Janine Buisman Wilcox is a Naturopathic Doctor, Guelph local, and Mom of three young kids. She is passionate about helping her patients get to the root of their health challenges so they have energy to enjoy life. She truly believes that health brings happiness. When we feel great, we can accomplish the things we want to in our school, work, family, friendships, and personal lives. When we feel poorly, the simple tasks of daily living can be a challenge. She understands that life is busy, and information online is confusing, so she works hard to guide her patients through that to a place where they are enjoying life and feeling good in their body: waking refreshed, managing stress, feeling nourished and energized, digesting well, experiencing mental clarity and happiness, and moving without pain.

Her approach is to keep things simple and meet patients where they are at in terms of their goals, circumstances and motivation. Some patients are ready for big lifestyle overhauls, but for most, it is small changes that they can continue for the rest of their lives. Being a parent is TOUGH- the to do list is long and the worries are high, they last thing she wants to do is to make life more stressful.

When she meets a patient, Janine takes a very thorough health history to understand what the root causes of the concerns are: whether it’s hormones, a damaged digestive system, bacterial/yeast imbalance, food sensitivities, stress, weak liver function, immune system dysfunction, etc. She educates her patients so they understand what they are working towards and feel empowered to take their health into their own hands. Together they implement feasible dietary and lifestyle changes. She prescribes high quality herbal and nutrient supplements that are clinically proven as being effective for treating the condition or deficiency at hand. She uses acupuncture for some patients as a way to reduce pain, balance hormones, decrease stress, promote sleep and mental well-being, and provide relaxation. As a practitioner, she is constantly learning and researching to ensure that she is aware of the latest research and best practices in the field.

Janine studied Kinesiology at McMaster University before pursuing studies at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, a four year program which she completed over six years while having her kids. While she enjoys seeing patients with many different concerns, she is particularly excited about treating kids and their families - setting them up with the tools for lifelong wellness. She is also passionate about women’s health. She loves to help women regulate their hormones at all stages of life, whether trying to get pregnant, supporting pregnancy or postpartum, or dealing with the hormonal fluctuations of menopause.

Janine was born-and raised in Guelph and fits the stereotype well as a baby-wearing, barefoot outdoor-loving type. She loves to spend time with her kids at various parks and coffee shops in the Downtown area, hang out in her yard with friends, and play a good boardgame. Life feels a little crazy sometimes, but these things are fun! Janine is proud of the Guelph community and loves contributing to it and improving patients’ lives with her knowledge and passion.

Allison is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, Kinesiologist, competitive dance teacher, ergonomist, and industrial sports medicine professional.

She is a Registered Kinesiologist with the COKO and OKA and a member of Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN) and the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA).

Allison came across the term Osteopathy early in her undergraduate studies.

The body has innate self-healing and self-restoring mechanisms which can be optimized when obstructions are removed. It is the perfect marriage of Allison’s love for the art of human movement and biological science. She looks forward to educating and helping a diverse range of patients to restore their health.

Shannon Rolph is a Registered Occupational Therapist who works with children, youth and parents. She is both a teacher and cheerleader, walking alongside children and families as they increase their competence and confidence in their child’s most valued activities.

Shannon graduated from Western University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2007, and from the University of British Columbia with a Master of Occupational Therapy in 2010. She has honed her skills in communication, coaching, assessment and treatment through various roles in primary care, home care and acute care prior to settling into her passion working with children and families in private practice.

Shannon is constantly learning and has focused her professional development on self-regulation, managing anxiety, and picky eating. In addition to these, she is skilled at addressing difficulties with fine motor skills, self-care activities and helping children to understand and navigate the social world.

How does Shannon make change happen? She starts by investigating to get to the root cause of the challenge. She believes that all children do well if they can, and has found that when kids are having difficulty there is almost always a lagging skill or unsolved problem at its root. Shannon uses evidence-based therapeutic strategies to build up that lagging skill and to collaboratively solve problems. She focuses on the importance of connection and strives to build a stronger relationship between you and your child over the course of therapy.

Shannon is passionate about sharing information that helps children and families thrive. She continues to do this through speaking events, hosting workshops, and sharing helpful information through platforms like Instagram (@shannon.rolph.ot). She also gets lots of opportunity to practice what she preaches in the clinic with her 3 young children at home!

I’m an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and proud mama of two.

Since the beginning of my nursing career I have had a passion for caring for mothers and their babies.

While working in primary health care I noticed a growing need for breastfeeding education among expecting, new, and experienced mothers. This is where my drive to empower mothers began. I aspire to help mothers gain the confidence to breastfeed comfortably and enjoyably.

When breastfeeding my son and daughter, I was able to see first hand how fulfilling, but at times difficult this experience can be. It wasn’t until I had connected with a Lactation Consultant when breastfeeding my son, that I was truly able to enjoy this experience and feel like a confident mother.

While breastfeeding my daughter I came across many breastfeeding challenges including lip and tongue tie. I saw how powerful it was to have the breastfeeding knowledge I was certified in to help me overcome my own breastfeeding difficulties.

Let’s be honest breastfeeding can be tricky and I’m here to give you the support and confidence to OWN it. Just like every baby deserves the best nutrition and care from day one. Every mother deserves the best support and education to help reach her breastfeeding and parenting goals. I can’t wait to help you succeed in reaching your goals!
