I am very excited for my first Family Day! Most of my family is back in BC where we aren't lucky enough to have a holiday in February. So to celebrate, I'm heading down to the Funatorium Explorium in Ottawa!
You might be thinking I'm a bit old for lego and magicians (even though all activities are designed for children ages 4-99 and I'm definitely in that category). I'm going not only to have FUN but also to share information about family healthcare.
I am a Family Naturopathic Doctor and I love working with kids! I believe it is important to share information about safe and natural healthcare for children. Teaching kids healthy choices provides a foundation of health for life. Addressing health concerns at a young age prevents future illness. Kids respond very well to natural medicines as well as diet and lifestyle adaptations.
I work with children of all ages and health concerns. My philosophy of medicine is to treat the person rather than the illness by building a personalized treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of disease. The goal is to improve the overall health of the body to heal itself. However, I also address specific health concerns in children including asthma, allergies, skin problems such as eczema, rashes and acne, headaches and migraines, digestive problems such as diarrhea and constipation, colds and influenza, frequent illness, ear infections, teething troubles and behavioral problems.
I also work with families as they prepare to expand. I provide preconception care, natural fertility treatment and pregnancy support to help children enter the world as healthy as possible. I also support new Moms with concerns such as healthy milk production, food introduction and postpartum depression. My goal is to support the optimal health of you and your family.
With my toy stethoscope and doctor kit in hand, I'm heading down to the Funatorium Explorium for Family Day. If you are around, please drop by to our Sage Wellness booth and say hi! We've got lots of great samples and prizes to share. Also, we have a special treat for parents. Enrique, Andrea and Christine from our clinic will be giving massages.
Happy Family Day to Everyone! Even if you don't have the day off, spending time with your loved ones makes every day Family Day.
In Wellness,
Dr. Heather
