Naturopathic Medicine
Let our Naturopathic Doctors assist you in achieving your health and wellness goals
Each of the Naturopaths on our staff is a fully accredited Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine. Each also uses a variety of therapies, including both traditional and conventional methods, to help you overcome some of modern life’s most common — and often seemingly untreatable — ailments. We follow a holistic approach, relying primarily on treatments that amplify and harness the human body’s own innate healing powers.
Once an initial examination and diagnosis have been performed, your Tonume Naturopath will design a course of treatment tailored to your individual needs. Their strategy will make use of several tools, including various elements of both Western and traditional Chinese and/or other Asian medicines.

The Six Principles of Naturopathic Medicine
First Do No Harm
Core to all medical practice is the desire to help the human form and condition. NDs typically approach care by utilising the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies. NDs will refer when the patient’s presentation is outside their scope or level of skill.
The Healing Power of Nature
NDs recognise the value of our natural world in assisting the healing process. Not only do NDs utilise substances that originate in nature, but they also incorporate a healthy natural environment as foundational to human health. Naturopathic doctors recognise and harness the body’s inherent wisdom to heal itself in order to guide patients to wellness and total health.
Identify and Treat the Causes
There is a time and place for symptom suppression, however most naturopathic patients will benefit from identifying the underlying causes of illness and removing obstacles to cure.
Doctor as Teacher
Naturopathic doctors elevate patient health literacy. That means that NDs are part of the team helping patients have a better understanding of what it takes to be and stay well. Through education and a trust-based relationship, patients better understand the steps they need to take to achieve and maintain health.
Treat the Whole Person
Naturopathic doctors understand the interconnectedness of our body, our environment and our lifestyle on total health. It is only through this whole-person-based approach that NDs seek to restore balance and health.
Prevention
Naturopathic medicine affirms that it is better to prevent illness and suffering whenever possible. Through their comprehensive practice, NDs combine all six principles in order to identify potential areas of imbalance and teach patients how to get well and stay well.

I’ve had amazing experiences here with Zachary as my physiotherapist! He was super thorough, professional and easy to talk to throughout all of our sessions. My wrist injury was quickly healed after a couple of sessions. I have also been seeing Britta for RMT and always leave my sessions feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. She is the BEST!! Thank you Tonume.
CH
Everyone at Tonume is skilled and are good listeners. I've had massage, physiotherapy, kinesiology, and acupuncture done here and never had a bad experience.
FT
Fantastic experience getting acupuncture with Dr. Bok Chen, would highly recommend! Attentive listener, provides detailed explanations, and shows a lot of care towards your needs.
TC
Amazing team, that always works in your best interest to achieve your goals. They are kind, friendly, and caring. The team at Tonume deserves a round of applause for all of their hard work and dedication to their practice.
KT
My family has been getting treated at Tonume for years - massage, chiropractic care, naturopathy, probably others I've forgotten. Always top-notch treatment and today's massage with Anne was no different. I walked in feeling crippled and left feeling healed - thank you!
ER
Your 1 stop shop! Everything about this place is wonderful, the staff are all so kind and really care about the patient. Could not recommend this place more highly!

Dr Matthew Nagra is very professional and knowledgeable. On my first visit, he really listened to what I was wanting in regards to my health goals and my lab work, and created a realistic plan with me that fit my schedule. By my second visit, my lab work came back with great results and I already lost more weight than I expected at this point. I highly recommend Dr Nagra, if you want to eat healthier , lose weight and / or improve lab results
JG
Dr. Gaelan is absolutely wonderful. Highly skilled and knowledgeable. One of the top chiropractors in the province by far
MM
I had a massage from Benjamin today and wow, I'm truly surprised at how much tension he was able to release in just one visit. I've had back pain on and off for over 15 years and have been to probably over a dozen RMTs in that time, in different cities and provinces, and Benjamin is definitely in the top 3. And the other 2 in that top 3 list had decades more experience. Truly an amazing RMT.
JA
Such an amazing group. Zachary the physiotherapist has been the game changer for my progress and repair on my body. Hayley the osteopath has been incredible and has such an amazing awareness of the body. Overall, I’m grateful to find this place and I would highly suggest bringing your needs here!
DK
I love this place. Everyone, from the front desk to the practitioners, are wonderful. It is 2SLGBTQIA+ friendly and informed which is important to me and I’ve never felt like they body-shame or are judgemental in other ways. I mostly see Jamie (RMT) & Dr. Gaelen (chiro) who are the best (imho)!
ST
I'm a patient with Heidi Gray. I'm not comfortable with sharing. Frankly I wasn't optimistic about the discussion. Upon meeting her my discomfort was immediately dissipated. I'm not a person who is taken to people right away. I felt at ease sharing. I completely felt like I truly helped myself after talking to her. I am so so grateful for her knowledge. 10/10 I highly highly recommend.
CG
Friendly staff, amazing practitioners, direct billing to extended health insurance companies. Highly recommend!
