Mission Statement

I am truly fascinated in the healing power of the body and nature. I recall in anatomy lab, the first thing that came to mind was “wow, the human body is the best computer ever invented!” So, let’s honour and discover all it can do for you while considering all the tools that nature has to offer!

Who am I and What I Offer

• Extensive naturopathic experience - Close to two decades of work experience - helping others is my passion! Being personable, yet professional, and being loyal and dependable are important to me. • Extensive life experience - Breast cancer survivor and thriver since 2006 - this has shaped me into the individual and Naturopathic Doctor I am today. It has given me insight, knowledge, compassion, strength, and resilience. This is what I pass on to my patients. • Individualized medicine - I use all the tools in my toolbox to guide and assist each patient during their health journey to get to the root of their health concerns. Treatment options may include functional medicine, nutritional and lifestyle counselling, acupuncture, homeopathy, and personalized genetic nutrition. • Time and commitment - I offer you my time commitment through listening, researching and spending countless hours participating in continuing education. Learning is also my passion and I believe in combining the old, as well as the new, to give you the best care.

Areas of Focus

I believe in treating each person individually, therefore, I am able to treat most health concerns, however, my key focus areas include: • Hormonal health - Assisting women with all hormone related conditions and the transitions of life. • Digestive health - Considered to be the root of overall health and wellness, I will always consider this an important piece of overall health but also have treated many specific digestive complaints over the years. • Breast cancer prevention, support, and breast cancer recovery - I am committed to helping women regain their health, strength and power, through and after their treatment. It’s personal! • Mental health and wellbeing - Commonly forgotten and under-addressed. Addressing the mind-body connection is just as important if not more to achieving overall health and wellness. • Stress - There is no doubt life is stressful these days. Stress can cause numerous health conditions, however, it can also trigger underlying health issues to resurface. My goal is to assist the body to cope and handle stress and to help my patients find balance again in their life.

Education/Qualifications

• Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, 2004 - Naturopathic Doctor • University of Waterloo - Honours Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry Cooperative, 1997 • Environmental (Chartered) Chemist- 1997-2001 • Additional certifications include: First Line Therapy (FLT) Certification, Masters Class Graduate in Homeopathy (with the late Dr. G. Gueniot), Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture

Other Fun Facts

• Travel, nature and health enthusiast • Wife to Dan; fur-mama to Roxi • Born and raised in Welland, Ontario until I moved to Waterloo to attend university and I never left. I love the Waterloo and Niagara Regions. • A proud first generation Canadian to Italian immigrants who worked hard to give their daughters everything they could. I love my Italian heritage - the food, the country, the passion….and did I mention the food?!

Are you tired of feeling worn out, in pain, or simply “not like yourself”?

Do you dream of feeling healthy, vibrant, and comfortable in your skin?

Hi, I’m Dr. Kristine Newman and while I’m new to the area, after nearly 20 years of helping people live happier, healthier lives I know it’s possible for you too.

Now you may be thinking: how can she be sure this is true for ME?

Easy.

Your body never ‘forgets’ how to be healthy. And state-of-the-art functional testing shows us exactly what’s getting in the way.

From there, every specific, gentle adjustment is expertly tailored for you to:

Release accumulated tension and nervous system blockages (these definitely get in the way of you feeling your best) Reset your body’s natural, deep healing capabilities Reconnect you to your body (body literacy = noticing and understanding your body’s unique cues and signals) Forget everything you think you know about chiropractic care and instead imagine a life filled with energy, vibrant health and a zest for life. No matter where you are today (which we can and will measure) this is possible.

Feeling curious? I invite you to drkristinenewman.ca for more.

Hope to see you soon and may something wonderful happen to you today,

Kristine Newman DC, CACCP

Hello! My name is Charlene Gingerich, and I am so honoured to offer my services as an Intuitive Energy Healer!

For much of my life, I’ve felt called to the healing arts. And, for more than a decade, I’ve been a practicing certified Reiki practitioner and Intuitive Energy Healer.

I offer one-on-one Intuitive Energy Healing sessions for mind-body-spirit healing and growth. Using a combination of Reiki, intuition and visualization, I work with the body’s natural energetic field and life force energy to locate, shift or remove imbalances in your energetic system.

Our sessions together will help you move beyond situations and feelings and provide support to connect with your own intuition and healing, to enable you to release that which no longer serves you. Think of it as reinforcing your natural ability to heal and support your own overall health and well-being.

Each session is as unique as the individual receiving the treatment. Sessions combine elements which include a unique hands-free approach to energy work with an intuitive experience that unfolds as I’m guided. I feel that it’s a sacred gift to be allowed into your healing journey.

Background

I grew up in rural Waterloo Region and have lived here all my life. As someone who tends to embrace faith in the unknowns in life, I took the leap to make energy healing the focus of my career in 2020, after an 18-year stint as a professional musician in the orchestra at the renowned Stratford Festival Theatre. As a recording artist, I believe that music is also a healing art and I continue to create and offer my own intuitively guided music.

In my spare time, I’m immersed in the Intuitive Healer program through the School of Intuitive Studies and I’m the co-host — along with my wife — of The MeaningMaker Podcast. We live in Kitchener and are enjoying the next stage of life as our four kids become adults. If there is any time left after all of that, I enjoy travelling, theatre, knitting and great food, wine and conversation. You can find my music and The MeaningMaker Podcast on your favourite streaming platform.
