The Wellhouse is by far the most supportive, welcoming, and effective chiropractic clinic I've ever visited. Dr. Jake truly listens, even when I struggle to explain what's going on, and always makes me feel heard and comfortable. Most importantly, his techniques are working. I've noticed real improvements, and I'm so grateful for the care and attention he puts into every visit. I'll definitely continue coming to The Wellhouse for chiropractic care, RMT, and acupuncture. I highly recommend The Wellhouse to anyone looking for compassionate care that truly makes a difference. 🤜❤️🤛
Do you believe in magic ? I sure do . Dr Jake at the Wellhouse is amazing ! Absolute MAGIC ! Seriously , 10/10 highly recommend . Do not hesitate , you will be better for it ! Having never been to a chiropractor in my life , I must admit I was sceptical . In desperation , after being in pain for over a month , I was at my wits end . I phoned and begged for an appointment . Louise at reception was very kind and empathetic , she got me an appointment that same day . Dr Jake listened carefully while I described my pain ( and apprehension ) and assured me he could help me . Dr Jake is knowledgeable and compassionate , he is gentle and thorough , he explained everything along the way and even taught me self care exercises I can do on my own . I am so very grateful that his treatments have completely HEALED MY PAIN . It was amazing , just like magic ! I am a believer ! I continue to see Dr Jake to keep me healthy and look forward to our visits because he and Louise are so personable , we have a good laugh . Thanks Dr Jake .
Dr. Jake Deeble is the best Chiropractor. He listens to you as well as assesses your physical condition. He treats the issue and is equal parts personable and professional. If you need Chiropractic care - Dr Jake is your guy!
Dr Jake Deeble was great. I’ve seen a few different chiropractors in my lifetime and he’s definitely the best.
Dr. Jake Deeble is the best chiropractor I’ve seen. He’s exceptionally skilled as a chiro, but even more than that, he’s compassionate and makes you feel heard. Can’t recommend him enough!!
Dr. Glenn is so amazing. I always feel so much better after my visits.
I've known DrGlen Reed WellnessChiropractor for coming up on 5 years now, and always found him to be down to earth, knowledgeable, and committed to not just fixing an issue, but educating patients so that they can improve and maintain their overall heath.
Dr. Glenn reed and staff are so incredible! As a first time mom it was scary for me to bring my 7 week old baby to a stranger. But Dr. Reed made me so comfortable and I instantly knew I was doing the right thing. They are the most supportive, accommodating practice that I have ever been to. I won't take my son anywhere else! Thank you for everything you've done for us Reed family wellness centre �
I have used multiple services from Reeds for a couple years now. I find the staff to be encouraging, and look for my health (as opposed to only what's wrong with me). I feel valued, like what I bring is acknowledged. All around good people!
I recommend this clinic to anyone that asks me. I have seen Jessica Reed for almost a year now and wouldn't change a thing. It is amazing what they do to help me recover from all the hard training I put my body through. I can't say enough about all the staff members here.
Betty and I chose the excellent rating only because there wasn't a seventh star made available. So, we'll simply attest to the fact that our findings go beyond excellence! I'm confident you'll arrive quickly at the same conclusion when you do yourself a favour by checking in at Reed Family Wellness Centre.
My husband is seeing Yue Fang (Willa) Wang , Registered Acupuncturist and Registered TCM Herbalist . She is professional, dedicated , and caring . He has had very good results from her care and prescribed herbal medicine . The office is clean and comfortable . The desk staff always cheerful and kind .Thank you so much Willa for your kind care and concern ! Highly recommended your services !
I had the pleasure of inviting Alyssa Rose Horton, a member of the Reed Family Wellness team, into my grade 4/5 class to do a presentation on the importance of nutrition and how to make healthy choices. The presentation Alyssa shared with my students was extremely informative, relevant and engaging for my class! How to live healthy and nutrition are some of the most important concepts today's children need to learn, Alyssa did an excellent job of teaching my students how they can make healthful choices everyday. The "Power Smoothie" at the end was also a definite crowd pleaser! I would and will recommend Alyssa to all of my colleagues and hope that others get the opportunity to learn from her as well!
Professional, knowledgeable, warm, caring, inviting are just a few words that describe Reed Family Wellness. Our whole family enjoys it here. I feel blessed to have found such a great team!
Naturopathic Medicine in Nanaimo
Naturopathic medicine is a regulated health profession in British Columbia. Naturopathic doctors assess patients, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide care within their professional scope of practice.
Your care begins with a detailed assessment. Your naturopathic doctor will discuss relevant aspects of your health history and current concerns and explain recommendations that may be appropriate for your individual circumstances. The objective is to provide individualized care based on the information gathered during your assessment rather than applying the same approach to every patient.
An Individualized Approach to Naturopathic Care
Healthcare needs differ from person to person. Rather than assuming that one approach is appropriate for everyone, your naturopathic doctor considers your individual circumstances when assessing your health and discussing options for care.
Your treatment plan may also change over time as your circumstances change or new information becomes available. Where appropriate, your ND may recommend that you see another healthcare professional or communicate with another member of your healthcare team with your consent.
Naturopathic Medicine at a Multidisciplinary Nanaimo Clinic
The Wellhouse brings several regulated healthcare services together in one Central Nanaimo location. Depending on your individual needs, your care may involve one practitioner or more than one healthcare discipline.
Services available at The Wellhouse include:
When care involves multiple professionals, communication and collaboration should occur appropriately and with consideration for your consent, privacy, and individual healthcare needs.
What to Expect From a Naturopathic Appointment
Your first appointment provides an opportunity for your naturopathic doctor to learn more about you and the reasons you’re seeking care.
Health History
Your ND will ask about your current concerns and relevant health history. Depending on your circumstances, this may include questions about medications, supplements, previous diagnoses, lifestyle, family history, and other information relevant to your care.
Providing accurate information about other healthcare and treatments you are currently receiving can help your naturopathic doctor understand your overall circumstances.
Individual Assessment
Your naturopathic doctor will assess the information relevant to your concerns and determine whether additional information, examination, testing, referral, or other steps are appropriate. The assessment and recommendations will depend on your individual circumstances.
Recommendations
Following your assessment, your ND will discuss their recommendations with you. Recommendations are individualized and depend on your health needs, assessment, professional scope of practice, and other care you may be receiving.
Your naturopathic doctor will explain proposed care and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions before you decide how you would like to proceed.
Meet Your Nanaimo Naturopathic Doctor
Naturopathic care at The Wellhouse is provided by Dr. Olena Gill, a Nanaimo naturopath and Naturopathic Doctor offering individualized care based on each patient’s health history, concerns, and goals.
Dr. Olena Gill, RAc, ND
Dr. Olena Gill is a Naturopathic Doctor and Registered Acupuncturist at The Wellhouse.
She earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in 2014 and completed her Registered Acupuncturist training through the Global College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2002.
Dr. Gill’s educational background also includes degrees in psychology and music, and she has continued her professional education in areas related to naturopathic medicine and patient care.
Her practice is centred on individualized assessment, patient education, and collaborative decision-making based on each patient’s circumstances and healthcare needs.
Working With Your Existing Healthcare Team
Naturopathic medicine may be one part of your overall healthcare. It is important to tell your naturopathic doctor about medications, supplements, treatments, and other healthcare you are currently receiving. This information can help your ND assess your circumstances and make appropriate recommendations. Where communication with another healthcare professional is appropriate, your naturopathic doctor can discuss this with you.
Do not stop or change prescribed medication based solely on information found on this website. Questions about changes to your individual treatment should be discussed with the healthcare professional responsible for your care.
Naturopathic Medicine Fees and Insurance Coverage
Fees and insurance coverage for naturopathic care vary depending on the services provided and your individual benefits plan.
Naturopathic medicine is included in some extended health benefit plans. Coverage, annual limits, referral requirements, and eligible services vary between insurers and individual plans.
If you intend to submit your appointment for reimbursement, we recommend contacting your insurance or benefits provider directly to confirm your coverage.
The cost of naturopathic care varies depending on the type of appointment, assessment, testing, and treatment or services provided. Because Dr. Gill offers a range of naturopathic services, including laser therapy, homeopathy, and various forms of testing, costs can vary. Please contact The Wellhouse or view current booking options for up-to-date information about appointment types and fees.
