Services
Naturopathic doctors have a range of modalities in their toolkit to address a wide variety of health concerns.
-
Botanical Medicine
Botanical medicine, also known as herbal medicine, uses plants and plant extracts to support health and restore balance in the body. Naturopathic doctors are trained in both traditional uses of herbs and modern scientific research, allowing for safe, effective, and individualized treatment. Whether used as teas, tinctures, capsules, or topical applications, botanical medicine can help address a wide range of concerns, from digestive and hormonal imbalances to immune support and stress management.
-
Clinical Homeopathy
Homeopathy is a gentle, holistic system of medicine that uses highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s own healing response. Based on the principle of “like cures like,” homeopathic remedies are selected according to each individual’s unique symptoms and overall constitution. Naturopathic doctors are trained to prescribe safe, individualized remedies that can support a wide range of health concerns, from acute ailments to chronic conditions, while working in harmony with the body’s natural processes.
-
Nutritional Counselling
Nutrition is the foundation of health and healing. I provide individualized guidance to help my patients understand the connection between their diet and wellbeing. By addressing nutrient deficiencies, supporting digestion, and creating sustainable, balanced eating plans, nutritional counselling can help manage chronic conditions, improve energy, and support long-term health goals.
-
Cupping & Massage
Cupping and massage are hands-on therapies that improve circulation, release muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Cupping uses gentle suction to draw blood flow to specific areas, helping to reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness. Massage therapy works to ease stress, relax tight muscles, and promote overall wellbeing. Together, these therapies can enhance recovery, improve mobility, and provide a sense of deep relaxation.
-
Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system that balances the body’s energy, or “Qi,” to support overall health and wellbeing. Acupuncture, a key TCM therapy, involves the gentle insertion of fine needles at specific points to restore balance, reduce pain, and promote natural healing. Trained in TCM, I integrate these therapies with modern medical knowledge to address a wide range of conditions and support optimal health.
-
Specialized Lab Tests
Specialized lab testing allows me to gain deeper insights into a patient’s health, identifying underlying imbalances that may not show up in standard tests. These tests can assess hormone levels, nutrient status, digestive function, and more, providing personalized information to guide treatment plans. By using advanced diagnostics alongside clinical expertise, I can create targeted strategies to optimize health and find the root cause of clinical symptoms.
-
Cosmetic Acupuncture + Gua Sha
Cosmetic acupuncture and Gua Sha are natural, non-invasive anti-aging therapies that support skin health and beauty. Cosmetic acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate circulation, collagen production, and muscle tone, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote a youthful glow. Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese technique using smooth-edged tools, helps improve circulation, release tension, and enhance lymphatic drainage. Both therapies work holistically to nourish the skin while supporting the body’s natural balance.
-
Lifestyle Counselling + Supplements
Lifestyle counselling helps patients make practical, sustainable changes that support long-term health. I work collaboratively with my patients to address areas such as stress management, sleep, movement, and daily habits, creating personalized strategies that fit each individual’s needs and goals. By focusing on the foundations of healthy living, lifestyle counselling empowers patients to take an active role in their wellbeing.
