Dr. Stephanie Farwell - Naturopath, Bowen, Reiki

Stephanie is a licensed and registered Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with CONO (College of Naturopaths of Ontario). Stephanie Farwell first attended Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, and successfully completed her Honours Bachelor of Science, BSc, in a double major of Biology and Chemistry.

Following her undergraduate degree, she underwent four years of study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, including a one year internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. Stephanie was the recipient of the Presidential Award in Botanical Medicine for her graduating class. During her Naturopathic studies she decided to undertake additional study in bodywork for more efficient treatment of pain and body misalignment. Bowen was first introduced to her at the College and she fell in love with the therapy. She was certified in 2006 and has since taken 2 levels of Masters in Bowen courses and additional training with babies, pregnancy and Bowen.

Energy Medicine appeared to be the most logical next step in the bodywork aspect of her practice. Usui Reiki was the energy therapy that she decided to undertake and became a Master and Teacher. As a teacher she endeavors to teach others the aspects and importance of integration of the Spirit, Mind, and Body in holistic health.

Stephanie has a special interest in both fertility, digestion and pain resolution and management. Having studied these various body healing techniques, such as Bowen and acupuncture, she has been able to develop her medical intuitive abilities. This has enabled her to look at her patients as a whole, not only allowing her to identify what their physical bodies require for healing, but also their mental/emotional and spiritual aspects. She is constantly studying in this area to grow as a practitioner and as a person.

5 SIMPLE WAYS TO DETOX DAILY
Many people think that you do a detox only a few times a year. The body needs to cleanse daily in order to function optimally. If one’s body is unable to clear itself of toxins on a regular basis dysfunction can occur. Toxic build up can lead to subtle illnesses, such as sinusitis, to more severe degenerative, inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis. When the body’s elimination pathways, such as the colon, become impeded and unable to function properly, a person can no longer absorb the ess...

5 WAYS TO DETOXIFY YOUR LIFE
When most people hear or even learn about detoxification it is almost always related to cleansing the various body’s organs via nutritional and herbal or homeopathic drainage routes. Spring is an ideal time to undertake these detoxes, which I will do a future blog about. However, I have noted that detoxification of one’s environment and mental/emotional body are not covered extensively. These aspects also directly affect one’s well-being substantially. So I put a list of various detox ideas o...

6 TIPS TO ENHANCE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
The winter season can be so beautiful! There is nothing like the feeling of looking at the soft falling of a dust of snow on a late winter’s night. Having a steaming cup of hot cocoa after a long winter’s walk. Yet, on the flip side, this time of year can be a challenging time for us Canadians! Having to bundle up just to fetch your mail that is a mere 2 minutes away from your doorstep, travel plans being easily deterred due to last minute snow squalls, and sightings of the sun can be sparse.

5 Tips for Weight Loss Post Holidays
The holidays tend to be a favourite time of the year for most people!

GINGER: THE SPICE THAT WARMS MY HEART!
Most people that know me, know I that I prefer to drink coffee over tea. Perhaps because my parents were both coffee drinkers. I honestly never drank coffee until I was studying for my Naturopathic final board exams (ironically enough!). The one tea that I would set aside my morning cup of Joe for would be ginger tea (peppermint tea being a close second!). Ginger has such wonderful warming, invigorating and soothing qualities to it. This spice is easily obtained and is a very affordable to make ...

CONSUMPTION: DIET IS NOT THE ONLY IMPORTANT FACTOR IN HEALTH! LET’S TALK ABOUT THE SENSES!
Most of what is written today in the arena of health is about diet. What we should eat, what diet is ideal, one diet somehow being the best for all people, how many calories we consume and what type etc. I have noted, even in my life, that one thing that is not discussed very much in regards to health is the consumption of anything but food. Let me clarify, we consume many things in our lives through our senses! What we watch, read, how much time we spend indoors, what music we listen to etc. Co...

BOWEN THERAPY: THE LITTLE-KNOWN THERAPY THAT ADDRESSES PAIN
Many of my patients know that I have been practicing a technique called Bowen Therapy for more than 12 years now. I like to integrate Bowen into many of my Naturopathic treatments because when the structure of the body is aligned properly and is unencumbered, the body is able to detox and heal faster. I always remember that structure influences function in the body. An aligned body is a healthier and higher functioning one.
