About Dr. Rachel VandenBerg, ND
Guidance Rooted in Experience, Evidence, and Understanding
Women's Health Online was created from more than two decades of working closely with women navigating perimenopause, the menopause transition, and the years beyond.
My name is Dr. Rachel VandenBerg, and I am a licensed naturopathic doctor in Ontario. For over 20 years, I've supported women through midlife changes in clinical practice, while continually deepening my training through ongoing education and a commitment to staying current with evolving research.
Over time, I've seen clearly what women are often missing: not motivation, not effort, but clear, trustworthy information and a framework that makes this stage of life feel manageable.
My Approach
My approach is grounded in:
Evidence-based education
Information you can trust, delivered with clarity, compassion, and respect for individuality.
Extensive clinical experience
More than 20 years working with women in midlife, seeing every day what works and what doesn't.
Thoughtful, practical application
Understanding, capacity-building, and long-term wellbeing rather than quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions.
This philosophy is at the heart of both my clinical practice and everything offered through Women's Health Online.
Why Women's Health Online Exists
Midlife is often accompanied by mixed messages, conflicting advice, and information overload. Many women are left unsure of what applies to them, or where to even begin.
Women's Health Online was created to be different.
Whether you're navigating symptoms now or looking ahead with a focus on longevity, this platform offers guidance that is grounded, accessible, and thoughtful.
An educational space designed to
- Reduce overwhelm
- Organize information into clear, supportive frameworks
- Empower women with knowledge that helps them make confident decisions
- Support both immediate concerns and long-term health planning
A personal note
Like many of the women I support, I am also navigating my own menopause transition.
That lived experience brings an additional layer of understanding to my work, not as a substitute for evidence or training, but as a reminder of how important it is to feel seen, supported, and informed during this phase of life.
