Who am I?
My name is Erica Volk and I am in my third year of a four-year education at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon, in pursuit of a doctorate in naturopathic medicine (ND). Born and raised in Kelowna, British Columbia, I spent seven years living on beautiful Vancouver Island in Victoria, British Columbia, where I attended the University of Victoria, completing a bachelor of arts in English honours and working at the university library. Although I have always been interested in alternative medicine and wellness, because of my liberal arts background, it took several years of preparation for a career in librarianship before I realized that my true calling is naturopathic medicine. Once I heard the call, I had no choice but to make the leap from arts to sciences and follow my passion. From the moment I made the switch, I have experienced a deep sense of knowing that I am on the correct path, which excites and inspires me every single day.
I hope to use this blog to share what inspires me as well as any useful knowledge, tips, or recipes I pick up during my education (from both school and life) that may be of use to others (you!)
