Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary healthcare profession that focuses on treating the underlying cause of disease and illness through supporting the body's self-healing capabilities. Treatment plans encompass a blend of modern scientific research and traditional forms of healing that are individualized to reach each patient's health goals.
Plant medicines have been used by almost every culture throughout human history for medicinal purposes. Worldwide, many households use plant medicines on a regular basis to heal their family's ailments. This could be drinking a cup of chamomile tea to soothe a belly ache, essential oil of lavender rubbed on the temples to mend a headache, or a mustard poultice to treat a respiratory infection.
Pap testing is used to screen for the presence of abnormal cells in the cervix, which could indicate, or become, cervical cancer. This is an important screening tool for two main reasons. First, abnormal cells can be treated before they develop into cervical cancer. Second, the chance of survival from cervical cancer is more than 85%, if caught early.
Our telemedicine service allows you to speak to our naturopathic doctors via a secure video app. We are excited to offer this new service and hope you find it convenient and personal. This option supports social distancing and allows you to consult with our naturopathic doctors from the comfort of your home.

While Preet Khangura was an excellent ND to work with his office is disorganized and incompetent. Turn around time for messages take too long, confusion about supplements, and procedures on documentation/payment were different with each person. The final straw and why I stopped using this office was because the cost of my supplements went up 30% without notice or alternative.

I saw Dr Cashin around trying to reduce my cholesterol issues. After a heart attack 5 years ago, I was looking for natural ways to proceed without statins. I was also looking for ways to reduce some menopause issues. No answers for me - just felt she was not experienced, nor comfortable with these type of issues!

Had a great experience at Juniper Family Health with Dr. Chelsea Cole. She is very caring and full of knowledge. I addressed a few health issues, which none of the doctors in walk in clinic, would really care about. Dr. Cole took her time to listen, understand and offered the best treatment. I was very happy to find this Clinic and grateful for all the help. Sometimes it gets really-really hard to find a good doctor in Victoria.

My experience at Juniper Family Health has always been positive and I would highly recommend their services to anyone. Specifically I have found that Dr. van Drimmelen has brought me better health by approaching my wellness in a holistic manner, taking the time to consider my emotional and physical well-being.

Dr. Dawn is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and personable. I first saw her for back and neck pain and things eased up right away. She doesn't rush appointments and isn't pushy about coming in for long-term weekly appointments. I like that she uses a wide variety of techniques and teaches take-home therapeutic exercises. Overall she is very respectful, caring, and attentive. I now regularly see her for preventative monthly 'tune-up' appointments and I always look forward to them!

I wanted to say Thank you to Hayley Stobbs for my acupuncture treatment, I suffer from all year allergies so it was nice to get relief and to breath better after the session! I was nervous with my first session as I have a phobia of needles but it actually wasn't painful at all. Looking forward to more treatments! :)

Dr van Drimmelen has been amazing in my health journey. She is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. After years of frustration seeing traditional medical practitioners it has been such a relief to not only have Dr van Drimmelen find solutions to health issues but feel supported through the process.

Dr. Cashin diagnosed and successfully treated a long-standing, asymptomatic urinary tract infection I had. As well, the herb tincture that she created for me has been great in diminishing to nearly zero hot flashes that have bothered me since menopause (16 years ago!!) Both these treatments have helped for much improved night time sleep. I like the fact that Dr. Cashin spent quality time with me, learning about my health issues and talking through naturopathic treatment options. I look forward to our follow-up appointment in November.

My regular doctor told me I had IBS and to just take imodium when I had a flare-up and pretty much left me on my own. I heard great things about naturopathic medicine so I found my way to Dr. Cashin at Juniper Family Health. She took the time to go over my history and understand the issues I've been having and she told me about something called SIBO (which until now I hadn't read too much about, even with my IBS research online). I took a test and was so relieved. After three years of suffering, I finally knew why I was having so many issues (including fatigue). I've been in treatment
