SaNDRA Milne RHN

Specialty: Registered Holistic Nutritionist (inflammation, gut issues, blood sugar balance, blood pressure balance, meal planning)

Sandra Milne is a proud graduate with merit of the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. She is a French-Canadian based out of Hamilton, Ontario and a nature lover in all its forms. Gardening, plant-based cooking, hiking and cuddles with her cat while reading about nutrition are some of her favorite activities. She is also a flight attendant who used to suffer from digestive issues. Bloating and feeling heavy was a daily struggle. She started following a vegetarian diet in 2016 and shifted towards veganism over the next year. In her experience, it felt like truly opening her eyes and her heart for the first time. Not only her physical health improved tremendously; she also acquired peace of mind because she was living by her values. At last, she was taking action against the unnecessary harm of animals and climate change. The connection between what she put in her body and how she felt was made. It feels so good that ever since, she has been wanting to share the abundance and multiple benefits of plant-based eating with others and guiding others in making that body-mind connection.

Daina Patel DC, CHIROPRACTOR

Specialty: Chronic Back Pain; Inflammation

Virtual-only services are available for anyone anywhere in Ontario. Helping you shift away from chronic back issues and into moving through your day with ease and confidence.

I use a holistic approach to getting rid of or managing chronic back pain. Chronic conditions require a multi-modal approach involving movement, lifestyle, and whole foods plant-based nutrition. My own journey dealing with chronic upper back pain led me down the path to learning what really works and I now use my own unique approach to help my patients reach their goals, whether that is managing the pain or aiming towards more pain-free days.

I don't use any temporary relief solutions such as chiropractic adjustments or tools like heat or TENS machines because they don't get to the root of what's causing your pain. Once we address the root cause, you will start to feel better and move with more ease and confidence through your day.

Furthermore, I have worked with physicians, researchers and organizations from numerous medical institutions, and with a medical education company collaborating with KOLs and clients, to successfully create educational content for medical professionals. Furthermore, I consult with medical writing companies and agencies to create and review medical communications and regulatory documents.

Linda Louise Warman, MSW RSW

Specialty: holistic approaches ~ marital therapy, wellness coaching. public speaking coaching

Allow me to tell you about my plant-based journey:

I initially changed to a plant-based diet out of self-interest: I sought to feel better. The change was successful. And then I realized after about 5 years of leaving off the eating of animals that my consciousness had changed along with my health. Eating only plants had caused me to care about animals. As I heard in a film a number of years ago: "There really is no polite way to take the life of a fellow creature."

So years later, when I returned to school to prepare for a career as a psychotherapist, my consciousness was holistic. And thus the professional practice I developed became so as well. I am passionate about supporting my patients in their pursuit of joy. And joy is more easily had when one feels well -- on all levels. As a mental health professional, I am clear about my conviction that sound mental health depends on a strong foundation of physical health. 

In addition I am particularly prepared to midwife my patients from suffering to making meaning of that suffering and ultimately arriving in some cases at a spiritual awakening.

My second passion is relational mindfulness. I glory in supporting couples as they consciously heal the ruptures in their connection. I am a certified Imago Therapist and also a student of Relational Life Therapy -- the brainchild of Terry Real whose teachings are feminist at their core.
