Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are primary health care practitioners, extensively trained in the promotion of wellness and the prevention and treatment of disease. ND’s believe in addressing the root cause of ‘dis-ease’ and in working with each individual’s innate ability for healing to bring the body back into balance. NDs may utilize any or all of the following modalities when working with clients to implement an individualized health care plan: dietary and lifestyle counseling, nutritional supplementation, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) including the use of acupuncture, and physical medicine (hydrotherapy, massage, etc.)

➡️Register for free Mental Health First Aid Training

Parents and caregivers of North Grenville are invited to register for free Mental Health First Aid Training led by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Addictions and Mental Health Team.

Teens face numerous stressors that can sometimes put them at risk of anxiety, depression, or substance use challenges. Mental Health First Aid is an evidence-based, early-intervention course that teaches parents and caregivers about mental health and substance use challenges. The training will provide parents and caregivers with the language and strategies necessary to engage the youth(s) in their lives about mental health and substance use. If you have questions about how to talk with your teen(s) about mental health, this is your opportunity!

The free Mental Health First Aid Training is courtesy of the Municipality of North Grenville. The training is open to 18 parents/caregivers and will take place on Friday, March 13th, 2026, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the North Grenville Municipal Centre – Suite B.

Spa-level skincare, at home 🤍

If you’ve ever been to Ste. Anne’s Spa, you know the feeling — calm nervous system, deep exhale, skin that just glows.

Their skincare line brings that same spa experience home with products that are:
✨ Made with natural, skin-nourishing ingredients
✨ Gentle, effective, and designed to support the skin barrier
✨ Perfect for sensitive, stressed, or reactive skin
✨ Rooted in decades of holistic spa wisdom

These are the kinds of products that don’t just sit on your skin —
they support it.

If your skin (and nervous system) could use a little spa energy right now… this line is such a beautiful place to start 🤍

Immune Support, the herbal way 🌿

Cold season, stress, poor sleep, or that run-down feeling?
Your immune system may just need deeper support — not another quick fix.

St. Francis Herb Farm's Deep Immune is a powerful blend of traditional immune-supporting herbs that work with your body, not against it.

✨ Why we love it:

Supports immune resilience (not just symptom suppression)
✔️Helps the body respond to stress & seasonal bugs
✔️Liquid herbal format = fast absorption
✔️Made with organically grown herbs right here in Canada 🇨🇦

This is one we often recommend when:
✔️ You feel like you’re always catching something
✔️ Recovery feels slower than it used to
✔️ Stress is running high (and immunity is running low)

Because supporting immunity isn’t about “boosting” harder —
it’s about supporting smarter.

If you want a gentle but effective herbal ally for your immune system, this one’s a staple 🤍
