When Rachel logged in for her Initial Consultation with her ND, she wasn't sure anything could help her. After explaining how she's been diagnosed with depression by her MD, her Naturopath asks her lots of questions to understand her full health picture and what may be contributing to her depression.
After looking at the lab work her MD originally ran, our ND also ordered thyroid and other hormone tests, and vitamin tests as well as explored inflammation. It turns out, that Rachel had a very underactive thyroid gland, insulin resistance as well as many nutrient deficiencies which may have been due to a lack of proper nutrition and digestion for many
Rachel's ND suggested she speak with her MD to properly treat her thyroid disorder and they put together a plan to help address the digestive system, nutrient deficiencies and insulin resistance. Nutrition changes, exercise and vitamin supplementation were part of the full plan.

Judy booked in to talk to us about her IBS symptoms. She complained about feeling bloated, uncomfortable and gassy most days. Her bowel movements were all over the map. Some days are hard to pass and other days very loose. She'd felt this way most of her adult life.
Our Naturopathic Doctor decided to run some specific tests to understand Judy's symptoms. They ordered a stool analysis which revealed high inflammation, yeast overgrowth and low levels of good bacteria. Blood work was done and Judy had a severe B12 and Vitamin D deficiency.
Since Judy noticed a connection between stress and her symptoms, her ND referred her to see a therapist and an energy healer. Herbal treatments, nutritional changes and supplementation was suggested to Judy and a 2-month follow-up appointment was booked.

I am so thankful to the amazing team at Healing House for delivering such quality care to our clients in 2021.
Ottawa Community Votes has given us a gold star this year and, as an entrepreneur, it’s akin to a pat on the back from your boss 😆.
I am very grateful for the clients who put their trust in us to witness their struggles, listen deeply and offer some solutions. It’s hard to reach out for help sometimes, especially when life is busy and it doesn’t feel like there’s time to take care of you.
This past year we’ve welcomed hundreds of new virtual clients and we’ve been honoured to support people though so many challenges. Infertility, anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic digestive issues, acne, autoimmune disorders and so much more.
We feel truly blessed to be a part of the Ottawa family and we want to say thank you for supporting a small business!!
❤️

Living in integrity allows us to literally feel lighter, have more freedom and drop the heavy weight of pretending. Being who we aren't in order to keep the peace actually robs you of yours.
On your journey to healing and wholeness notice where you can (with loads of self-compassion!) unburden yourself and allow aspects of who you really are to bubble up to the surface. Your body will thank you.
It is common sense that frequently moving our body is important for our health. The research is also clear - sitting is the new smoking.
The research suggests frequent movement (every 30 -60 mins, walk for 2 mins - go to the washroom, grab some water, chase your dog around the yard) improves circulation, lowers blood sugar and insulin.
All of these factors contribute to cardiovascular disease and this is the biggest health concern for women.
After 18 months of staying home more often - sitting on our couches and make-shift at-home offices I urge you to get yourself moving.
A standing desk is better but actually not the solution. You need to MOVE.
Dance it out 🕺
Plug your phone in another room across your house 📱
Set a reminder on your computer to get up. 🚨
Drink enough water that your bladder forces you to get up 🥤
Place your yoga mat on the floor of your office space as a visual reminder to stretch. 🧘🏼♂️
Taking care of your body can be a lot of work but you future self will thank you 🙏🏻

Creativity is such an important part of life. We are either consuming or creating. 🌟
It's great to have a balance.
It's easy to sit back and consume... and forget about your own unique expressions.
What is your mode of creativity? If it's not on the list write it in the comments to inspire me and everyone reading!

Who has been told that their exhaustion is just because of having kids or being a certain age? 🙋♀️
Have you left an appointment being told all of your numbers are 'just fine' but still feel like garbage and don't have a plan to feel better?
Maybe someone told you that you just need to got to bed earlier or lose weight. 🙄
Deep in your bones, something doesn't feel right. I get that. I've been there. I've been offered anti-depressants and birth control pills or sleeping pills in order to feel well. These weren't the answer. Doing more thorough testing into hormones, vitamins and inflammation markers were the answer.
It's not in your head and there are solutions.
