First inspired by the work of Dr. Gabor Mate, Dr. Dominika has focused much of her career on helping her patients connect the dots between early adversity and trauma and their impact on lifelong health and well-being. She knows that the reversal of chronic illness involves the nervous system, and so she has dedicated her practice to helping patients master their own nervous system to positively influence their mind and body, behaviours and ultimately health outcomes. Her explanation of disease doesn't pathologize or blame, but is nuanced, humanized and filled with hope. She trained with various psychologists and experts in the field of psychological trauma. She incorporates the principles of neuroscience, attachment theory, mindfulness, Polyvagal Theory and compassionate inquiry in her approach with patients. Combining these with her naturopathic training, she likes to say that she works at the intersection of science and human experience.

Sensitivity And Your Health 2 min read Last week I wrote about sensory processing sensitivity, the temperament trait carried by an estimated 20 to 30 percent of people. This week, I'm touching on how it can show up in seemingly unrelated symptoms. What The Research Links To This Trait The following lists show how people who tend to be more sensitive are more likely to experience these symptoms. In most cases these are the result of overstimulation, lack of support, and stressful demands...
... Also, everyone says I'm too sensitive. The search history is remarkably consistent. Why am I so tired all the time. Why does a stressful day rattle me to the core. Why am I constantly bloated. Why am I exhausted but still waking up at 3am. Then, weeks or years later, the searches change shape. Why does physically going into the office exhaust me. Why does my kid's whining drive me insane. Why does caffeine hit me so hard. Why do I need so much alone time. Am I a highly sensitive person....
Why The Body Has No Wisdom To Heal The body doesn't have wisdom, certainly no wisdom to heal itself. Two reasons. First, the body is not one thing. What we call a body is a society of billions of cells living in harmony with our microflora and in constant negotiation with organisms that could just as easily turn pathogenic. And none of it holds still. Your gut lining is being shed as you read this sentence. Cells are dying on schedule and being replaced. What you call your body is not the...
