Naturopathic Medicine:

My experience with Dr. Wickland has been wonderful - she listens carefully, responds thoughtfully, and acts 
judiciously in providing care. The treatments she has prescribed have unbelievably changed my day to day life, 
which is now pain-free, and so much more fun.  On a regular basis, I can honestly say I'm feeling well. It's amazing.

For over two years now we have regularly turned to Dr. Wickland to help us maintain the health and wellness of our 
family. Through herbal, homeopathic, and lifestyle changes, she has helped my  partner, child and myself with both 
acute and preventative health  concerns. Having seen how well she works with everyone in my family,  it has become 
clear the broad range of expertise Dr. Wickland has.  She is a true family doctor. From the beginning, I have always felt 
a  strong sense of comfort and a great rapport with Dr. Wickland, as she  strikes a fantastic balance between professionalism 
and camaraderie.  In terms of her specific practice of holistic medicine, Dr.  Wickland's suggestions and/or prescriptions are 
always practical,  reliable and innovative solutions. Additionally, she gives multiple  suggestions and/or prescriptions that 
take into account the financial  situation of patients whose insurance does not cover herbal and/or  homeopathic supplements.
 I have in the past, and will continue to  recommend Dr. Wickland to all of my Vancouver friends and relatives;  her care has 
been essential in helping us maintain the most basic  ingredient in our lives, our health.

BOWEN TECHNIQUE:  

My experience with Bowen therapy initially was due to a frozen shoulder. I had fallen off a donkey while traveling in Egypt at the beginning of my trip. I couldn't lift my arm above my shoulder. Once back from traveling I started Bowen therapy from Dr. Wickland and I was able to see and feel results after each session. It feels like a bit of pressure on certain parts of the body and is performed in short intervals with rests in between. It was very relaxing almost to the point of falling asleep or feeling like you are in a nice zone. Sometimes I felt a bit of tingling on my back during the sessions but always felt relaxed and rested after each session. I was able to get back my arms range of motion within a few months of starting the sessions.I was incredibly happy as I was in no pain and had the full use of my arm back. I can confidently recommend this treatment and have to my friends and family.

I am a 56-year old woman. Bowenis a gentle, non-invasivetreatment that puts me into a parasympathetic state, enabling my body to rest and repair. This is a treatment which takes effect for weeks afterward; I feel my body shifting even weeks later. My posture has improved. This treatment works well with other natural healing modalities.

During a Bowen session, I laid relaxed on a treatment table, wearing loosely fitting clothing. Dr. Wickland initiated a gentle, rolling hands-on treatment which appeared to stimulate and heighten the sensory awareness of my body. I experienced strange sensations such as heat release, tingling, general increased awareness of the areas being worked on and immediate release of pain in the affected areas. I also experienced a profound sense of relaxation and overall well-being both during the treatment and more importantly for many days after. The gentle yet powerful Bowen moves operate on the body's energy meridians and appear to clear energy blocks and bring the body into a new state of balance. Within 3 treatments scheduled a week apart, Dr. Wickland identified underlying issues affecting my body's current ability to heal itself and developed a treatment plan to help me overcome long term chronic health issues with adrenal fatigue and food allergy symptoms.
