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.

Pandemic Fatigue
Well, 2021 is here and COVID is still at the top of our minds. We are so very lucky in Nova Scotia and I am grateful for that. However, many of us are starting to experience pandemic fatigue – which is more challenging to manage during the dark months of winter. What...
Reflections on COVID-19
As we slowly see new COVID cases rising I’ve been reflecting on how COVID has changed the way we live our lives. The impact is huge on our mental and physical health but many of us are minimizing how we feel because we realize that others always have it worse. Despite...
How Are You Feeling?
I hope that when you come in to see me in the clinic it is obvious that I absolutely LOVE what I do. I would never do anything else and cannot believe that I graduated 14 years ago. With everything that has been happening in the world, I have been reflecting on my...
Naturopathic Medicine in Our Current Reality
Many of your lives have been turned upside down with our current global pandemic. I’m in the same boat so I understand some of what you are feeling. We will all respond to the world’s events differently. Remember that there is no “right” way to respond. We haven’t...
Your Guide To Blood work
When was the last time you got your blood work done? For many, it is within the last year. For others it is in the last 2 years. For others it is longer or not at all. When was the last time you saw your bloodwork? The actual numbers? For most, it is usual to not get...
As the Winter Approaches
One of the main questions I am getting in my office lately is about Vitamin D. So many of us notice the shorter days and our first thought is to take Vitamin D. We should be taking Vitamin D year round, even in the summer, but it is especially important this time of...
How to Approach Intolerances as a Lifestyle Change
So many of my readers have done the Carroll Food Intolerance test. It’s a test that tells you what your body can’t process properly. If you eat too much of that food then your system reacts in ways that are unpleasant. Initially, I suggest or ask that you remove the...
Things I Am Supposed To Love
Anyone who knows me well knows that I do not conform to trends. I like what I like and it often takes me a long time to pick up a trend (especially if it is technology). This isn’t the same in practice, I love to research and stay on top of the latest things. But in...
Why Me, MT?
Why do I treat differently than other massage therapists? I have been asked this question many times. One part of the answer is that massage therapy is a wonderfully diverse profession. Therapists can follow their interests in continuing education. They can focus...
Skin
Your skin is your largest organ. It is also one of your main modes of detoxification along with the liver, kidneys and lymphatic system. Is it any wonder that we are always struggling for clear, healthy skin? Many suffer with acne, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. Many...
