Therapies for Healing

How these therapies support healing

Healing rarely comes from one intervention alone. Each therapy supports a different aspect of recovery, allowing us to address both the biology and the lived experience of illness.

Brain Chemistry and Hormone Testing

Identifies underlying contributors such as hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation and digestive health that may be influencing symptoms.

Clinical Hypnotherapy, Mind Body Medicine

Works with subconscious patterns, emotional learning and nervous system regulation. Research supports its use for anxiety, chronic pain, IBS, trauma-related symptoms and behaviour change.

Bodywork

Nervous System Reset Sessions are hands-on sessions with massage, heat, essential oils, magnesium cream, cupping and acupuncture patterns designed for the nervous system - all combined to help bring the nervous system into parasympathetic dominance, deep rest, improve autonomic regulation and restore a greater sense of safety within the body.

IV Nutrient Therapy

Provides targeted, customized and high quality nutrients that may support energy production, neurological function, immune health and recovery when clinically appropriate.

Botanical & Nutritional Medicine

Supports neurotransmitter production, hormonal balance, mitochondrial function and healthy inflammatory pathways using evidence-informed nutrition and botanical medicine.

Bio-identical Hormones

When appropriate, supports mood, cognition, sleep, energy and quality of life throughout perimenopause and menopause.
