Honouring the Rhythm of Healing, Connection, and Inner Radiance

WOMEN IN WELLNESS: A Conversation with Dr. Chelsea Dakers, ND

What does it really mean to feel well—as a woman, in the messiness of modern life, amidst the noise of quick fixes and hormonal havoc? For Dr. Chelsea Dakers, wellness isn’t about chasing perfection. It’s about coming home—to yourself, your body, your cycles, and your truth.

I had the joy of sitting down with Chelsea, a Naturopathic Doctor who blends modern medicine with ancestral wisdom, to talk about the rhythms, rituals, and revelations that guide her work. Her perspective is both grounding and inspiring—woven with clinical knowledge, deep intuition, and a sincere reverence for the feminine body.

Here’s a glimpse into our conversation.

✨ A Day in the Life: Rituals Rooted in Rhythm

Chelsea’s ideal day starts the way many of us dream about—no alarm clock. While that’s not always reality, she cherishes the mornings she can wake naturally, beginning the day with grounding rituals: bare feet on the earth, brushing her hair and face under the sunrise, and a nourishing breakfast rich in protein and all the macros.

“Meal times are sacred for me,” she shares. “Monotasking only—no distractions. I honour that space.”

Evenings follow a circadian rhythm—candles or infrared lighting only, red lenses if screens are needed, and a gentle wind-down to prepare for deep, restorative sleep. Her routines are disciplined, but not rigid—they offer a strong container for grace to exist in the everyday chaos.

🔥 The Path That Chose Her

Chelsea’s journey into the world of healing wasn’t a straight line—it was a long and winding path shaped by mentors, personal growth, and the courage to follow her intuition.

“It’s been an epic combination of my personal healing journey and deep investigation in the healing arts,” she explains. From working in conventional medical settings to co-founding a naturopathic clinic in the midst of a global pandemic, every experience deepened her understanding of what true health looks like: the kind that emerges naturally when we clear the clutter and create space for it.

💫 A Message for Women in Their Bleeding Years

Chelsea is especially passionate about supporting women during their menstrual and reproductive years. Her message is bold, compassionate, and freeing:

“We are meant to heal in community—and it doesn’t require birth control, prescription drugs, or painful procedures. Fertility and easy menses are natural. Our bodies are designed for this.”

Her work is about helping women reconnect with this truth and unlearn the belief that their cycles are problems to be fixed. “Sometimes it’s not about adding more in,” she says, “but getting things out of the way that block the body’s natural intelligence.”

🧭 The Principles That Guide Her Work

At the heart of Chelsea’s approach are the foundational principles of naturopathic medicine—especially the Therapeutic Order and Healing Triangle, timeless frameworks that help her (and her clients) prioritize what matters most in healing.

“These tools are simple, profound, and not just for doctors,” she shares. “Anyone can use them. They help us discern what’s needed, in what order, and why.”

She’s on a mission to share these tools with more women—because when we understand how healing actually works, we become more empowered in our bodies and less reliant on external answers.

💡 What Most of Us Are Missing

In a world obsessed with testing, tech, and fast results, Chelsea reminds us to return to the basics—especially when it comes to hormones.

“Lab testing is not the foundation. That’s the finesse. Foundation is food, sleep, rhythm, and the way we live.”

While she loves labs and uses them in practice, she urges women to pause before diving into expensive testing or complicated protocols. Start with lifestyle. Start with simplicity. Build a base you can trust.

🌿 Defining Wellness, One Season at a Time

Today, Chelsea defines wellness as balance—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. But it’s not static. “It’s a dance,” she says. “A moment-to-moment awareness.”

Letting go of the destination has been one of her biggest lessons. Instead, she tunes into what her experiences are revealing in real time—clues nudging her toward alignment, and the highest good for all.

Final Thoughts

My conversation with Chelsea left me feeling deeply grounded and inspired. She embodies the kind of practitioner we need more of in the wellness space: one who honours the science and the spirit of healing, and who truly sees women not as problems to fix, but as powerful beings with innate capacity to thrive.
