I am a Naturopathic Doctor and Owner of Nature’s Touch since 2007.  I want to empower you to get to the root cause of your disease and prevent disease.  I have the solution to your health concerns by using nutrition, bio-identical hormones, thyroid hormones, B12 injections, acupuncture, herbs, counselling and supplements.  At the end of the day it doesn’t matter what you are experiencing because it is about optimizing the system in your body that is deficient or in disease.  I help my patients discover their food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances and bridge the connection between their body and mind using Bach Flower essences.  Let me help you begin your journey to wellness and empower your health!

My focus is on men’s health and resolving ongoing health challenges. I was inspired from growing up with several brothers, and relating to challenges in their lives. I have a focus on cardiovascular disease, and have concentrated my efforts on learning to treat issues with digestion.

I am fascinated with the link between mood and gut, and believe that mood related issues can be addressed by improving diet. I am a practitioner who listens to his patients, and is determined to understand and relate to them.

Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

My goals are achieved by the use of highly refined sense of touch that is developed over many years of training. This refined palpation skill allows me to feel not only surface muscle tension and inflammation but also deeper muscle issues and distortions.  I have spent time working with a wide range of patients suffering from digestive and other visceral problems, chronic migraines, chronic back and neck pain, motor vehicular accidents, neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, parkinson’s, stroke, as well as prevention and rehabilitation of sports injury.  I also have a passion for special needs children.

As a member of the Ontario Association of Osteopathy & Natural Medicine and the Alliance Canadienne de Medicine Alternative I am currently completing my certification in Craniosacral Therapy.

Mandeep Saini, RMT

Registered Massage Therapist

I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy where I could help people move and feel their best. I started off as a personal trainer and worked as a kinesiologist then switched gears and decided to pursue a career in massage therapy. I combined my knowledge of human movement and exercise with manual therapy to best help improve my patient’s quality of life. I believe in combining different modalities and working with other therapists to provide a well-rounded approach so my patients can achieve their health and wellness goals.

Energy Healing

Sandra DiRuscio

Reiki Therapist

I am a Reiki Master Practitioner, and a registered member of the Canadian Reiki Association since 2018.  

Reiki is becoming more popular as a healing technique that promotes relaxation which helps to reduce and release stress, tension, and anxiety throughout the body.

I practice Usui Reiki, which is a Japanese energy healing modality that helps balance the energy centres of the body.  It helps to identify the energy blockages and brings them back into alignment, which in turn, promotes optimal well-being mentally, emotionally, physically, and spirituality.

I am so pleased to be offering Reiki treatments at Nature’s Touch Naturopathic Clinic, which is dedicated to, and values, assisting patients holistically based on their specific and individual needs.  

I look so forward to seeing you here so that you can experience the benefits of Reiki firsthand.
