Career
Clara began her career in the sciences working in Colombia, as both a Research Associate and a University Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Biotechnology. Upon her arrival in Canada, Clara worked as a Research Associate at the Botany department of The University of Toronto, and her passion for science drove her to pursue her Ph.D. studies. Soon after she began post-doctoral work at The University of Guelph, she was granted a position at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada, where she worked for six years doing research in the immunopathology of Multiple Sclerosis. In addition to her lab work, she also worked as a Clinic Coordinator. Her involvement with children and their families in the clinic was a beautiful and rewarding experience, as it gave her the opportunity to see the benefits of her work from a personal perspective.
Clara has always had an interest in natural medicine, but it was her desperation to help her three year old son overcome asthma, that drove her to search for natural alternatives. Inspired by her positive experience, Clara quit her position at The Hospital for Sick Children to study Homeopathy. Over the past 7 years, Clara has successfully treated individuals of different age groups with acute and chronic conditions, and numerous children with sports-related injuries.
