One word easily sums up the way that I practice: integrated. Integrated Medicine (IM) is defined as the combination of both complementary/alternative medicine (CAM) with conventional medicine (Western medicine).
IM takes the best from both worlds to treat body, mind and spirit. Fundamental to my approach is a treatment philosophy grounded in systems related to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Acupuncture, and enhanced by modern nutritional practices prevalent in North America. This framework allows clients to benefit from traditional Asian medical principles within a Western healthcare context; in other words, I treat my clients using an East-meets-West approach to ensure seamless care for you and your family.
I respect and value many aspects of North American medical practices. Because of this, I strongly encourage my clients to maintain a healthy relationship with their family physicians or specialists.
If you are looking for help with your hot flashes or painful periods, or to find natural ways to improve your fertility, you are ready to benefit from a multidisciplinary approach that treats your body, mind and spirit.
What Makes Drew Unique?
All acupuncture treatments include nutritional counselling.
Modern nutritional training is not typically emphasized by TCM practitioners, but I believe that most health conditions are related to the foods we eat, and I am specially trained to help you navigate through the confusing world of diet and supplement choices.
You will not be rushed out of your appointment.
Adequate time is necessary to provide the correct treatment and I will ensure you receive the time you need.
My clients are empowered through education.
Although TCM can be confusing, I will clearly explain what is happening during your individualized treatment. All questions are welcome! When you work with me, you gain access to my database of resources through email. My website contains my own published articles as well as links to scholarly journal articles and related TCM research.
I offer individualized treatments.
I view each client as an individual with a unique health history and specific expectations of a health practitioner. My treatments are tailored to your needs; I avoid cookie-cutter approaches to health care.
