Call To Action
You may have heard that the government is trying to increase fees for the production and development of supplements. If this bill passes public access to supplements will decrease and the public cost of supplements will increase. This isn’t just in a naturopathic clinic, this will include Amazon, health food stores, the grocery store, and drug stores too. Please consider signing this letter and sending it to your MP by August 10.
At Natural Choices Health Care, we provide safe and effective treatments for people who are looking to take control of their health and those who have been unable to find relief through the more conventional health care routes.
This includes access to a variety of services such as Naturopathic Medicine and Massage Therapy, each one focused on providing you with the tools to reclaim your personal health.

Our Services
Massage Therapy
Fortunately in the world of massage therapy there are many different styles and approaches and many practitioners who specialize. So a couple of styles that are different are sports massage-quite vigourous deep tissue- performance oriented and spa day soothing, light- music,oils, wraps scrubs -spoiling yourself oriented.
Monica’s style is different again. She has an integrated therapeutic approach focused on the facilitation of healing in a client’s body, mind and spirit. She provides individualized treatments to optimally support a client gain their healing goals. Most clients remain clothed. She does not use oils. She likes clients to be warm and comfortable on the treatment table with pillows and blankets.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic Medicine is a system of medicine that understands that the body has the ability to heal itself if given the proper environment.
It uses a mixture of both ancient and modern diagnostic techniques to piece together a person’s situation and to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. These techniques include: thorough patient history and physical examination, blood work, special laboratory testing, Chinese tongue and pulse diagnosis, homeopathic intake, orthopedic testing, and more.
ND’s specialize in prevention and treatment of both acute and chronic illness using non-invasive treatment modalities and life management.
Treatment is very individualized and can consist of dietary counseling, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, homeopathy and supplementation.
