Fantastic, I recommend a Dr. Jones retreat to anyone eligible and who wants to dramatically improve…read moretheir health and get serious about it, including an improvement in their waistline. My husband and I attended a 3 day "Intro to Fasting" retreat with Dr. Ariel Jones. I learned so much about fasting, much more than I could have on any of those online forums (they really are repeating some misinformation there.) A three day fasting retreat is a week, because the equally crucial parts of the fasting is preparation and BREAKING the fast (hence the word breakfast! It does not mean the morning meal full of sugar!) We were given strict instructions of what to eat and not eat before the fast, and even more important instructions for after the fast, for which she was present for the first few days and we had directions to take home. One only has to look into Re-Feeding Syndrome and realize how crucial it is you have an experienced fasting literate doctor at your side helping you re introduce foods safely and slowly, with follow up with the doctor afterwards. I cannot say this enough - It matters how you break your fast, with what foods, and how slowly, so yes BREAK FAST really is the most important meal. Just so happens we break fast after sleeping every day usually in the morning. On the first day, we were welcomed warmly into a lovely home Dr Jones secured for the group. On the green juice days that sandwiched the fasting days, we enjoyed amazing nutrition from K+I juices which were organic and not diluted, just pure. On fast days we were treated to yoga by an absolutely lovely and charming lady named Cedar Sorensen, we were shown how to do enemas daily to get bile moving and remove toxins that can cause nausea (which NOBODY discusses in the forums!), daily meditation, daily meet ups for group discussions about our revelations and share what we are going through, demonstrations on how to make sprouts and raw probiotic sauerkraut with explanations about their importance and benefits, and some optional services were available if we wanted buy those (acupuncture by Dr Jones herself, massage by Kim, colonics by The Healthy Colon - shout out to Tammy!). Another amazing thing was having a special interactive discussion and exercise facilitated by a wonderful lady name Julia who had us dig deep and ask ourselves some big questions, discover some revelations and become aware of obstacles to our own happiness in life. At night we had some time to watch some lectures as a group about fasting, and have some group chats, otherwise the week was packed! We were not sitting bored on our phones that's for sure. Dr. Jones monitored us with blood testing before and after, daily check up of vitals. She shared amazing knowledge about fasting, autophagy, the healing benefits and was there to discuss any questions we had about the most personal things. She counselled us through all things physical and emotional. On the second last day, went to the grocery store together to buy items we would need for a special healing concoction we would be having during the reintroduction phase and taught us how to make it so we could do it at home. That night, she took us around the backyard, neighbourhood, and local park to teach us about the local plant medicines. our last night it was especially lovely as we caught the sunset in a beautiful park that was also a Garry Oak sanctuary. The last day we had a touching closing ceremony and said our goodbyes, healthier, lighter, and amazed at our mental strength, and very grateful for the knowledge, experience and Dr. Jones' genuine desire to help us live our best and healthiest lives. I have come out it having all the benefits promised and surprised myself with my mental toughness. I have also reset my cravings and appetite, something I always struggled with. I don't think I can put into words how much I've... EVOLVED with this retreated. It's just taken me to another level. All from one week. Dr Jones even continued to help me in particular after wards as I had some special circumstances, an extremely kind and generous person. Dr. Jones is smart, caring, knowledgeable about many areas of health, and passionate about what she does. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get into the world of fasting in a safe and supervised setting, especially if you're on medication or have other health concerns. As opposed to going on yet another indulgent trip full of booze, wine, shopping, and who knows what else you get into, why not go on a trip where you actually come back healthier, stronger, lighter and proud of yourself?

Dr Janelle Doolittle is one of the best doctors our family has had. She is exactly what you would…read morehope a Naturopathic would be. She listens, does not rush the appointment, and you feel that she truly cares about your health and well being. My kids never complain about going to the Dr when it's Dr. Doolittle.

I could not recommend her more highly!

I had never been to a Naturopath before, but was having recurring sinus infections and was…read morefrustrated at always being on antibiotics. I found Dr. Komonski through Yelp, and honestly, before my first appointment, was a tiny bit skeptical. Anita is approachable and a great listener. After my first visit I felt confident I was in good hands. Now after a few weeks, I feel healthier than I've been in months. My energy is great, no sinus pressure and have eliminated coffee and yet don't feel tired and sluggish. My wife starts to see her next week, after seeing how good I feel and the weight I've lost by eating so much healthier. I am entirely impressed and thankful. I recommend Anita Komonski highly.

After scouring different ND's bios online, I settled on Dr Komonski. I had my first appointment yesterday, and I'm already looking forward to a long-term interaction with her. She was friendly, listened attentively and was a real fountain of interesting (and useful!) information regarding my health issues. I left there with a concrete idea of the next steps required of me, as well as some extra recommendations. Feeling supported and well-directed has eliminated much of the stress related to my health, even before any of the steps have been taken! As an added bonus, she's a clinical hypnotherapist. I've been curious about that branch of healing for a long time, and had never found anyone that I felt comfortable trying it with; now I can't wait to book my first hypnotherapy appointment with Anita. Off to a very strong start :) I've already recommended her to my best friend, and I will continue to do so to anyone I meet who's looking for a great ND.

The stagnant and stationary…read morelife style that I had put myself through over the six year period of graduate school, coupled with the high abuse of tobacco and alcohol, as well as the stressful life of as a graduate student had rendered my body in a condition of toxin overload. At the time when I started my treatment, I suffered from anxiety, chronic fatigue, stress, neck and back pain and digestive issues and severe eczema. I began to notice a change in my health after my second treatment. Through the use of acupuncture, Dr. Hamid managed to bring under control my back pain, digestive issues and helped me with smoking cessation. Through the use of TCM herbs and formulas, he got my anxiety and stress under control. With adjustments and his Bowen massage therapies he healed my back and rejuvenated my spine. Finally, his homeopathic remedies have completely solved my hand eczema and food allergies, something that my conventional MD was incapable of doing with his steroid creams. I highly recommend this highly knowledgeable and creative healer.

This past week, my iud had been somewhat dislodged and I was experiencing contractions so I had to see someone to get this figured out. I was going to try going to a nearby medical clinic, as it was Saturday, but realized most doctors at clinics wouldn't want to investigate my situation as I'm on my period, and most probably wouldn't even have the experience or know-how to be able to help me at all. So I made an appointment with Dr. Kennett, who I know and trust and who has experience with this sort of thing and she was amazing at making me feel better and in the end, by removing my iud. I would highly recommend her for this type or any other type of visit. She is efficient, knowledgeable, experienced and wonderful to have as your dr.

I keep coming back as a loyal patient because Jolene's approach is the ultimate balance of professionalism, compassion and an enthusiasm for her work, as well as deep knowledge. She is a walking encyclopedia, and she conveys her wisdom and intellect through the lens of someone who really, truly cares and exhibits great passion for what she does. She has changed the way I see my health, and I will continue to see her because I enjoy her insight and her energy so much. I have learned a great deal from this amazing woman. She is unabashedly honest but always respectful, humble, and non-judgemental. For breast exams and pap smears, no one comes close. I have major body image issues and Jolene is always efficient and professional while at the same time going out of her way to put her patients at ease. I cannot recommend her enough- my perspective on life and my body, and my health in general has changed drastically for the better since I met her. Jolene is a rare gem- a doctor who stands in a realm all her own.
