Meet Your Team

Naturopathic Doctor

Dr. Elaine Lewis

"I love being entrusted with my patients’ stories, their life goals, and their innermost fears. It honours me to help people see their own potential, as it starts with their health and bodies, and grows to their sense of self and inner confidence. When patients walk into my office, they often cannot see the light at the end of their health tunnel, and what I love is being able to hold a metaphorical flashlight for them and provide them the education and empowerment to create the health and body they desire."

Chiropractic Doctor

Dr. Yaad Shergill

"I love being able to show people what their bodies and minds are capable of. The connection between the mind and body is extremely powerful and when this is understood, profound changes take place within us. There are so many misconceptions about pain, specifically back pain out there, and being able to unravel some of these myths is very rewarding. I believe that through proper movement in your body and mind, you can achieve optimal health, well-being and increased productivity. That means when you move well and think well, and LIVE WELL."

Registered Dietitian

Norine Khalil

"Nutrition is more than what you eat, it is connected to our social, emotional and physical wellbeing. I believed that understanding a person’s relationship with food is the first step to change. I’ve always said nutrition is not necessarily my true passion - connection is my passion. Nutrition is a gateway to connection, and I love that my career and education have afforded me the opportunity to connect with so many different people in such a meaningful way. I can truly say that my path in nutrition and dietetics has been the most rewarding aspect of my life thus far, and I love that I am able to connect, educate, and learn with my patients each and every day. "

Psychotherapist

Sim Shergill

"There are 7.5 billion people in this world. We all observe and behave in this world differently. These differences lead to unique experiences of the world. From the day we are born, we are constantly learning through direct and indirect experiences. How we internalize these experiences can lead to different psychological states such as happiness or sadness. I feel that as a psychotherapist, my role is to help you be the gardener in your life. To help lay the foundation for thoughts, feelings and behaviour that are helpful towards achieving your life purpose. As the gardener, a psychotherapist can help others grow and become resilient under changing circumstances."

Psychotherapist

Krystle Pierre

"The most rewarding part about the process are the “ah-ha” moments that I get to experience with the individuals I work with. This moment can be because of a changed perspective of a challenge, new knowledge about the underlying factors contributing to their issues or the introduction of important coping mechanisms. Clients have described this as a “lightness” or “weight lifted.” After working with clients, hearing their stories, unpacking their challenges there comes a moment where there is a mental, physical and spiritual shift in the way they experience the world, their relationships and most importantly themselves."

Social Worker

Hira Sandhu

"My hope is to be a safe and supportive person for individuals who are seeking help. I strive towards helping individuals gain greater self-awareness, emotional intelligence, develop coping strategies, and build healthier relationships with themselves, and others. I intend to ensure that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered."
