It was truly a great privilege for me to have the opportunity to chat with Canada’s first Holistic Pharmacist, RoseMarie Pierce.

RoseMarie Pierce, B.Sc. Pharm, is the owner of Pharmacy-Alternatives Corporation, a consulting firm specializing natural product development, formulation and research. In 1972, she earned her Pharmacy degree from Dalhousie University, Halifax. While at university, she partook in the  “Opportunities for Youth” program managing the dispensary for the Storefront Health clinic located in the under-privileged area of Halifax. In the early part of her career, she taught prescription compounding to 4th year pharmacy students at The College of Pharmacy, Dalhousie University. 

RoseMarie studied Herbology for a number of years with Clinical herbalist Terry Willard, Ph.D. at Wild Rose College. Following extensive studies in herbology and nutritional medicine, RoseMarie integrated these disciplines into her pharmacy practice to become one of Canada’s first holistic pharmacist. She is widely recognized in Canada as a well-loved integrated health spokesperson, media personality and writer.  

Throughout her career, RoseMarie has researched and formulated natural medicines, and lectured across Canada on holistic health with an emphasis on women’s hormonal health, digestive issues, cognitive and ocular wellness, inflammation, immunity, pH balance, as well as drug-nutrient depletions. RoseMarie has a natural ability to present technical information in an easy-to-understand format and acts as a catalyst for individuals who wish to improve their health, enjoy vitality and realize their potential. 

RoseMarie is on the faculty (as a visiting Professor) of Pacific Rim College, an award-winning institution specializing in Holistic Medicine and Sustainable Living. She has presented two weekend workshops as part of the Diploma of Holistic Nutrition program and now has her first online course on Drug–Nutrient Depletions and Drug–Food–Herb–Nutrient Interactions, which started Fall 2020.

RoseMarie serves as a senior technical adviser for Prairie Naturals Health Products and GFR Pharma Manufacturing. She has over 48 years of extensive experience in both the Natural Health Industry as well as in conventional medicine.

RoseMarie has two grown daughters who spent 9 & 11 years in Waldorf education. She was a founding director and second president of the Calgary Waldorf School and served on the board of the Sunhaven Waldorf School once she and her husband moved to the Sunshine Coast. Anthroposophical medicine and home remedies, Waldorf education and the work of Rudolf Steiner remain dear to her heart.

RoseMarie, and her husband David have been offering community development workshops known as “Heart-to-Heart” Communication to groups and individuals of all kinds in both North America and Europe since the early 1990’s. This heart-opening process, helping individuals develop deep human connections, is one way David and RoseMarie feel they can contribute to the betterment of humanity.
