Exciting new workshop coming to Qi Integrated Health.

Come join us Wednesday June 19 for an evening of authentic relating.

Hi I'm Dr. Sam.

Thanks for coming to my page. Let me introduce myself.

I'm a trauma-informed 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧 with a passion for the nervous system.

I have acquired many skills in my pursuit of healing trauma.

I'm also a 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙨𝙩, 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧, and currently in my intermediate year of 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 training.

In my private practice I often see patients with chronic gut health issues, anxiety, PTSD, depression, fibromyalgia, and many other nervous system disorders.

I offer 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 where we discuss diet, lifestyle, herbal medicine, blood work, and health education.

I offer 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 where I incorporate somatic experiencing tools into the session.

I offer 𝙤𝙣𝙚-𝙤𝙣-𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 sessions as well as run monthly 𝙬𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣'𝙨 𝙗𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙘𝙞𝙧𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙨. These circle are a great way to introduce oneself to the world of nervous system exploration in community.

I am also a co-founder and lead facilitator of the 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙀𝙢𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜, a retreat-style breathwork and somatic coaching certification program. Our mission is to bring more trauma-informed breathwork facilitation into the world. We run our retreats on beautiful Bowen Island, BC. Learn more .embodiment.academy.

Oof!! That's a lot of things!! But I wouldn't have it any other way!

And I am still evolving and shifting as I learn more about my own strengths and passions. Thanks for being here to witness me along the way.

So much love,
Dr. Sam

▫️Slow down and feel the warmth of the sun on your face

▫️Wear sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen with longer exposure times

I spent my Sunday going extra slowly this past weekend.

After finally recovering last week from heat stroke and learning to practice what I preach, I spent most of my Sunday laying in the shade, coloring in my mandala coloring book.

The key is not in creating a mandala for the purpose of the result, but in the process itself. With nowhere to be and no expectations, my therapy was to simply exist in the present moment, being gently in tune with every stroke of my felt pen. It was a meditation in itself.

Today, I feel well rested. I feel in tune. I feel calm and grounded.

A stressed nervous system needs practice, rehabilitation, time dedicated solely for the intention of cultivating safety. Slow simple activities that promote presence help to create that safety.

I will be coloring in many more mandalas, for the sake of my nervous system ❤️

I bought my mandala coloring book from in Kitsilano.

Don't worry Port Moody friends...

I am still in Port Moody at Healing Cedar Wellness 3 days a week.

Slide to see my hours at each clinic.

I had an acupuncture filled day and it filled me with so much gratitude for this incredible medicine.

What does an intial naturopathic visit look like?

In your first visit with me, you will be doing a lot of talking, and I will be doing a lot of listening.

I will ask you questions that help me get as much information as possible to get your whole picture.

I want to know...

What is your story?
What has your health journey been?
What are your biggest stressors?

Your job is to be open and willing. My job is put the pieces together and guide you back to health.

I'm excited to learn more about you.
