We are so excited to have Dr. Janice join Vero Health in the spring of 2024! She is an experienced and wonderful naturopathic physician. She will be working virtually with patients in BC and Alberta and is available for Friday and Saturday virtual appts.
Dr. Dacyshyn graduated in 2005 from Bastyr University, a school she chose to attend due to its strong focus on science based Naturopathic education. She has been in practice as a Naturopathic doctor in the Edmonton area for 17 years now, growing in her skills and experience in diagnostic evaluation and natural medicines.
She began her pre-medical studies initially to pursue conventional medicine, but quickly realized that it was Naturopathic medicine that would nurture her desire to empower and educate her patients on the powerful principles of preventative medicine. She feels that is truly an honour to do this work, and is inspired by the changes that her patients make. It is a privilege to serve the moms, the kids, the sisters, the brothers, the friends and co-workers of her patients and never takes any of these new meetings for granted.
Her passion in practice is to forge a personal connection with her patients based on a deep respect for the individual in her care and the personal journey they are on, and to get to the heart of their individual health concerns through a comprehensive and informed intake process. She relies on over 17 years of clinical experience to get an extensive history and to make an accurate medical assessment, and may use various testing modalities to elucidate further the causes behind the patient’s health issues. She strives for exceptional and effective patient care and encourages her patients to play an active role in their own personal treatment plan and healing process. Her patients thrive in the warm, compassionate environment that she creates-something that she recognizes as an important element in the doctor/patient equation. She is also enthusiastic about bridging the gap between conventional and Naturopathic medicine, and stays well-informed on both so that she can enjoy helping her patients negotiate the benefits of both.
Dr. Dacyshyn is a well-rounded practitioner with areas of focus that include: digestive disorders such as IBS, Colitis and Crohn’s disease; hormonal issues including PMS, menopause, thyroid, adrenal and male hormone concerns; and mood disorders including depression and anxiety. She is delighted to work with children and adults of all ages.
She has received additional training and certification in the area of intravenous (IV) therapies, epigenetics, detoxification and hormone therapy and she has successfully completed both written and oral exams in Pharmacology as mandated by the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta.

Hi! I’m Dr. Shelby Entner and am the owner and founder of Vero Health Naturopathic Care. I graduated from the UBC in 1996 and received my doctorate from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, OR in 2002 after 10 years of schooling.
Over twenty two years of medical practice has allowed me to combine clinical experience with scientific knowledge to address patient concerns. I work with you to provide treatment programs that are highly effective, realistic and relevant to understand. The best part of my job is helping you to understand your health and be empowered with knowledge and tools to start feeling well again.
We work together using natural medicines, advanced lab testing, nutrition and supplements, herbal medicines, IV nutritional medicine, bio-identical hormones and I utilize my medical training to diagnosis and treat the underlying causes of illness. Emotional and physical health are always assessed together because you are not just a condition but a complex individual experiencing symptoms of dis-ease. We want to understand how your illness affects Y O U and what the best treatment will be for Y O U.
Throughout my medical training and practicums I have advanced training and experience with:
Fatigue
Anxiety/Depression
Digestive Disorders
Hormonal Issues including menopause, PMS, fertility, PCOS
Weight Loss
Men’s Health
Thyroid Disorders
Autoimmune Disease
Pain
Acne, Eczema & Psoriasis
These are a few of my qualifications and experiences:
Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine since 2002
Extensive education in women’s health from gynaecology rotations in U.S and practicing bio-identical hormones since 2000
IV Certified in nutritional IVs and chelation therapy since 2006
Licensed to prescribe conventional medications with prescription authority since 2008
Four years of being a CPP Review Tribunal medical member for the Canadian government
I have taught in hospitals and universities, lectured extensively throughout the U.S and Canada about natural medicine and have been a frequent contributor to newspapers and magazines.
Currently a Health Ambassador for Nature’s Fare
Advanced training and membership in EndoANP (endocrinology/hormones)
And I went to the Oscars once to promote natural health care and give gifts! Unfortunately Ryan Reynolds didn’t stop by :)
I have had the pleasure of helping thousands of people over the years. I downsized my clinic in the spring of 2017 to focus on a more intimate and immediate connection with my patients. I ran a successful “Noah’s Ark” medical clinic of practitioners for many years but realized that downsizing and simplifying my life gave me more energy and time for myself and for you.
I have a busy family life with my husband Ryan and our kids and we love the Okanagan lifestyle of sun and snow! I look forward to helping you and your families find their best health, the “Vero Health” we all deserve!

Ashley Piderman is a Registered Acupuncturist with the CTCMA and has been a part of Vero Health since 2014.
Growing up in Nelson, BC, Ashley has always been aware of acupuncture, though only ventured to her first appointments in her teenage years to help manage her knee pain from playing competitive sports. During her first course of treatments, she experienced an improvement in her overall health as well as a significant decrease in pain while the knee strength increased.
Years later, during one treatment after a car accident, Ashley thought to herself “Hey, I could do this”, and from that moment on, Ashley started working towards her goal of learning Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Attending the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in her hometown, Ashley discovered a true passion for TCM and dedicated herself to completing the four year Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine program. Her studies were interrupted by a battle with Crohn’s disease, but she refused to give up on her dream and eventually completed her studies and graduated as the class valedictorian.
Ashley loves the theories and holistic approach of Chinese medicine. Major interests in treatments include autoimmune diseases, mental and emotional imbalances, insomnia, digestive complaints as well as pain management.
Her personal interests are varied when she’s not working with her patients. She enjoys learning Chinese written language, HEMA sword work, reading, drawing, and going to comic book conventions, occasionally writing for her own blog or other online sites.
