This clinic is designed for adults and older adults who wish to improve their mental health through a holistic, lifestyle‑based approach.

In your initial assessment, we look at:

• Diet and Physical Activity

• Sleep and Daily Routine

• Breath-based yoga and meditation practices

• Spiritual enquiry and meaning in life

What to expect from a consultation

During a consultation, we will:

• Review your symptoms, stressors, medical history, and current treatments.

• Explore how lifestyle factors (such as diet, sleep, and activity) are affecting your mood and anxiety.

• Introduce simple breath‑based and meditation practices, adapted to your health status and preferences.

• Discuss how these strategies can be integrated into your daily life and your ongoing care with your usual clinician.

• After the visit, I may send a letter with recommendations to your family physician, nurse practitioner, or psychiatrist.

This clinic does not provide:

• Crisis or emergency mental health assessments.
