Question 2

What type of therapies do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Acupressure Techniques: A gentle, non-invasive method that applies light pressure to specific points on the body to support energy flow, reduce tension, and promote natural healing.

BodyTalk (Energy Medicine): BodyTalk is a powerful energy healing system that uncovers the energetic blockages, emotional imprints, and stress patterns stored in your body that are preventing you from healing and feeling your absolute best. Through muscle testing, and energy balancing techniques, each session is uniquely designed to what your body needs in the moment. This healing system is rooted in the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine and the very latest in Quantum science.

Dietary modifications: Personalized adjustments to your diet based on your unique needs, taking into consideration your food sensitivities, age, gender, activity levels, stress levels, genetics, and more. The right diet approach will help reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and optimize nutrient intake, and support overall healing.

Epigenetics: Epigenetic balancing involves modulating the chemical marks on your DNA—such as methylation and acetylation—to promote healthy gene expression without altering the underlying genetic code. This holistic strategy leverages lifestyle choices, nutrition, stress management, and targeted supplements to “reset” or optimize these epigenetic modifications, aiming to improve overall health, prevent disease, and support wellness at a molecular level.

Lifestyle Modifications: A holistic approach to lifestyle modifications is an integrative strategy that simultaneously addresses all aspects of daily living—such as nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, and social connections—to support long-term overall well-being. By recognizing that physical, mental, and emotional health are deeply interconnected, this approach promotes sustainable, personalized changes that help prevent disease and enhance quality of life.

Microbiome Balancing: Microbiome balancing is a comprehensive strategy that addresses diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors to restore and maintain a diverse, healthy microbial ecosystem. This method focuses on treating the root causes of imbalance—such as poor nutrition, chronic stress, and environmental toxins—rather than just alleviating symptoms, thereby promoting overall digestive, immune, and mental well-being.

Mind-Body Techniques: Techniques designed to help uncover and release the emotional and mental patterns that may be contributing to physical symptoms, promoting deep healing.

Nervous System Regulation Techniques: Hands-on and mind-body methods that calm an overactive nervous system, supporting better stress response, digestion, sleep, and emotional resilience.

Orthomolecular Nutrition: The science of using targeted doses of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. This approach helps restore biochemical balance and optimize your body’s natural healing processes. Protocols may be used to support detoxification, immune balancing, nutritional deficiencies, mitochondrial health, anti-aging, hormonal balance, etc.

Photobiomodulation: Every cell in your body emits a unique electromagnetic signature in the form of biophotons that can be measured in wavelengths. These biophotons play an important role in maintaining the health of the cell. When these biophotonic (light) emissions become incoherent, it indicates that the cell is under stress. Biophotonic emissions are an important biomarker that allows us to identify areas and patterns of stress in the body. A variety of therpaies can then be used to restore balance in those areas, including photobiomodulation, a gentle therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light (colour) to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and support tissue healing and energy production.

Question 3

What is muscle testing?

Accepted Answer

Muscle testing, is a technique used in holistic medicine to assess the body’s state of health and imbalances at a physical, emotional, and energetic level.

How Does it Work?
It involves gently applying pressure to a muscle, testing its response to stimuli such as foods, supplements, neurological reflexes, or emotional factors.

A strong or weak reaction  indicates a positive or negative result to what is being tested. It can be used to identify underlying causes for a health issue and also the best course of treatment in order of priority. It’s a non-invasive way to tap into the body’s innate wisdom for healing.
 
Where Did it Come From?
Muscle testing was developed in the 1960s by Dr. George Goodheart, a chiropractor who combined concepts from Chinese medicine, biomechanics, and nutrition. He believed that muscle weakness could be linked to specific organs or systems in the body, and that testing muscles could help diagnose underlying imbalances.

Who Uses It?
Practitioners of holistic and alternative medicine, including chiropractors, naturopaths, acupuncturists, and energy healers, commonly use muscle testing. It’s also sometimes used by nutritionists or wellness coaches to guide dietary or supplement recommendations. Having been in use for over 60 years, there is a strong scientific basis for muscle testing and its clinical applications.

Question 5

How are you different from a Dietician, Naturopath, or other Nutritionists?

Accepted Answer

Dieticians, Naturopaths, and Nutritionists are all very different. 
Dieticians:
 • Work within conventional healthcare systems often in conjunction with pharmaceutical/surgical interventions. 
 • Their recommendations are often shaped by public health guidelines (i.e., the Canadian food guide) and include processed or fortified foods.
 • Dieticians don't generally believe that it's possible to heal from chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, IBS, etc. Therefore, their focus is primarily on symptom management using standardized diet protocols (rather than treating the root causes of disease). 
 • There is minimal emphasis on the use of supplementation to correct underlying deficiencies or to support the healing process.

Nutritionists:
 • Take a natural, whole-body approach to nutrition.
 • Focuses on preventing illness and optimizing health by addressing diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
 • Recommends unprocessed, organic, or natural foods and may integrate supplements or alternative therapies.

Naturopaths:
 • Takes a whole-person, natural approach to health.
 • Focuses on treating the root cause of illness, not just symptoms.
 • Combines modern science with traditional therapies, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, physical medicine, and lifestyle counseling.
 • May use diagnostic tools like blood tests, food sensitivity panels, or imaging.

How we are different:
In short, our scope of practice is much more comprehensive and is focussed on a whole body approach that treats the root causes of disease. No matter what the diagnostic label, our focus is on supporting the body's innate regulatory mechanisms so it can heal and repair itself, and not merely suppress symptoms.

We incorporate the latest advancements in:

Applied Kinesiology
Chiropractic & Osteopathic Medicine
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Orthomolecular Nutrition (Nutritional Science)
Quantum and Energy Based Medicine
Psychotherapy & Counselling

We are also experts in the use of muscle testing as a tool to measure numerous health metrics: Structural alignment of the joints, nutritional deficiencies, food/environmental sensitivities, organ toxicity, pathogenetic activity, genetic weaknesses, nervous system balance, stored emotional trauma, energetic blockages, and more.
