Holistic Nutrition

It all starts from the inside. Think about it — certain foods can really make you feel your best, while others not so much (hello, sugar crashes!).

It all starts from the inside.

Think about it — certain foods can really make you feel your best, while others not so much (hello, sugar crashes!). And it makes sense — what you put in your body has a great impact on how your body functions. Truth is, the journey to living a happier and healthier life starts with building a better, stronger and more empowered you from the inside out.

Our holistic nutritionist can help you reach your wellness goals one step at a time. Armed with the belief that the relationship we have with food and the way our body feels reaches beyond filling our bellies and breaking a sweat, holistic nutrition approaches health and healing by getting to the bottom of what it means to eat healthily, nourishingly and with simplicity, encouraging a balanced and healthy body and mind.

No quick fixes or crash diets here, but rather, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle modifications with a focus on prevention using small changes that can help with a multitude of issues including digestion, women’s health, emotional eating, anxiety and depression, weight loss and difficulty sleeping.

Naturopathic Medicine

Wanna hear something cool? Your body is designed to heal itself. Just think —when your kiddo falls and cuts his or her knee, it scabs over and heals on its own over time. But sometimes our bodies need help with their healing process. That’s where our Naturopathic Doctors play a role. They’ll work with you one-on-one to help identify the underlying root cause of your symptoms and then use a com... Read More

Wanna hear something cool? Your body is designed to heal itself. Just think —when your kiddo falls and cuts his or her knee, it scabs over and heals on its own over time. But sometimes our bodies need help with their healing process. That’s where our Naturopathic Doctors play a role. They’ll work with you one-on-one to help identify the underlying root cause of your symptoms and then use a combination of natural therapeutic modalities such as botanical medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, cupping, eastern medicine, along with a thorough evaluation of several lifestyle factors, in order to manifest your body’s natural healing powers to make you feel well again.

Bottom line, we believe that your body knows best and we’re here to support it.

Osteopathy

We like to think of osteopathy as manual magic! This hands-on modality is based on the idea that all of the body’s systems are interrelated and considers the whole person, rather than just their pain. By working with the interrelated systems and functions of the body, osteopathy can return the body to normal health so it can self-heal and self-regulate. Our osteopaths use a personalized mix...

By working with the interrelated systems and functions of the body, osteopathy can return the body to normal health so it can self-heal and self-regulate.

Our osteopaths use a personalized mix of approaches (ie. cranial, visceral, musculoskeletal, lymphatic, vascular, etc.) and work with the body's fascia (the connected tissue in your body that holds us together!) to find restrictions and reestablish mobility.

The pelvic floor is made up of layers of muscles which work to support our abdominal and pelvic organs, help in bladder, bowel, and sexual function, and make up part of our “core”. A pelvic floor (or pelvic health) physiotherapist is a Registered Physiotherapist with specialized training to treat these specific muscles. We work with you to prepare the pelvic floor for labour + delivery, to restore function and strength after birth, and to achieve your specific goals. We love empowering and educating women on what to expect during pregnancy and beyond. Pelvic floor physiotherapists are trained to work patients through all walks of life who may be experiencing some kind of pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti, constipation, and pelvic pain. Please note: These sessions will be held virtually using a secure video platform.

Pessary Fitting

A pessary is a gentle, non-surgical option for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence symptoms. It is a small device, similar to a tampon, that inserts into the vagina to help support the vaginal wall, lift the bladder, rectum and/or uterus. The goal? To make you feel lighter - relieving pressure and heaviness and giving you the comfortable ease you deserve.

Amber Watkins
(She/Her/Hers) PT

Amber is one of those people who was meant to work in healthcare. As a child, she was dubbed “Nurse Amber” since she was always armed with a first aid kit, ready to help anyone who needed it. Sports played a big part in her life growing up, and she remained active as she grew older.

This personal connection to health and fitness is what led Amber to become a pelvic health physiotherapist.

She also works with patients experiencing painful intercourse and individuals with chronic pelvic pain, including endometriosis.

Amber loves helping women prepare for childbirth, whether it is a vaginal delivery or cesarean. She helps women in their postpartum period by guiding them through recovery exercises, including treatment for diastasis rectus abdominus, and ultimately helps navigate a safe return to pre-pregnancy activity levels.

Amber also feels that educating women throughout their perimenopause and postmenopausal journey is so important. She helps to address any genitourinary symptoms of menopause, and can help with preventative exercises for anyone who loves to be prepared!

Amber uses a trauma-informed approach when treating patients, providing a safe and judgement-free environment for patients to express their history and triggers to take the steps towards healing.

Amber strongly believes that understanding one’s history is the key to a successful recovery, which is why her treatment approach includes a ton of education, as well as exercise guidance, manual therapies and dry needling/acupuncture as needed.
