Dr. Sonya Jensen
Dr. Sonya Jensen graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2002 with a Cell and Molecular Biology degree. Her fascination with the human body and how it works led her to continue on the path of learning at The Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine where after 4 years of in depth study she became a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. After graduating she travelled extensively through South East Asia and India which gave her a deeper understanding of how she can incorporate a holistic approach to healing not only the body, but also the mind and soul.
Dr. Sonya specializes in Women’s Health and Pediatrics and it is through this work that she has come to understand how important a healthy, balanced hormonal system is for women. She believes that a healthy mom helps makes for a healthy family and so her passion lies in working with women to create health and harmony in their lives. Her training spans over several modalities including acupuncture, Ayurveda, and Bowen Therapy. Bowen Therapy works to help promote a more balanced state in the nervous system. Our society tends to be very sympathetic ‑ fight or flight, action response ‑ dominant and this can result in a parasympathetic ‑ healing, rejuvenating system that is never given a chance to respond. By coaxing the body’s parasympathetic system to into the picture, the body’s innate healing nature can work.
In 2009, Dr. Sonya along with her husband and fellow Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Nicholas Jensen opened Divine Elements Health Centre in the heart of Kitsilano in Vancouver, BC. They have spent the past 3 years developing their practice and deepening their understanding of how to work with their patients to create lasting changes in overall health and well-being.
In 2012 both doctors trained with Dr. Ron Brown, the leader in bioidentical hormone therapy in Canada, and see the integration of the Truebalance bioidentical hormone replacement therapy system as an exciting opportunity to offer this effective and proven treatment to patients. Using her foundation in Naturopathic medicine in combination with the truebalance system, Dr. Sonya can see the real potential to work with her patients to rediscover their strength and their own inner healer.

It is our shared belief and vision that there are no limits to the healing potential within every individual. Sometimes we just need an encouraging nudge to help us remember who we really are and what we’re capable of.
