Dr. Sara Kinnon’s dedication and commitment have earned her the chance to be the best small business employer in British Columbia.
The West Vancouver naturopathic physician, who owns and has a practice at Bellevue Natural Health Clinic, is a top-five finalist in the Successful You Awards sponsored by Small Business BC. She was nominated in the Best Employer category by office manager Kami Fasan.
Selecting the Successful You winners is a three-step process. First, businesses applied online and then used their social network to help them secure the most votes (proportional to the size of the region) and a place in the top 10. Once the top 10 were selected in December, each business submitted an extended application that was the basis for selecting the top five nominees. Now that the top five have been selected, each business will create a pitch that they present to judges. The judges will select the winner of each category based on the pitches. Then, the winner is announced at a business networking event and ceremony on March 29.
Dr. Kinnon received her degree in naturopathic medicine from one of North America’s most esteemed naturopathic medical school, Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia.
While interested in all facets of health, Dr. Kinnon specializes in women’s and children’s health issues, cancer, detoxification and environmental medicine. Utilizing science-based treatment plans, she tailors her sessions to meet the individual needs of each patient. She believes in the power of preventative medicine and in the importance of uncovering the root cause of illness. Dr. Kinnon’s approach combines laboratory medicine, lifestyle modifications, nutritional analysis and various other holistic methods to guide and empower her patients on their journey to optimal health.  She is committed to providing evidence-based effective health care. This commitment involves continuously updating her skills and knowledge in therapies such as chelation, neural therapy, environmental medicine and more.
In her spare time, she enjoys crossfit training and walking her dogs in Lynn Canyon.
