Senior Associate - Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine involves a functional medicine approach to healthcare, identifying the biochemical and physiological imbalances within the individual, and using natural, scientifically-proven solutions to rectify these imbalances. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on naturally occurring substances, minimally invasive methods, and the promotion of natural healing. They also emphasize illness prevention and a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Naturopathic Doctors focus not only on the symptoms but also the underlying conditions causing the symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors treat the root causes of disease and address preventable risk factors, using a wide range of science and evidence-based, natural, and conventional therapies.

IV Nutrient Therapy
Nutrient intravenous therapy refers to the use of vitamins, minerals, and/or botanicals delivered directly into the bloodstream. This is a safe and effective way to achieve therapeutic levels of nutrients. When you take a supplement orally, you only absorb a percentage of the nutrients contained within the capsule. Capsules and tablets are riddled with preservatives and binders that prevent your body from breaking them down completely, thus decreasing the quantity of nutrients available to be absorbed. By delivering the nutrients directly into your bloodstream, and bypassing the digestive tract, you are able to absorb 100% of the nutrients.
This type of treatment is often used in cancer, inflammatory bowel diseases, chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, PMS, athletes, people who do not like taking supplements, among other things! Contact us to learn more.
Laser
The Bioflex Laser treatment builds and repairs damaged cells. This treatment delivers low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) with a combination of a light-emitting diode (LED). This combination stimulates cellular regrowth of the localized area while accelerating the healing process.
You will notice an increase in mobility and a decrease in the pain that has been preventing you from enjoying your life!

Counselling / Mental Health
You can expect to be treated with respect and compassion. My approach is trauma informed and emotion focused. I recognize the importance of establishing a safe space to support personal reflection, exploration, and growth. I believe in the practice of self-care and the invaluable act of meeting emotion with a non-judgemental approach. My education, work, and life has taught me that we are shaped by our experiences, relationships, dispositions, and environments. I have received additional training and skill in the areas of system navigation, advocacy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and mindfulness.
Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the oldest continuously practiced medicine in the world, dating back to the First Century BCE. but is now also considered a form of evidence-based medicine. The World Health Organization lists 28 diseases, symptoms or conditions for which acupuncture has been proven, through controlled trials, effective. It also lists another 63 conditions where acupuncture has been shown to be effective, but further study is needed.
TCM's understanding of the body is focused on the functional entities of the body and their ability to work harmoniously when the body is in a balanced and healthy state, or their dysfunction when there are diseases or health conditions. TCM seeks to use presenting signs and symptoms to find the pattern of illness and therefore treat the root cause. This diagnostic method is rooted in TCM's idea that in order to understand a person's health, you must study the functional aspects, rather than the structures themselves. Treatment in TCM most commonly includes acupuncture, where practitioners use thin, sterile disposable needles inserted superficially into specific areas of the body in order to help the body's ability to heal itself. Diet, lifestyle counselling, cupping, exercises (Tai Chi/Qi Gong), needleless acupuncture, and many other auxiliary techniques may also be used.
