Areas of Focus: Integrated Solutions for Your Health

1. Hormone Health (Women's Health)

Restoring Rhythm and Balance.

We provide specialized treatments for a wide range of female health and hormonal issues including PMS, PMDD, PCOS, Endometriosis, Perimenopause, and Menopause.

  • ND Approach (The Foundation): At Serenique Wellness in Port Moody, our experienced Naturopathic Doctors offer a comprehensive assessment, including detailed history taking, blood work, and advanced functional testing (e.g., DUTCH test). We create individualized treatment plans using professional supplements, herbal medicine, nutritional balancing, or Bio-identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) to restore systemic hormone balance.

  • RMT Support (Stress & Regulation): Registered Massage Therapy plays a crucial role by targeting the stress response. Massage helps to reduce cortisol levels, calming the nervous system (HPA axis), which is essential for regulating sex hormones and adrenal function. RMT effectively alleviates cycle-related symptoms such as lower back pain and cramping.

  • Acupuncture Integration (Cycle Harmony): Acupuncture is highly effective for promoting hormonal balance and reproductive health. Treatment focuses on regulating menstrual cycles, significantly reducing PMS/PMDD symptoms, and managing perimenopause/menopause discomforts like hot flashes and mood swings by harmonizing the body’s energy pathways.

2. Digestion & Gut Health

Heal Your Gut, Heal Your Life.

We treat a spectrum of gut-related issues including Abdominal pain, Bloating, Gas, IBS, Acid reflux (GERD), Food sensitivities, Leaky Gut, and SIBO.

  • ND Approach (Root Cause Analysis): We begin with a deep dive investigation using advanced functional testing such as Comprehensive Stool Analysis (GI-MAP), SIBO Breath testing, and Food Sensitivity testing. We identify the root cause of dysfunction and implement targeted protocols involving customized diets, probiotics, and gut-healing supplements to restore the microbiome and repair the intestinal lining.

  • RMT Support (Gut-Brain Axis): The Gut-Brain Axis is profoundly affected by stress. RMT helps by reducing overall body tension, which in turn calms the digestive tract (Enteric Nervous System). Techniques focusing on abdominal and core relaxation can help improve motility and reduce functional digestive discomfort associated with IBS and stress.

  • Acupuncture Integration (Motility & Flow): Acupuncture has a long history of treating gastrointestinal disorders. It is used to regulate digestive motility, alleviate chronic symptoms like bloating and reflux, reduce inflammation, and calm the spasms and pain associated with IBS, promoting healthy and regular bowel movements.

3. Skin Health (K-Beauty & Inner Wellness)

Radiance from the Inside Out.

Common chronic skin conditions we treat include acne, eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rosacea.

  • ND Approach (Inner Beauty for Outer Radiance): True skin health starts from within. Our comprehensive assessment examines underlying factors such as digestion, immune function, hormone balance, and diet. We may order inflammatory markers or nutrient panels. Treatment focuses on internal detoxification and managing inflammation to resolve chronic skin issues. We seamlessly integrate Naturopathic Principles for internal wellness with cutting-edge Medical Aesthetics to ensure your internal health genuinely supports and amplifies your external radiance.

  • RMT Support (Detoxification & Lymphatics): RMT enhances skin health indirectly by facilitating lymphatic drainage, which helps the body clear toxins and reduces inflammatory fluid retention that can worsen conditions like eczema. Stress reduction through massage is also critical, as stress is a major trigger for acne and psoriasis flare-ups.

  • Acupuncture Integration (Collagen & Clarity): Acupuncture is excellent for both therapeutic and cosmetic goals. Cosmetic Acupuncture (Facial Rejuvenation) enhances blood flow, stimulates collagen production, and improves skin clarity and tone, aligning perfectly with the K-Beauty goal of “Glass Skin.” Body points are also used to reduce internal “heat” (inflammation) manifesting as redness or breakouts.

4. Low Energy & Fatigue

Reclaim Your Vitality.

Feeling tired, afternoon crashes, constant brain fog, and burnout are signs that your body needs support. Underlying causes often include Nutritional deficiencies, hormone imbalances (Adrenal/Thyroid), and sleep disturbances.

  • ND Approach (Reclaiming Vitality): Our approach begins with rigorous testing (micronutrient, organic acid, hormone testing) alongside conventional lab work. We identify energy deficits related to thyroid, adrenal function, or mitochondrial health. Treatment involves individualized supplements, targeted IV Vitamin Therapy (B12, nutrient blends), and protocols to optimize sleep and restore sustained energy.
  • RMT Support (Rest & Recovery): Fatigue is often linked to physical and mental strain. RMT focuses on achieving a deep state of relaxation to improve both the quality and duration of sleep, which is essential for cellular energy recovery. By reducing chronic muscle tension, RMT minimizes the physical energy drain on the body.
  • Acupuncture Integration (Qi & Stamina): In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fatigue is often seen as a deficiency of Qi (Vital Energy). Acupuncture treatments are designed to tonify and circulate energy, significantly improving symptoms of chronic fatigue and burnout. It supports the nervous system, enhances sleep, and strengthens the body’s overall resilience.

5. Pain Management

Move Better, Feel Better.

Chronic or acute pain significantly impacts your quality of life. We offer drug-free, non-surgical approaches to identify sources of pain, reduce inflammation, and restore comfortable movement.

  • ND Approach (Addressing Systemic Inflammation): As Naturopathic Doctors at Serenique Wellness in Port Moody, we focus on treating the root cause of pain, which is often systemic inflammation. This includes anti-inflammatory diet planning, targeted supplementation, and structural assessment. We also offer injection therapies such as Trigger Point Injections or Neural Therapy to manage both chronic joint and muscle pain.

  • RMT Support (Musculoskeletal Release): Registered Massage Therapy is indispensable for effective pain management. Our therapists employ techniques like Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue Massage, and Trigger Point Therapy to break down adhesions, alleviate muscle spasms, and restore joint function. RMT targets the direct physical manifestation of pain for immediate relief.

  • Acupuncture Integration (Natural Pain Relief): Acupuncture is highly renowned for its efficacy in pain management. It works by reducing local inflammation and stimulating the body’s release of natural pain-killing chemicals (endorphins). It is a powerful tool for treating chronic lower back pain, neck stiffness, joint pain (knee/shoulder), headaches, and migraines.
