Naturopathic Doctor

Naturopathic medicine is a form of primary health care that combines both conventional and natural medicine.

Naturopathic medicine is a form of primary health care that combines both conventional and natural medicine. The goal is to always determine the underlying cause of disease so that an individualized treatment plan can be created to meet the specific health needs of each patient. Naturopathic doctors view the body and mind as an interconnected network of systems. All assessments and treatment plans, therefore, focus on treating the whole person rather than just supporting one specific system. Most importantly, naturopathic doctors always strive to educate and empower patients so that they feel in control of their own health and can achieve their personal health goals.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a whole healing system that has been utilized for thousands of years to help bring our bodies into energetic balance and in turn promote healing and optimal functioning. Acupuncture is based on a system of energetic channels that run through the body like rivers, and when the energy or “qi” is flowing smoothly then the body is considered to be in a balanced and healthy state.

Acupuncture is a whole healing system that has been utilized for thousands of years to help bring our bodies into energetic balance and in turn promote healing and optimal functioning. Acupuncture is based on a system of energetic channels that run through the body like rivers, and when the energy or “qi” is flowing smoothly then the body is considered to be in a balanced and healthy state. As a trained and Registered Acupuncturist I will select a specific pattern of points to open these channels, to promote healing and to treat the root causes of what may be creating a variety of symptoms for the patient. That is the beautiful thing about this medicine, we do not focus on just one symptom at a time. Rather we want to look at the whole picture to try and treat what is at the root of causing all of these different symptoms to arise. Additionally treatments can include other modalities that will also support the body’s energetic function including cupping, gua sha or moxibustion.

Microneedling is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive collagen induction therapy that can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, pigmentation concerns, uneven skin texture, and more. This action is achieved by the SkinPen device through the use of sterilized micro needles to create tiny channels within the skin that initiates a 3-step process to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

At Humanity Wellness we chose to only use the most effective and safe treatments for our patients. For this very reason, we have selected the SkinPen Precision Device. Unlike many other microneedling devices on the market, SkinPen is a MEDICAL GRADE microneedling device that has been FDA and Health Canada Approved.
