TORONTO'S INTEGRATIVE WHOLE HEALTH CLINIC AND BOUTIQUE PILATES STUDIO
Naturopathic Medicine
The naturopathic philosophy addresses individual health from a holistic perspective—including mental, emotional, and spiritual health as well as the physical body—to promote whole-person healing. A naturopathic doctor uses a comprehensive health history, laboratory testing, and careful physical examinations to determine the root cause of a diagnosis. From there, they determine the natural therapies that will best enable the body to heal, while working collaboratively and thoughtfully with your other health care practitioners. The goal of a naturopathic doctor is to act as both doctor and teacher, working together with each patient to develop a treatment plan that meets their individual needs.

A naturopathic doctor may use a variety of modalities depending on each individual patient's needs. These may include custom botanical medicine prescribing, acupuncture, cupping, dietary supplements, nutritional & lifestyle counselling, and physical medicine including soft tissue & fascial work or pelvic floor physiotherapy.
Physical exams
Your naturopathic doctor may determine that physical examinations are indicated as part of your comprehensive health assessment.

COUPLES FERTILITY CONSULTATION
Fertility is dependant on both partners, and we address it this way! The goal of these appointments are to develop a comprehensive plan to optimize the fertility of both partners. We will discuss diet, lifestyle, and relevant health history, and lab testing may be recommended in order to gain a deeper understanding of each partner's health status. An invoice can be provided for both partners individually.
ADVANCED LAB TESTING
When appropriate, your naturopathic doctor may want to include diagnostic testing as part of your comprehensive health evaluation. This may include gathering information about your salivary and serum hormones, nutritional biomarkers, as well as environmental and food sensitivities. Additional laboratory testing is always optional. If you are interested, you may discuss which lab tests are indicated for you during your naturopathic consultation.
PELVIC HEALTH
Our naturopathic doctor is certified in Level 2 pelvic floor physical therapy, which may be indicated for anyone (male or female) who is struggling with chronic pelvic pain or incontinence. Pelvic floor therapy may also be beneficial for women in the perinatal phase of life, and may be used as a proactive therapy during pregnancy as well as for recovery purposes in the postpartum phase.
