my esteemed colleagues internationally and published in the BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies Journal in February 2020, entitled Overview of International Naturopathic Practice and Patient Characteristics: Results from a Cross-Sectional Study in 14 Countries.

It is my deep honour to be a part of your healthcare team, and I hope our work together inspires you to live your best life!
