Dena Churchill is a disgraced Canadian former Nova Scotia “chiropractor” who was forced to surrender her license to practise chiropractics in 2019 for promoting anti-vaccination conspiracy theories[1][2] on her Facebook page[3] and her blog Dr. Sexy Mom.[4]
Churchill continues to peddle woo such as essential oils[5] through social media such as YouTube[6] and Twitter,[7] and like the disgraced MD Andrew Wakefield, misleadingly continued to use the title "doctor" as of June 2019.
In July 2019, she lost her license and was fined CAD 100,000 (about USD 77,000 or €68,000) as damages for the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors as part of a settlement for bringing the "profession of chiropractics into disrepute." She was given 10 years to repay this fine.[8]
