Hi I'm Dr. Katie Thomson Aitken, naturopathic doctor and author. I help people understand the connections between their mental health, nervous system, and physical symptoms—and build care plans that actually fit real life.
Tranquil Minds might be for you if…
Migraine, headaches, or post-concussion symptoms are limiting your life.
Stress and anxiety are affecting your sleep, focus, energy, digestion, or ability to function.
You know your mood, hormones, energy and symptoms are all connected, but can’t always connect the dots to know what is causing what.
You are neurodivergent and notice most health advice does not seem designed for your brain.
You have been told everything looks normal, but you still do not feel well.
You want thoughtful support without being handed an overwhelming list of things to do.

Migraine & Headache
Whole-person support for migraine management from nervous system sensitivity, to hormones, to sleep and nutrition.
Your symptoms are connected. Your care should be too.
Mental health, sleep, hormones, nutrition, movement, nervous-system regulation, and physical symptoms all affect one another. My approach is to look at the whole picture, identify the most useful places to begin, and build a treatment plan that fits your actual life and capacity.
Comprehensive
We look beyond one symptom or diagnosis, zoom out of your symptoms and take in your whole health picture from your sleep routine to your blood work.
Evidence-informed
Recommendations are grounded in research, clinical reasoning, and safety; while keeping your goals and values at the forefront
Realistic
Your plan needs to work for your brain, schedule, energy, and resources. Expect support and encouragement, never judgement.

I’m Dr. Katie Thomson Aitken, a naturopathic doctor, author, and educator with more than 12 years of clinical experience.
My work focuses on the places where mental and physical health overlap, including anxiety, neurodivergence, migraine, concussion recovery, sleep, hormones, and nervous-system regulation.
I believe care should be evidence-informed, practical, and designed around your actual life. You should understand why each recommendation is being made, and your treatment plan should support you without becoming another source of overwhelm.
