Grassroots Naturopathic Medicine was founded in 2005, and has become one of the most prominent naturopathic wellness practices in the Calgary region. To understand where Grassroots is now, and where it is headed,let’s rewind back to the start. In the founding story of Grassroots, we start at the very beginning: with two future friends who didn’t even know they’d be friends yet. Beverly and Mary, our incredible founders, were merely two students in the same class at first, not particularly close, but inevitably tied together through the alphabetical arrangement of their last names. A methodical (and rather lazy!) alphabetical class attendance list placed “Huang” and “Knudsen” in close proximity, landing them in the same workgroups time and time again. Through these countless hours of collaboration, a bond began to form between them.
