Acupuncture is an
ancient system of
healing developed
over thousands as
part of the traditional
medicine of China,
Japan and other
Eastern countries.
Many acupuncturists also practice
other therapies that
pertain to Oriental
medicine such as:
Herbology, Tui
Na (Chinese
massage),
Cupping and
Moxibustion.
The Nova Scotia
Association of
Acupuncturists
(NSAA) was formed in 1992.
All members have completed,
at minimum, a three-year
program from an accredited
acupuncture/Oriental medicine
college or a minimum of 1900

master-disciple relationship. Many
members have also completed
third party examinations in
the provinces of B.C., Alberta,
Quebec or hold registration in the
USA (NCCAOM). While we work
towards provincial and national
legislation, the NSAA upholds the
highest degree of educational and
professional standards to date.
Current members of the NSAA by

Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors
C
hiropractors are highly skilled primary health care providers
with extensive education and training. Doctors of Chiropractic in Nova Scotia are licensed by the Nova Scotia College of
Chiropractors and regulated by the Chiropractic Act of Nova Scotia.
Chiropractors are concerned with your nervous system which
affects the health of your body! Chiropractors are considered
neuromusculoskeletal specialists, or in plain terms, chiropractors
specialize in the treatment of disorders related to joints, nerves
and muscles of the body, particularly the spine. The hallmark of
chiropractic care usually involves “spinal adjustments”, however,
other treatment modalities may be utilized including ice, soft
tissue therapy, electrotherapy (i.e. muscle stimulation), exercise
programs, nutritional advice, supports, ergonomic advice, lifestyle recommendations or orthotics.
Extensive research studies have demonstrated chiropractic to be
effective in the treatment of conditions such as neck pain, back
pain, headaches, whiplash, hip pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain,
just to name a few.

Dr. Taryn Deering, ND
aturopathic medicine is a unique and
comprehensive approach to improving
health and treating illness. Focusing on
prevention and addressing the cause of illness, naturopathic doctors (NDs) combine scientific knowledge with traditional healing wisdom to support
and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself. NDs
often collaborate with other health care professionals, and treatment is complementary to other forms
of health care, including conventional medical treatment. The therapies used by NDs include: clinical
nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling,
acupuncture and Chinese medicine, homeopathy,
and physical therapies. Services are covered by most
workplace and private health insurance plans.
All members of the Nova Scotia Association of
Naturopathic Doctors (NSAND) meet the requirements of the Nova Scotia Naturopathic Doctors
Act, which became law on July 18, 2008. This Act
requires all NDs practicing in NS to hold a Doctor
of Naturopathic Medicine degree/diploma from
an accredited college/university of naturopathic medicine; to have written and passed NPLEX,
the North American standardized board examinations; and to maintain membership in NSAND and
the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors.

Founded in 1874, Osteopathy is a natural medicine based on a key paradigm shift: remove the
underlying causes of pain and illness, rather than
manage symptoms. This allows the body’s inherent self-healing ability to resume. Symptoms,
whether involving pain, digestive distress, fatigue,
headaches, stress, etc., often represent the “end of
the story”. Peter has 27 years of clinical experience.
Phone: (902) 423-1085
Our clinic offers osteopathic services for all ages and conditions with
registered osteopaths and thesis students from

in an multidisciplinary approach to health care,
i.e. no one therapy can provide all the answers.
We also provide physiotherapy, massage therapy
and acupuncture. Please note that only registered
osteopaths can bill health plans for osteopathic
services.

Manual Practice Osteopathic studies
“Osteopathy is a natural medicine which restores function to the
organism by treating the causes of pain and imbalance…”
Philippe Druelle, D.O.
The CEO’s Halifax Program began in 2001.
Osteopathy, a discipline in demand
Osteopathic education emphasizes the transmission of the art of osteopathic palpation.
This ability, to treat the human body at a highly sophisticated manual level, is what
distinguishes Osteopathy from all other forms of medicine and therapy.Given the increasing
need for qualified health professionals, osteopaths benefit from interesting
career perspectives. Osteopathy could be the career you are looking for.

Dreams are a powerful way nature provides us with
self healing. When understood they promote psychological and spiritual healing and growth, and a
deeper relationship with the Divine. Dreams connect us with our authentic Self, urging and guiding
us in the journey toward the realization of our fullest life potentials, the process Carl Jung called “individuation”. Learning to understand one’s dreams
enlarges and enriches every aspect of life.

your own ability to give treatments,
Reiki uniquely adapts to your needs. It can balance energies, bring fresh insight, provide a safe
haven, renew a sense of magic...or all of the above!
