Yoga, Pilates and Dance saved my life. That may seem dramatic to you, if you have yet to experience a moment in life where everything feels truly alive. Without yoga, pilates or dance I would be just a robot with a heartbeat. Yoga has given me time to reflect on and gain a better perspective of what really matters to me. Yoga has helped me discover that I should be less concerned with what I feel I 'should' do, and more concerned with what I really 'want' to do with my time.

Naturopathic Doctors are medical professionals who are trained in both modern medicine and alternative medicine. Each Doctor has completed an Undergraduate degree or Pre-Med level education, followed by a 4 year training program at a CNME accredited institution. The training involves standard medical training as well as specific training in alternative therapies such as nutrition, botanical medicine, spinal manipulation, oriental medicine, and homeopathy. Many Doctors will pursue further training in areas of special interest. Dr. Bastien for example, has done further training in Neural Therapy, Prolotherapy, Intravenous Therapy, and Pharmaceutical Therapy. Because of the varied training, your Naturopathic Physician can choose the best treatment option for your case.
The healing technologies of Self Regulation Therapy Neurofeedback and the principles of Network Spinal Analysis are used in combination to provide optimum health for your brain and nervous system.An impressive combination of neurological responses is orchestrated by the brain when dealing with stress or threat.
