Hi I'm Dr. Shawna Darou, ND

I’ve been practicing as a Naturopath for 22 years, helping women navigate life’s transitions with science-backed solutions that actually work. Perimenopause and menopause don’t need to be a struggle. With the right tools, they can be a time of transformation. I’m here to give you the knowledge and strategies you need to feel stronger, healthier, and more in control of your body. No magic pills. Just real, lasting solutions.

I’ve seen firsthand that when women get the right tools, knowledge, and support, they thrive. You don’t have to figure this out alone - I’m here to help you feel strong, vibrant, and in control of your health again.

Through my group online program Metabolic Mastery, I bring together women who are ready to take charge of their health, cut through the noise of conflicting advice, and make lasting changes.  For those seeking deeper, personalized transformation, NEXT LEVEL health program provides an immersive, high-touch experience designed to optimize your health from the inside out.


I use a combination of naturopathic medicine and functional medicine, in order to bring you the highest quality, most evidence-based care.

Let’s do this together.
