Naturopathic

Naturopathic medicine allows for the widest scope possible for a primary health care provider and is used to provide relief from disease using a natural approach rather than a drug-based approach. Prior to treatment, the doctor will conduct a comprehensive health interview to record pertinent information, perform any needed physical examinations, and recommend any necessary labs such as hormone testing. Your naturopathic treatments may include the following modalities: **Nutritional Optimization** Includes diet advice and any needed natural health supplementation plans **Support for vegetarian/vegan lifestyle** if required-Food Allergy (IgG/IgE) **Testing-Nutrigenomic Testing** (comprehensive salivary genetic test for 45 genetic markers) **Botanical Medicine** Using completely vegan herbal extracts to naturally provide the body with certain actions needed to overcome dis-ease **Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture** Often, imbalances in the flow of blood and energy (Qi) along with deficiencies in the cooling or heating system of our body can lead to disease. Acupuncture along with carefully selected vegan friendly Chinese herbal formulas can be used to correct these imbalances. In addition to symptom differentiation. A misconception about acupuncture is that it is a painful therapy but nothing could be further from the truth. Dr. Hamid Tajbakhsh, ND uses a method of acupuncture he has named AKiMCA. This stands for Applied Kinesiology Mediated Constitutional Acupuncture which allows for gentle insertion of a minimal amount of needles to bring upon maximal healing response. Dr. Hamid uses manual muscle testing techniques to locate exact areas of excess and deficiency which allows him to efficiently and effectively address multiple concerns at once thereby treating the actual cause of his patients’ concerns. Bowen therapy was first founded by Tom Bowen in Australia during the 1960s. This therapy uses non-invasive gentle soft-tissue maneuvers which send signals to the central nervous system causing re-structuring of muscles, tendons, and bones. This works to break repetitive pain cycles and eliminate chronic pain patterns! Bowen therapy also increases blood flow and lymphatic drainage to the tissues and even organs which help to rejuvenate the body and aid in the self healing mechanisms of the body.

Chronic Illness and Lyme Disease

Ananta Health: **Calgary Traditional Chinese Medicine And Holistic Health Center.** Our approach at Ananta Health: Is a Holistic approach and takes the broadest possible view of illness and disease, identifying multiple causes (both internal and external), and offering multi-dimensional “healing,” as opposed to specific “cures.” It is as important to identify a patient’s susceptibility towards disease as it is with its transmission. Discovering why one patient is more prone to getting sick than the other. It is possible to reinforce our immune system, so that we are more resistant and resilient to diseases and would not require medical intervention. Our Calgary integrative clinic embraces the philosophy of treating the whole person. Both natural doctors and patients alike are bonding with the philosophy of treating the whole person, not just the disease. At Ananta Health there is a partnership between the patient and doctor, where the goal is to treat the mind, body, and spirit, all at the same time. While some of the therapies used may be nonconventional, a guiding principle is to use therapies that have high-quality evidence and results to support them. The team of natural doctors in our Traditional Chinese Medicine and Holistic Health center are united by our commitment to quality patient care to ensure the best outcome. **Meet with us and redefine the way you see your health today!**

Massage Therapy

My name is Shanay and I am a local RMT based out of the Langley community. I graduated from the 3200 hour program offered by Langara College in Vancouver.I take pride in having a strong therapeutic touch while also providing a relaxing atmosphere for the mind.  I have a background in spa and clinical work and my interests are in providing deep therapeutic touch, fascial release, pregnancy massage, treating TMJ & headaches as well as general Swedish massage.What is Ruca? Ruca is a name originating from India that means splendor. The antonymous for splendor are ordinariness, poorness, dullness and insignificance. These are all qualities I do not wish to embody in my practice or my life and that is how I adopted the name The Pink Ruca. Pink because it is my favourite color as it represents universal love of oneself and of others. I want to add a dash of pink to the clinic because massage is my passion and it is what I love.

Counselling

Therapeutic approachMy therapeutic approach has been influenced by a range of disciplines and anti-oppressive frameworks - however, my practice is most influenced by Narrative Therapy.  Narrative therapy invites the therapist and person seeking change to work collaboratively in unpacking unhelpful narratives that are carried and re-authoring our own narratives towards new, helpful changes.Problems often dominate the story of who we are and help us to make unhelpful conclusions about ourselves.  In fact, many people report that those problems can completely consume their sense of who they are. From this approach, I hold the stance that ‘you are not the problem, the problem is the problem’ (White, M) and together, we can explore how problems may be dominating your story, working together to re-author it.In my experience I have worked with many individuals, families, and couples renegotiating their relationship to various problems.  Contact me today to discuss re-authoring your narrative.
