Pursuit 365 Day 93: Dr. Allison Patton

Dr. Allison Patton, BSc., MBA, ND* is a West Coast mother, Naturopathic Physician, and Politician.

*services of naturopathic medicine provided by a health profession corp., Ardour Wellness Inc.

I am a high achieving, high energy, loving, creative woman who thrives on collaboration and challenge and who enjoys being a naturopathic physician, a mother, and a politician.

I have discovered over time that I experience deep meaning and purpose in my life when I find myself on the other side of an achievement that, at first, I utterly feared. 

For me, living equates to helping. My best self comes forth when I can be there for others and do things to make them feel better. 

As a healer, I need to work very hard on my own personal growth. I am only able to help to the level I have evolved. To follow the challenging path of personal growth is an honor and privilege that allows me to be a more compassionate and caring naturopathic physician. 

Leadership, at its core, is about helping and serving others today and imagining a new way forward tomorrow. As I work through the challenges of proactive personal growth, I have noticed that my methods of demonstrating my style of leadership often seem unorthodox and chaotic as opposed to organized and calm. During the most chaotic of these times of transformation, I try to practice self-love and self-care, and if I cannot, I reach out to my small, trusted circle and ask for help.

Currently, I have the immense pleasure to participate in life as a mother to an energetic, intelligent, and deep-hearted athlete and daughter. I am a Naturopathic Physician in my new modern centre of excellence in naturopathic medicine, Ardour Wellness, which means the passion of life. I also serve as a Councillor elected in the City of Surrey, where I describe the people as having small city hearts and big city minds. 

At the end of my days, if I can reflect that I have loved courageously, that I said yes to helping others, that I contributed to my community, that I healed wherever I could, and that I took as many opportunities as possible to jump into the abyss and shine, then I will deem that I have lived my life on my terms, and I will be at a place of deep peace and gratitude.

Pursuit 365 Day 106: Tina Richardson Tina Richard Pursuit 365 Day 106: Tina Richardson  Tina Richardson is a 54-year-old Mother of 3- champion of causes that raise awareness for Pediatric cancers, toy shopper extraordinaire and death doula.  “There are no magic words when it comes to dealing with grief. It’s a necessary part of the mourning process. It’s so important not to conceal our emotions, as most of us have been conditioned to do.
During my grief journey, I’ve learned that we will never get over the loss of our children, but with time, we find ways of getting through it. Grief comes in waves, as unpredictable as the waves of an ocean.”

Pursuit 365 Day 104: Siobhan Coates / @siobhans_s Pursuit 365 Day 104: Siobhan Coates  / @siobhans_sparkup  Siobhan Coates is a Stand-Up Comedian, A Storyteller, A Speaker, and a Life Coach, who has a message for her 12-year-old self.  “I did my first skydive in 1994 ... I spent days up until the first jump, nervous, imagining all kinds of scenarios, fear ever-present, wanting to back out countless times. But when the day came, and I had 8 hours of training, I felt prepared. When that door opened, and I climbed out and let go of the wing of the plane, a sense of peace like no other came over me and I thought ‘I did all that worrying for nothing’.”

Pursuit 365 Day 103: Kim Drury / @kimdrury15 Ki Pursuit 365 Day 103: Kim Drury  / @kimdrury15  Kim Drury is a mother, daughter, and sister, who instinctively took on the role of anchor when her family needed it most.  “Loss affects people differently. My Mom became quieter, an emotional stone. My Dad became more tolerant and open to people’s differences. I continued to love them and learn that they were once younger parents trying to learn the ropes. Once I realized that they were like me, I accepted their failures and celebrated their successes. They became the epitome of Grandparents”
