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.

The dominant cultural narrative has been essentially passive: something is...
Hi Reader , Here's something nobody in the wellness or manifestation world wants to say out loud: Using affirmations can actually make you feel worse about yourself. You're standing at the bathroom mirror, trying to get ready, repeating "today is going to be a great day" โ while the kids are screaming down the hall, your spouse is already irritable, and you just realized your period came for the second time this month. Or you're spiraling before a big work meeting, heart pounding, and someone...
