Bowen Therapy:
Bowen Therapy is a gentle and dynamic form of soft tissue manipulation that works on the muscles, nerves and connective tissues. It aims to bring the body back into a state of physical, chemical, emotional and mental balance. It is safe to use on anyone from newborns to the elderly and is profound in its actions producing lasting relief from pain, discomfort and imbalance that may be blocking an individual from healing.

BiotherapeuticDrainage:
Combination homeopathic remedies are used to gently open the body's elimination pathways and expet accumulated toxins. This allows to body to return to a greater state of functioning.

Constitutional Hydrotherapy:
From days of Nature Cure, this therapy was developed by an ND in Spokane, WA. The application of alternating hot and cold towels, plus muscle stimulation helps strengthen immume defences, detoxify, improve digestion, and tonify the body.

Far Infrared Sauna
Infrared rays penetrate one and a half inches into your skin, stimulating your body and kick starting the detoxification (sweating) process. This process takes place at a much more comfortable and safe temperature, making the sauna more tolerable for people sensitive to the burning heat of a traditional sauna. After taking a far infrared sauna, many people report an increase in their general sense of well being. Still others report that their skin ailments feel and look better. Medically proven results for detoxification, cancer prevention, heart disease, asthma, chronic pain relief, breast health, fibromyalgia, weight loss, improved skin tone, removes mercury, removes chlorinated pesticides.

NAET - (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques):
NAET recognizes that allergies to foods or environmental substances, when undiagnosed and untreated, will lead to a decline in health. NAET combines kinesiology, acupressure, and nutrition to identify and treat allergies in a proven sequence. Allergies are treated and cleared one at a time. Each allergen must be avoided for only 25 hours, and often requires only one treatment. NAET compliments our current naturopathic approaches of elimination diets and cleansing. Please ask for more details.

Facial Rejuvenation:
Also known as cosmetic acupuncture, is a non-surgical method of reducing the signs of aging. Specialized techniques are used to increase blood circulation to the face and promote collagen production and enhanced muscle tone and tightening of the facial tissue, for a healthier and more youthful appearance of the skin.

Peat Therapy:
This type of therapy has been used successfully in Eastern Europe for hundreds of years. Baths or direct application of the peat can be used to treat musculosketetal problems, skin disorders, & gynaecologic complaints.

Laser Acupuncture:
Needle free and painless, ideal for inflammation.

Vega Testing:
The Vega Test is classified by the BDDT - Naturopathy (i.e. Ontario Naturopathic Regulatory Board) as an Experimental/Research system. It has demonstrated clinical efficiency for over 30 to 35 years, representing the refinement of the original research and clinical trials of Dr. Voll, a German physician and dentist. Eelectroacupuncture test methods uses a small probe to test the electrical conductivity of selected points along the body's acupuncture meridians. Values above or below a normal base line value indicate the increased or decreased function of the organ associated with that meridian (e.g. Gall bladder, liver, etc.). In the course of researching these bioenergetic regulatory processes, it was discovered that simply touching the skin with a given substance is enough to change the skin resistance measurement. Technical innovations and new insight have led to modifications over the years that now permit testing at one acupuncture point. The current Vega Test system requires the practitioner to test either your hand or foot while you hold an electrode. The test instrument measures the electrical conductivity of your skin as it is influenced by ampoules placed in the circuit, or that have been stored electronically in the system. These ampoules help to assess the function of various organs, detect the relative sensitivity to various food substances or other allergens, or the presence of various infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, parasites) or heavy metals.
