Healing Modalities

  • Botanical medicine, also known as herbal medicine, involves using plants and their extracts to support health and treat various conditions. It's a holistic approach that draws upon the natural healing properties of plants, including leaves, roots, flowers, and more. These botanical remedies can come in various forms such as teas, tinctures, capsules, or topical applications. Many cultures have a rich history of using plants for medicinal purposes, and modern botanical medicine combines traditional wisdom with scientific research to provide safe and effective natural options for health and well-being.

  • Nutritional counseling is a personalized and expert-guided approach to optimizing your diet and eating habits for better health. I work closely with you to assess your individual nutritional needs, lifestyle, and goals. I incorporate tailored nutrition and diet advice into much of my practice.

    Nutritional counseling goes beyond generic advice, taking into account your specific health concerns, dietary preferences, and any existing medical conditions. Whether you're aiming to manage weight, improve energy levels, address digestive issues, or enhance athletic performance, I collaborate with you to create a customized plan that suits your unique needs.

    Nutritional counseling empowers you with the knowledge and tools to make sustainable changes to your eating habits, fostering long-term well-being.

  • Nutritional supplements are products designed to provide additional nutrients that might be lacking in a person's diet. They come in various forms, including pills, capsules, powders, and liquids. These supplements contain vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbal extracts, or other beneficial substances that can help support overall health and well-being.

    While a balanced diet is the foundation of good health, sometimes it can be challenging to get all the essential nutrients solely from food. Nutritional supplements bridge this gap by offering concentrated sources of specific nutrients. For example, someone with a vitamin deficiency might take a vitamin supplement to help meet their body's needs.

  • Homeopathy is an effective natural and holistic approach to healthcare that is based on the principle of "like cures like." This means that a substance that can cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can be used in a highly diluted form to treat similar symptoms in someone who is unwell. Homeopathic remedies are made from a wide range of natural sources, including plants, minerals, and animals.

    These remedies are prepared through a process of serial dilution and succussions, which enhances their healing properties while minimizing any potential side effects. Homeopathy considers not only the physical symptoms but also the individual's overall constitution and emotional well-being.

    Homeopathy is often used to address a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, promoting balance and well-being on all levels – physical, emotional, and mental.

Naturopathic Services

In my practice as a licensed naturopathic doctor, I draw upon a diverse set of modalities from clinical nutrition, botanical medicine and homeopathy. I tailor my approach to each individual's needs.

All naturopathic appointments are reimbursable by your private health insurance, if applicable.

  • During your initial consultation, which typically lasts about 1 hour, I conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your health and well-being. Here's what you can anticipate during this important session:

    Health History: We start by discussing your medical history, lifestyle, and specific health concerns or goals. This contextual information helps us tailor our approach to your needs.

    Laboratory Assessment: We delve into the results of relevant laboratory tests. This could involve blood work, hormone levels, nutrient status, and other diagnostic measures. Analyzing these results provides insights into your body's current state and potential areas of improvement.

    Body Systems Overview: While focusing on laboratory data, we also consider your body systems holistically. By understanding how these systems interact, we gain a comprehensive understanding of your health profile.

    Personalized Insights: Based on the laboratory assessment and your health history, we offer personalized insights and recommendations. These may include dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions using modalities such as botanical medicine, nutritional supplements, homeopathy and nutritional counseling based on the findings.

    Goal Setting: Together, we set realistic and achievable goals that align with your health aspirations. These goals serve as milestones for your journey towards improved well-being.

    Education: We provide educational information about how laboratory results reflect your health and the significance of certain markers. This empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.

    The initial consultation sets the stage for your path to better health. Our aim is to utilize scientific data to guide our recommendations and provide you with a personalized roadmap towards improved well-being. Your health journey is important to us, and we're dedicated to supporting you throughout this process.

  • After your initial visit patients can book subsequent appointments. Typically, 15-minute time slots are utilized for things like acute medical conditions, ordering bloodwork, and re-filling ND-prescribed prescriptions.

  • I offer follow-up consultations designed to fit your schedule and needs. These sessions, available in 30-minute, 45-minute, and 60-minute durations are a continuation of your wellness journey after the initial assessment. During these visits, we build upon the foundation we established in the initial consultation and address your progress, challenges, and evolving health goals.

These consultations are designed to address issues such as colds, flu, sudden flare-ups of conditions such as gout, rashes, and other unexpected health challenges. These acute visits can be conducted in-person (if it's not a transmittable pathogen) or by phone. If you can't find an available time slot in the booking schedule online, please don't hesitate to call (416-809-4375) or email me at kathrynamorrison@outlook.com and I'll do my best to fit you in promptly.

Whitestone Botanicals

  • Botanicals to Consider

    Acute Care Formula - Potent antiviral formula (Dr Kate’s family’s go-to during cold and flu season); best taken the moment you notice cold/flu symptoms

    Lung Clear - A formulated expectorant botanicals to clear the respiratory tract; Always good to have on-hand during cold/flu season to clear stubborn mucous from the airways.

    Chaga - Chaga contains beta-glucans, which are known for their immune-modulating effects. These compounds can help regulate the immune system, potentially enhancing its ability to respond effectively to infections and threats.

  • Botanicals to consider:

    Preventative Formula contains several ingredients such as certain medicinal mushrooms like Chaga, Cordyceps, and Turkey Tail, have been studied for their immunomodulatory properties, which can be relevant for cancer patients to support their immune systems during treatment.

    Chaga is often considered for cancer support due to several potential health benefits associated with its bioactive compounds. Here are some reasons why chaga tincture should be considered for cancer support:

    Antioxidant Properties: Chaga is rich in antioxidants, particularly polyphenols. Antioxidants help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of DNA mutations that can lead to cancer.

    Immune System Support: Chaga contains beta-glucans, which are known for their immunomodulatory effects. These compounds can help regulate the immune system, potentially enhancing its ability to identify and destroy cancer cells.

    Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Chronic inflammation is linked to the development and progression of cancer. Chaga contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce inflammation and create an environment less conducive to cancer growth.

    Potential Anti-Tumor Activity: Some studies have suggested that chaga's bioactive compounds, including betulinic acid, could have anti-tumor properties by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells.

  • Botanicals to consider:

    Preventative Formula is a potent formulation combines adaptogenic marvels like Astragalus and Rhodiola with the soothing properties of Chaga, Cordyceps, Licorice, and Turkey Tail mushrooms

    Chaga is classified as an adaptogen, which means it may help the body better adapt to stress and maintain balance. Adaptogens are thought to have a regulatory effect on the body's stress response, which can lead to increased resilience and vitality.
