Hi! I’m Dr. Amita. 

I bring you and your family a variety of in-patient hospital and community experience having worked as a nurse and naturopathic doctor for a combined 30 years.

I am deeply passionate about helping patients on their journey to optimal wellness and seek to identify and address the root cause of disease to create lasting functional improvements in quality of life and overall health and well-being.

I see patients in my general family health practice and treat a variety of conditions including mental health, women’s health (PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, fibroids, menopause), men’s health (cardiovascular, prostate), pediatrics, along with a special interest in supporting patients with cancer at all stages. 

I use standard and naturopathic diagnostic tests to formulate diagnoses and can recommend naturopathic treatments that complement conventional medical treatments or be used effectively on their own.

When designing a unique and individualized treatment plan for my patients, I use every tool in my toolkit and may even consider incorporating prescribed bioidentical hormones, including dessicated thyroid, intravenous infusion vitamin therapy (IVIT) and/or injection therapy when needed. 

I’m also a mom to two amazing teenage boys living a life of fulfillment in following my passion for all things transformational in health and living. 

I approach life with a strong growth mindset ever seeking self-improvement and thus offer patients a distinctive blend of conventional medical knowledge with traditional healing wisdom to encourage change and provide a truly integrated approach to healthcare.

Hi!! I am Dr. Stefania, a Naturopathic Doctor with a love for listening to the body and giving it what it needs to thrive. My goal is to listen to you and your story to try to understand the things that may be contributing to your current state, whether its physical, mental, or emotional. I believe the most therapeutic visits consist of a lot of laughs, cries, and breakthroughs. I want to make sure you leave the clinic feeling understood, educated, and empowered to take control of your health.

Although I see a wide variety of concerns, I have an interest in chronic pain, chronic fatigue, women’s health, and metabolic concerns. Generally during the first visit I like to focus on the fundamentals with my patients, which usually consists of diet/ lifestyle modifications, lifestyle work, and different targeted herbal remedies or nutrients. Lab work is often run in order to determine next steps. In addition, I have a love for Traditional Chinese Medicine, so I do a lot of work with acupuncture and cupping therapy for concerns such as pain, anxiety, insomnia, facial rejuvenation, etc.

When I am not working, you will find me at HomeSense, drinking smoothies with way to much ginger, watching reality TV, or spending time with family and friends ☺

If you would like to learn more about my approach, please book in for a complementary meet and greet. I look forward to being a part of your health journey!

Hello! I’m Dr. Sabrina Perfetto, ND, and I’m proud to be part of NatCan’s dedicated healthcare team.

I’ve always been drawn to science, health, and the pursuit of knowledge. For me, understanding _why_ someone feels the way they do is just as important as helping them feel better. My clinical focus is **identifying the root causes of symptoms** and creating clear, practical treatment plans that help patients regain control of their health.

My approach focuses on taking the time to understand the full picture of your health. Through thoughtful conversation, investigation, and collaboration, we will create a plan that fits your lifestyle and supports meaningful, lasting change.

In my practice, I support patients with a wide range of concerns, including:

- Digestive and gut health concerns
- Stress, burnout, and mood balance
- Energy, metabolic health, and inflammation
- Musculoskeletal pain and recovery
- Preventative and longevity-focused health care

I also regularly work with patients navigating **hormonal health** concerns across the lifespan, including adolescence, reproductive years, perimenopause, and menopause. Hormones influence many aspects of overall health, and I enjoy helping patients better understand and support their bodies through these transitions.

Above all, I believe that every patient deserves individualized care. Your experiences, goals, and preferences matter, and together we will build a plan that helps you take control of your health and future.

Whether you are seeking support for a specific concern or looking to invest in your long-term health, I am here to meet you where you are and help guide the next steps on your health journey.

Hello, my name is Alisa and I am a Registered Acupuncturist (R. Ac.) thrilled to be a part of the NatCan team. I have always had a passion for holistic healing and the restorative benefits that accompany holistic health. My interest for holistic remedies became prominent at a young age. I was a competitive dancer for over 10 years and had sustained various injuries throughout this time period. Going through these experiences intrigued my desire for total-body healing; taking into account a person as a whole and their physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental well-being. This is a philosophy I live by in order to provide my patients with the best optimal care, balance, and harmony so that one may live their life to their full potential.

I am deeply committed to treating patients through the holistic and ancient Chinese Medicine ideology. Balancing the energy forces of the body by utilizing Acupuncture, Gua Sha, Cupping, and other techniques are the methods I exhibit to equalize one’s vital Qi (energy) in the body. My goal is to stabilize the energy, Yin, and Yang that follow along specific channels and meridians in our body in order to prevent disease and attain the best health possible.

Furthermore, I have earned my Honours Bachelor of Applied Science in Kinesiology with Distinction, as well as a Diploma in Fitness and Health Promotion from the University of Guelph-Humber in which I gained extensive knowledge regarding the kinetics of the human body and its functions of movement. Upon graduation, I went on to pursue further education at the Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and that is where I facilitated my passion for holistic medicine. I successfully wrote and passed the Pan-Canadian Licensing Examinations and I am happy to call myself a proud Acupuncturist registered with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of Ontario. ☺ I am ecstatic to support you on your healing journey in becoming the best version of yourself!

Hi there! My name is Laura Louise Persichetti! I am excited to be part of the NatCan Team and offer services that will support your journey with all the amazing practitioners you are working with here.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, trained Life Coach, and Spiritual Guide. This multidisciplinary training allows me to support individuals mentally, emotionally, physically, and energetically; addressing the individual as a whole. As we have come to understand, our thoughts are energy, our words are energy, and our emotions are energy. Not addressing energy when addressing these aspects of ourselves is to miss a valuable component.

My desire for many, many years was to discover what truly brings happiness in life. I traveled all around the world, studied with many different teachers, and explored a variety of different cultures. In my discovery, I realized happiness was not the answer. The truth is, we are destined to discover JOY. It is my honour and true joy to support people in discovering this joy in their life as well.

My practice has always been about looking at the individual person as a whole: mind, body, soul, and spirit. You can make all the “right” healthy choices, but if you don’t address your mind and emotions, you’ll be missing a major component. Just like you can talk out your feelings, but if you don’t address your physical health and body, you’ll be missing a huge component there too.

NATCAN has always been an incredible place to look at all areas of your life for health and wellness. I’m excited to be part of your healthcare team to help you conquer your mind and emotions, align you to your goals, support you in your relationships, and watch you excel when you bring all the pieces together.

I’ve studied with many amazing teachers and professionals around the world, and have developed a multidisciplinary practice with a variety of experience from supporting people in hospice, to CEOs scaling their business. Life doesn’t come with a handbook. Having a professional in your corner can make all the difference in your health, relationships, family, business and overall fulfillment in life.

We can book 1:1 virtual psychotherapy sessions and we can book 1:1 in-person sessions to help you balance and align your energy structure through activations and energy healing modalities.

I look forward to meeting you through NatCan and working together through psychotherapy sessions or individual energy healing sessions.

Hello, my name is Rose, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Master NLP Practitioner, and Rapid Transformational Therapist, holding a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My work is devoted to guiding individuals through deep subconscious transformation so they can release limiting beliefs, shift subconscious patterns, and step into a more empowered and authentic version of themselves.

I believe that true wellness begins from within. Healing is not simply about managing symptoms, but about understanding and transforming the underlying beliefs, patterns, and life experiences that shape how we think, feel, and live. My role is to support clients in a safe, skilled, and guided way as they reconnect with themselves on a deeper level, using clinical hypnotherapy and NLP tools and techniques to access the subconscious mind, uncover and reframe limiting patterns, and facilitate meaningful cognitive, emotional, and subconscious change. This process supports greater clarity, emotional regulation, self-worth, and a deeper sense of inner alignment and peace.

Every healing journey is unique, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and deeply personalized space for transformation. Through a holistic and integrative approach combining hypnotherapy, NLP and RTT techniques, and compassionate guidance, I help clients release emotional blocks and limiting beliefs, reduce stress, rebuild confidence, and create new conscious and unconscious patterns that feel natural and aligned with who they are truly meant to be. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to transform into the best version of yourself I offer this work with compassion, care, and deep, genuine understanding throughout your wellness journey.

Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of supporting clients through a wide range of emotional, physical, and subconscious challenges, including concerns around weight loss and emotional stress eating, anxiety, low self-worth and confidence, chronic pain, skin conditions, fear-based anxiety and phobias, emotional eating patterns, childhood trauma, PTSD, depression, stress and mood regulation, emotional healing, addictions, performance anxiety, overthinking, feeling stuck, money blocks, fertility concerns, and anger management, amongst others. My work supports clients in gently releasing these limiting beliefs and subconscious patterns and reconnecting with a greater sense of balance, clarity, and inner alignment.

I am also the creator of the R3 Identity Recode Method, also known as the Reset, Rewrite & Reprogram approach. This signature approach is designed to help clients release limiting beliefs, disrupt conditioned patterns, rewire the subconscious mind, and reprogram the story the mind has come to believe. It supports the cultivation of a grounded internal foundation anchored in confidence, emotional freedom, and a deeper sense of self-worth, allowing transformation to unfold in a way that feels meaningful and aligned with your most authentic self.

Outside of my practice, I value connection, balance, and the simple moments that bring meaning and joy to life. I deeply cherish time with my two lovely daughters and family, and find grounding in nature through walks on trails, moments of reflection along with music, travel, and shared laughter. I also enjoy our very special dog, Theo, who fills our home with love and joy.
