Dr. Stephanie Zelembaba, ND

Hi, I’m Dr. Stephanie Zelembaba, a Naturopathic Doctor and co-owner of Abaton Integrative Medicine. I love working with women and families through the many stages of life, offering support as your health, priorities, and needs change along the way.

When my sister, Dr. Denise Handscomb, and I dreamed of opening Abaton, we pictured a place where we would want to bring our own families. Somewhere you could settle in, share what’s on your mind, and ask questions without feeling rushed. Creating that feeling has always been at the heart of our clinic and how I care for my patients.

One of my favourite parts of this work is getting to know you. What does a typical day look like? What’s been feeling difficult? What would you love to have more energy or confidence to do? Those conversations help us build a plan together—one that makes sense to you and fits into your life. I want you to feel heard, understand your options, and know that you have someone to turn to as things change.

My practice includes women’s health, pregnancy and postpartum care, and pediatrics, with a special interest in perimenopause and menopause. Changes in sleep, mood, periods, or sexual health can leave you wondering why you don’t quite feel like yourself. As a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner, I’m here to help you understand what’s happening and talk through what may help. That includes exploring treatment options, such as menopausal hormone therapy, while considering your health history, preferences, and what matters most to you.

Outside the clinic, I love spending time with my husband, Dusan, and our sons, Liam and Theo. You’ll often find me enjoying a good book, discovering a new restaurant, planning our next family adventure, or slowing down at the cottage.
