Botanical Medicine

Mother nature has a cure for many things that synthetic drugs are used for. Healing naturally keeps your body healthy without side effects or dependancy issues.

Botanical medicine comprises plants (or substances that come from plants) to be used to treat or prevent disease. Dr. Alana can discuss your concerns and provide a detailed form of action so book your consultation today.

Acupuncture and Electroacupuncture

Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Qi energy that in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is considered essential to health. When the body is healthy, Qi (pronounced chee), flows smoothly through the meridians that make up a conceptual network of pathways throughout the entire body.

When the balance or flow of Qi is deficient or obstructed it may be diseased or susceptible to illness. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the root causes of the patient’s illness.

For those who suffer from chronic pain, we may suggest a slightly more aggressive treatment called Electroacupuncture. It is very similar to acupuncture but adds a small electric current that is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles for a deeper treatment that is particularly good for pain.

Clinical Nutrition

Food is our best friend but can sometmes feel like our worst enemy.

Research done by the Public Health Agency of Canada in 2017 reported that 64% of Canadian adults over the age of 18 are overweight or obese. 60% of those aged 5-17 are also overweight or obese. It’s an epidemic.

Dr. Alana and Odette’s staff have spent years studying proper nutrition and diet. One appointment can change your outlook on nutrition and set you on a path to health and overall well-being.

Detoxification

Detoxification is the process of removing toxic substances or qualities from your body. Quite often detoxing can directly affect the performance of gut health. Combined with clinical nutrition we can help you feel, and function better.

Lifestyle Coaching

Nutrition, detoxification, acupuncture… there are a lot of options to consider as you work to improve your health. We want you to know that you’re not alone.

From weight loss solutions to bio-identical hormone therapy, we will work with you to discover what works and support you through your transformation.  

Hormone Balancing

As we age our body changes. From puberty to mid-life and then into our golden years. Women, in particular, feel many unbalances at different times in their lifetime.

If you’re experiencing symptoms such as severe headaches, excessive sweating, hot flashes, mood swings, unexplained fluctuating weight, menstrual pain, insomnia, anxiety or even  skin, nail and hair becoming brittle; Hormones could be the culprit.

Dr. Alana can assess your conditions and recommend a variety of options. Bio-identical hormone therapy could help and we can help you figure it out.

True health infuses positive energy in the mind, body and spirit.
