Bowel health is important…read more.. Yup, I said it! Don't worry i'll keep the poop jokes to a minimum. Within the last year, i've come to realize that we are no longer eating food, but instead eating "food like" products and i've taken steps to drastically improve my health. I've been making my own green juice and smoothies and go to great lengths to minimize the amount of animal protein in my food... I still eat meat, but try and avoid eating it at EVERY meal like most of us do. I've also removed processed foods, milk and a good deal of dairy and only eat gluten when my girlfriend isn't looking. With my new health regimen in full effect, I realized that it was important to control what was going into my body, but it was equally as important to control what was coming out of it. Some terrible diseases (Cancer among them) can stem from poor liver, kidney and bowel function, so what did I do to combat this??? I booked a Colonic! Veronica Ladd owns and runs Body Cleansing Systems and let me assure you... she is a consumate professional. When I entered the office, I took notice of how clean it was - obviously important considering her type of business. She took great lengths to get my medical and mental health history as well as my eating habits. She is very discreet and even provided me with a pair of disposable paper shorts that made me look like I was a Thai Kick-Boxer in a Clown Circus, "One size fits most". The process, which I was sure would make me feel 'violated'... - I am a guy after all -, only caused me mild discomfort. There was soothing music playing in the background to relax me, and thankfully no scented candles. I was tempted to play Candy Crush on my phone, but oddly thought that might be considered rude, lol. Veronica is a great conversationalist and was able to provide me different tips and tricks for alternative and herbal remedies. Oh and by the way... I weighed myself the next morning and had lost 7 pounds! That's how effective the process was for me. (results may vary for others). I will return when the times calls for it, and suggest it to anyone looking to improve their bowel health. I hope you enjoyed my review. =)

I've been coming to see Veronica for almost two years and I have to say, she is fantastic! She is…read moretruly professional. Not only is she great at what she does, but she's also VERY knowledgeable! I think everyone should get colon hydrotherapy done at least once a year as the foods we eat nowadays are not necessarily healthy. You'll feel great after having a colonic or colon hydrotherapy! Do it! Just make sure you book in advance ---that's how great she is.

After multiple abdominal surgeries and mishaps, I was suffering 24/7. It was suggested I see Bruce Bonner, and after hearing him speak, I decided to give it a try. Bruce has an extensive library of cutting-edge technologies, and he uses the latest computerized evaluation, to provide you with more information and a plan to correct your specific issues. I am now being treated with PEMF technologies and colour therapy along with other modalities, which has changed my quality of life. Bruce understands the roller coaster that is living with digestive problems, and that is why he became a nutritionist. He's number #1 in my book!

FINAL VERDICT: Third…read moreand last review for Studio One. As promised, a word on effectiveness and results: In the course of the 2 months and 15 sessions I had, I would say I didn't really get the results I expected. I feel more fit and that's priceless but I didn't see a weight loss (in fact I saw a significant gain) Overall I didn't feel I was always pushed hard enough. Compared to other trainer sessions I've had (traditional and boxing), this was the least positive result-wise, even after adjustments to my diet and sleep hygiene. I can only guess that this had something to do with a slow start and lack of cardio-intensive workouts. But for the money paid, this is disappointing. I either have to consider more sessions or a different approach to my fitness goals. So while my trainer was fabulous and a guy I hold in high esteem, the Studio One services didn't meet my expectations. Disclaimer- I am a yelper so keep in mind that with a less forgiving/more disciplined diet, you might be able to take better advantage of sessions at Studio One.

A few months ago I was shopping around for a personal trainer to help me out with some…read moresport-specific goals (I'm a dragon boat paddler). I brought those goals to Craig, the owner at Studio One, who set me up with a weekly session with Josh, one of the trainers there. I've been paddling for 15 years, and this is the strongest off-season I've ever had. I know I owe a lot of that to Josh's help. Notably, I find that I am able to give feedback, or to let him know if I'm plateauing/injured/etc., and he is very good at making adjustments in the workouts. He also takes my dragon boat off-season training plan into account, which is not something that a lot of other studios were willing to do. I find the rates to be reasonable, and the Beechwood location is convenient to where I live, so no complaints there. Sometimes I have to shift around my appointment time to accommodate my work schedule, and Josh is always amenable to that. This is a boutique studio, which I prefer. It means there aren't any strangers or meatheads watching you work out. There's not really much cardio equipment, but I would hate to go there and just do cardio (srsly, I can do that on my own). Most importantly, everyone at Studio One is super nice. I never feel judged when I'm there, and when I'm not feeling very strong they're very motivating. As with anything related to fitness you're only going to get out as much as you put in, and I feel like Studio One and Josh really help to make sure that I've got all the tools I need to do that for myself.

I visited Santé Chiropractic and Wellness Centre for the first time today. I am so glad that I did!…read more Dr. Gabrielle Pomerleau literally stopped years of back pain during my first visit! I had chronic thoracic pain, a throbbing that was constant, for about a year and a half. I have tried many months of massage therapy but the pain would always return, so it was clearly something more than just muscle pain. Dr. Pomerleau was very attentive to my concerns and my needs. She used manual manipulation, massage, and a spinal Activator to help me during my visit. I cannot wait to return and have already booked my follow-up appointment to keep my back feeling good and limber! Front end staff are very professional and friendly too!

I came to see Dr. Nathalie when I was five months postpartum with chronic migraines, fibromyalgia…read moreand general aches and pains post-baby. I was skeptical, as I had never tried Chiropractic care, but after trying acupuncture, massage and physio, I needed something different. I immediately felt welcome at my assment when Dr. Nathalie greeted me and asked her assistant to hold my baby - so helpful and kind! We came up with a plan for care, and after two months of treatment I have noticed an absolutely amazing decrease in pain. I am sleeping better, and have more energy. Dr. Nathalie is exceptional at her job, and I love listening to her #HackYourHealth podcast while waiting. The office staff are warm and inviting, and I love the ability to schedule appointments online, especially the same day if needed. I am always blown away when Dr. Nathalie remembers details about my personal life, as she sees so many patients, and it even though adjustments are super fast, she always makes me feel like I am a valued client and that she genuinely cares about mt health. If you are looking to improve your quality of life and health overall, I urge you to visit Dr. Nathalie ASAP. Particularly if you suffer from fibromyalgia, or postpartum pain. Thanks to Dr. Nathalie and the staff for your care (and always having warm tea!).

I love Dr. Marc St. Denis! He is a natural healer. His seems to know exactly what needs healing…read morewith a touch and sense of the area. I have been seeing him for over a year now. After having initial tests using all kinds of upto date equipment Dr. Marc explained exactly what and how he would treat me and than he proceeded with the plan. After so many adjustments, Dr. Marc tested me again and checked in with me to see about my progress and than he adjusted the treatments as needed. He is a great listener and always has supportive words or a hug when I am in pain. While waiting to see Dr. Marc i have seen other clients come to see the massage therapist, the nutritional specialist, or have colon cleansing. I have also had reiki treatments with Valerie St. Denis which were so so relaxing. Jose at reception is always happy and positive to see me and very helpful when I have needed help. I would highly recommend Dr. Marc and his clinic. Maria V.L.

I was very skeptical at first that changing her food would help (and there aren't many doctors who would prescribe a non-medicated approach), but it REALLY worked.

I was worried about the treatment but since its doctor led clinic I was very comfortable. Dr. Maghera is very knowledgeable and explained everything thoroughly.

I also did botox and hair PRF treatments and have seen amazing results! I would highly recommend this clinic.
