CCNM - Boucher Interns

Senior Interns Supervised by Dr. Romi Fung, ND

On top of my private practice in Richmond, BC, I supervise senior student clinicians at the Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic, a teaching clinic where 4th year Naturopathic Medical Interns gain clinical experience seeing patients under a licensed Naturopathic Doctor.

This is an option for those who are seeking more affordable care while giving opportunities for interns to utilize what they have learned in their intensive studies.

The Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic is located at:

320-435 Columbia Street

New Westminster, BC. V3L 5N8

Meet the interns that are supervised by Dr. Fung below!
You can make an appointment at the Boucher Naturopathic Medical Clinic at (604) 540-2873 or visit https://www.boucherclinic.org

Parnia Jafari

Hi everyone! My name is Parnia, and I’m a naturopathic medical intern with a background in psychology and a deep passion for understanding the whole person, not just a diagnosis.

My special interests are complex and autoimmune conditions, hormonal health, digestion, chronic pain/MSK concerns, and mental health. As someone who went from a very sedentary lifestyle focused on gaming, reading, and studying into a physically demanding manual labour job, I personally experienced how chronic pain and tension can develop even when there isn’t one clear injury or trigger. That experience shaped how I think about movement, stress, inflammation, recovery, and the importance of building a strong foundation for health.

Dylan McKinnon

A fourth-year naturopathic medical student, I was drawn to naturopathic medicine through my previous work as a case manager supporting unhoused adults living with severe and persistent mental illness. My clinical interests include acupuncture, mental health, and community-centred approaches to healing inspired by social justice-oriented models of care.

Meet The Team on Wednesdays 3pm-7pm

Alexa Bryant

Hi, I'm Alexa, 4th year naturopathic medical intern, working under the supervision of Dr Fung at the Boucher Clinic on Wednesday evenings. I have over 10 years of experience coaching swimming and CrossFit (along with being an athlete in both) which led me to a passion for health, fitness, and nutrition that I get to live out in the world of naturopathic medicine. I believe in collaborative, whole-person healing that prioritizes health built from the ground up. I have a bachelor's degree in nutrition, as well as a master's in human nutrition and functional medicine, so needless to say, food is a big part of medicine in my books.

Megan Moore

Hi, I’m Megan! My interest in naturopathic medicine began after being diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune condition at a young age. Through my own health journey, I developed a deep appreciation for the body's remarkable capacity to heal when given the right support. My scientific background sparked a fascination with understanding why disease develops and what drives our health, which continues to fuel my interest in identifying and addressing the root causes of illness. I am particularly interested in chronic pain, fascia health, mental health, and metabolic disorders, and I enjoy working collaboratively with patients to help them achieve their health goals through individualized, evidence-informed care.
