Meet The Founder, Dr. Olivia Dack
I inhabit two worlds: one of science, where I’ve spent countless hours at microscopes, isolating single cells, and presenting discoveries at symposiums. It’s a world of precision and wonder, filled with breakthroughs and possibilities. This particular world led me to naturopathic medicine, and for that, I’m forever grateful. However, my second world is slightly less conventional, but every bit as meaningful.
This second world is one of art, movement, design, and fashion. It lives in canvases alive with color, museum walls steeped in history, and the tactile stories told by fabrics and movement. It’s in the lines of architecture and new cultures. This world inspires everything I do, including 2nd Nature.
The word 'Atelier,' meaning a creative space, encapsulates my vision for 2nd Nature. I wanted to create a clinic where healthcare is not just science, but art. Where each treatment plan is approached like an artist’s canvas, blending intention, creativity, collaboration and skill to create something truly unique.
While 2nd Nature began as my personal vision, it quickly became clear that this work is stronger when supported by clinicians who uphold the same standards and philosophy of care.
Meet the Doctors Behind 2nd Nature:
We met in medical school and quickly became each other’s constant; the person you study with, decompress with, and rely on when the weeks get heavy. By our second year, we realized we were becoming the same kind of clinician: intentional, thorough, and unwilling to cut corners.
When I opened 2nd Nature, it felt natural to bring Dr. Bardi into the space. Our approaches have always run in parallel, and working side-by-side simply reflects the alignment we’ve had since school.
What unites our work is a mutual commitment to depth over speed, accuracy over assumptions, and care that’s designed rather than rushed. We both practice from a philosophy that values thorough diagnostics, meaningful patient connection, and treatment plans built with intention. This shared standard is what shapes the clinical experience at 2nd Nature.
