At Harmony House Wellness, naturopathic care is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health, well-being, and daily activities. Dr. Perri frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• For those whose managing symptoms of an autoimmune condition with holistic support has made giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture and clear thought feel out of reach, Dr. Perri's naturopathic approach offers a path toward a clearer and actionable plan to follow for their health. Evidence-informed natural therapies can be instrumental in helping you return to giving presentations or speaking publicly with confidence and good posture and clear thought with greater comfort and energy.
• Through personalized naturopathic care with Dr. Perri, common concerns like skin problems like eczema, acne, or psoriasis that aren't improving are thoroughly investigated to achieve their child being so much healthier, happier, and more settled now. This often involves dietary adjustments, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle education, helping people to once again enjoy returning to a specific physical or mental hobby they had to give up due to pain or fatigue.
• Many individuals seek guidance from Dr. Perri, their Naturopathic Doctor, when chronic back, neck, or joint pain that hasn't resolved disrupts their well-being. Through a personalized naturopathic plan, they often achieve feeling less 'puffy' and retaining noticeably less water throughout their body, empowering them to embrace activities like running their usual 5k route with better energy and less pain with renewed vitality.
• Dr. Perri frequently helps patients overcome joint pain or stiffness that feels inflammatory by identifying underlying imbalances. A tailored naturopathic program targeting noticeably better breathing mechanics and lung capacity due to improved posture and rib mobility supports your journey back to health and enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like travelling more comfortably on planes, trains, or in cars for longer durations without digestive issues.

Is Naturopathic Medicine covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

In general, naturopathic services provided by a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) in a private clinic are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). Patients usually pay out-of-pocket for consultations and treatments. However, many private or extended health insurance plans do provide coverage for services rendered by registered and licensed Naturopathic Doctors. The level of coverage varies significantly between plans, so patients are encouraged to check with their insurance provider to understand their specific benefits.

Does Harmony House Wellness offer direct billing to private insurance companies for Naturopathic services?

Yes, Harmony House Wellness typically offers direct billing for Naturopathic services to many major private insurance companies. Patients are advised to bring their insurance cards and confirm their specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or referral requirements, directly with their insurer. Please note that any portion not covered by insurance is the patient's responsibility.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first Naturopathic appointment?

For your first visit, please bring copies of any recent lab test results, such as blood work or imaging reports, from the past 1-2 years. Also, prepare a list of all current medications and natural health supplements you're taking, including dosages. If you have a complex medical history, a brief timeline of significant health events can be helpful. Finally, if you plan to use private health insurance, bring your insurance card or policy details.

What types of conditions do Naturopathic Doctors at Harmony House Wellness address?

Our Naturopathic Doctors address a wide range of health concerns, with a focus on identifying and treating the root cause. This includes, but is not limited to, issues like Weight Management & Metabolic Health, Hormone Balance, Digestive Disorders, and Skin Conditions. We often utilize services such as Conventional & Specialized Lab Test Analysis, Detoxification Support, lifestyle counseling, and patient education to help you achieve your health goals.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Naturopathic Doctor in ON?

Patients in Ontario can typically see a Naturopathic Doctor directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, while a referral is not legally required to see an ND, some private or extended health insurance plans do require one for reimbursement. It's recommended to verify your plan’s requirements before your appointment.

What is the difference between a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) and a Medical Doctor (MD)?

Both Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) and Medical Doctors (MDs) are licensed healthcare providers, but their approaches differ. MDs focus on diagnosing and treating diseases with conventional medicine, including pharmaceuticals and surgery. Naturopathic Doctors emphasize prevention and natural therapies to support the body's innate healing abilities, often addressing underlying causes. They may utilize treatments like clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle counseling, and homeopathy. Many practitioners collaborate to provide comprehensive care. The scope of practice varies by province.

What kind of lab testing might a Naturopathic Doctor recommend?

A Naturopathic Doctor may recommend both conventional tests, such as standard blood panels (CBC, cholesterol, blood sugar), urinalysis, and thyroid testing, as well as specialized or functional tests. These can include hormone panels (saliva, urine, blood), food sensitivity testing (IgG), digestive stool analysis, organic acid testing, or heavy metal assessments. The choice depends on individual health concerns and history, with the goal of gaining insights to guide personalized treatment.
