About

I’m so glad you made your way here. My name is Dr. Jessie Short, I am a naturopathic doctor practicing in beautiful Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. I grew up in St. Margarets Bay, and after many years away pursuing my education in Western Australia, and more recently in B.C., I am beyond excited to be back. 

When I’m not at work, you’ll probably find me outside, exploring. I love to hike, bike, run, paddleboard, sail, swim, cross country ski, snowshoe…you get the picture. I also love to practice yoga and to spend time with friends and family, enjoying all of the amazing local food, music, and art that our province has to offer.  

I believe in addressing the root cause of disease by developing individualized, multi-faceted treatment plans that allow my patients to reach a state of sustainable health. I have a special interest in women’s health, particularly in helping women navigate hormonal changes and imbalances, digestive concerns, stress and anxiety. 

I am a professional member in good standing with the Nova Scotia Association of Naturopathic Doctors (NSAND), the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the College of Naturopathic Doctors of Alberta (CNDA).
