Women’s health is a key focus in Naturopathic Medicine. We especially excel in listening to patients and determining which signals from the body are messages of imbalance. Utilizing a variety of treatment methods, such as botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, and nutrition, we guide patients back to a state of hormonal balance and optimal health.
Naturopathic doctors A. Somji, K. Podolska, and T. Steeves are trained to treat hormonal imbalances, such as infertility, irregular periods, PMS, and menopause, and also provide prenatal and post-natal care.
Our clinic offers specialized saliva and urine hormone testing which allows the naturopathic doctors to customize a treatment plan that is individually unique. When you visit our clinic, the doctor will spend considerable time taking a thorough case history for you.

It is this individual attention that makes our naturopathic doctors so effective at delivering quality healing results. As with all therapies, individual responses will vary, please be aware that results are not guaranteed.

1 to 4 million North Americans suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and 80% of those are women!
Although there can be many causes of fatigue, the one constant is how deeply it impacts your quality of life. Our definition of fatigue is simply a lack of energy, drive or vigour you once owned. It may manifest as just an energy drop in the afternoon or it can be as debilitating as the lack of energy to get out of bed in the morning.
At Optimum Wellness, our aim is to identify and address factors that may be contributing to fatigue and preventing your body’s immune system from functioning correctly.
One of the greatest honours we have at our centre is receiving referrals from other healthcare professionals.
