Dr. Miranda Wiley, ND began her education into natural health quite by accident with a
summer job at the local health food store at 13 years old. At that time she was dealing with
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis after a shocking diagnosis of rheumatic fever at 11 years old, and
was on strong prescription medications every 12 hours (which ultimately continued from ages
11 to 15). Motivated both by curiosity about her own health, as well as a desire to help the
customers seeking information at the store, she began her life-long relationship to nutrition,
herbs, nutrients, and different physical modalities.
After graduating from an arts high school in Toronto she moved to Vancouver to complete her
undergrad in Human Nutrition at UBC. She then worked for a few years in the natural health
industry while exploring schools of naturopathic medicine. At that time the only option in
Canada was in Toronto but she had fallen in love with the west coast and didn’t want to return
to a city she already knew so well. The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine opening in
New Westminster was the answer to her dreams, and she graduated in 2009.
Dr. Wiley has prescriptive authority, IV certification, and is trained in both acupuncture and Bowen Technique.
Dr. Wiley also serves as a product educator for a local distribution company selling high quality
supplements, and loves the additional opportunity it provides to educate and empower large numbers of people about herbs, nutrients, and nutraceutical supplements.
When not in practice Dr. Wiley is happiest playing with her kids (who are finally old enough for
some decent board games!) and husband, exploring her creative side in the kitchen, organizing and decluttering, moving her body outdoors or at home on the mat, or sitting quietly with a book and her cat.
