The power of nature

Natural. Non-invasive. Self-Healing. Naturopathic Medicine is a science-based and holistic healthcare system that combines traditional, natural, and modern scientific knowledge to help stimulate the body’s natural power.
Symptoms of discomfort and pain are seen as warning signs that the body is not functioning properly. The main goal of Naturopathic Medicine is to determine the underlying cause(s) of symptoms so that health is optimized and future illness is prevented.
A Naturopathic practitioner considers the person ‘as a whole’ to assess all of the internal and external factors that could be affecting the optimal health and physiology of the person. As a result, every treatment plan created specifically and uniquely supports the needs of each individual.
In addition to diet and lifestyle changes, natural therapies can include: nutritional supplements, botanical medicine and traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. For many patients, this holistic approach to healthcare provides a new perspective and awareness where the restoration and maintenance of optimal health can be achieved ‘naturally’.
Frequently asked questions
+ What happens during a treatment session?
In your initial consultation with your selected practitioner, you will be asked questions related to what you hope to accomplish during treatment and how long you have been experiencing symptoms of discomfort, pain or lack of mobility. We will discuss your lifestyle, your current situation and those things that are working or not working for you. Some treatment can be short term. Sometimes treatment will need to be ongoing for several months to work on deeper or more severe issues. Together you and your practitioner will come up with a plan. You will be encouraged to be an active participant in treatment, and will be offered some reading or exercises which you can do on your own to integrate the best possible healing and change. Our aim is for you to leave the first session feeling some relief and with a plan in mind.
+ What can I expect from practitioners?
You can expect to receive compassion, empathy, respect and understanding from us in an environment that feels warm, safe and inviting. You can expect to receive practical guidance and perhaps new perspectives to help you uncover and understand patterns and negative habits that are inhibiting you from living your best life. By using empathy and by paying careful attention to your words, mood, and body language, we will work in a way that feels comfortable for you, at your pace, and always with your goals in mind.
+ What does each treatment session cost? Will my health insurance pay for it?
Treatment sessions ranges from $105-$245, depending on the type and duration.
All our practitioners are registered members within their field. Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Naturopathic Medicine treatments sessions are typically covered by extended health benefits plans.
