Chiropractic care
Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM is an ancient holistic healing system as well as a regulated health profession. It has been used for thousands of years to promote health and wellbeing. It uses a variety of modalities including acupuncture, tuina, gua sha, and cupping among others, to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind and spirit.
Massage therapy
Our registered massage therapy addresses a variety of conditions including back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, sprains and strains, lymphedema, and issues arising from pregnancy. After treatment self-care suggestions such as stretching and strengthening are given to support continued wellness.
Craniosacral therapy
Our craniosacral therapy, provided by an RMT, is a gentle approach to pain and tension and addresses imbalances in the body. The work is effective with a wide range of conditions and is very well suited to newborn needs.
Licensed Acupuncture
Our acupuncture is provided by a licensed chiropractor or our TCM practitioner and is useful in a variety of conditions as either a primary therapy or as an adjunctive therapy.
Scar Tissue Release Therapy
STRT uses low-level electrical impulses to stimulate cellular activity. It reduces and fades scar tissue, adhesions and restrictions.
Rosen Method Bodywork
Rosen Method Bodywork helps people reclaim their connection to their bodies and emotional selves through touch, sensing and feeling.
Counselling (Psychotherapy)
Psychotherapy is primarily a talk-based therapy and is intended to help people improve and maintain their mental health and well-being. The therapist and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client’s thinking, feeling, behaviour, and social functioning. Individuals usually seek psychotherapy when they have thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours that are adversely affecting their day-to-day lives, relationships and the ability to enjoy life. We also have practitioners who offer EMDR and matrix reimprinting (EFT/tapping) as supports for PTSD and trauma work.
Lactation and Infant Feeding Support
Our lactation and infant feeding support is provided by an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Sessions are individualized to support all families with their unique feeding goals, whether it’s chest or breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, weaning and/or introducing solid foods.
Prenatal Education
Our prenatal education sessions are provided by a certified Childbirth Educator, Doula, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Sessions can be run in both private or semi private formats. Topics include Birth Preparation, Postpartum and Baby Preparation and Lactation and Infant Feeding Preparation.
We recognize not everyone has the same experience when accessing care, and so we strive to ensure comfort and safety for our patients including those who identify as LGBTQ2+.
