Our Mission
We provide individuals and organizations with leading edge, collaborative, integrative & customized healthcare. Compassion, authenticity and high levels of support create a comfortable healing environment for any journey; whether the goal is disease management, preventative health or personal growth. By elevating consciousness, we facilitate the relationship & connection to self, community and the living planet (Gaia).
Our Vision
Healing the world by raising consciousness one person at a time.
What is Collaborative Medicine?
Collaborative Medicine unites different practitioners from different disciplines for the common good of the client. Our client’s health and the creation of a healing environment is at the core of all collaborative efforts- allowing you to experience the best of different medicines in a coordinated approach. At Gaia all collaborative medicine programs are under the guidance of a medical doctor and use the expertise of both traditional and alternative practitioners.
Why Gaia?
The term Gaia means the ancient Greek Earth Goddess and was worshiped as the mother of all. In 1979, James Lovelock, a British biochemist, created the “Gaia Hypothesis” as a theory that explained the Earth as a living organism and the dynamic interactions that occur between life and the environment. The Earth sustains and nourishes us on every level. As humans, we drink the Earth’s water, we breathe the air, and most of our modern medicines are derived from nature……we are intimately connected.
At Gaia Clinic, we endeavour to bring awareness to this precious relationship, provide support to foster the body, mind, and spirit, and ultimately improve our relationships with all living beings.
