Jessie holds a Master of Social Work degree, has additional training in working with infants, children and families and is currently completing the requirements for certification as a Certified Play Therapist.

Through the activity of play Jessie helps children to make sense of difficult life experiences (e.g. divorce, death of a loved one) and navigate the big feelings (e.g. anxiety, anger, sadness) that are often at the root of challenging behaviour. Jessie supports children and their caregivers become more able to cope with how they are feeling, develop insight, emotional intelligence and confidence. Play is a child’s natural way of communicating; we can explore various issues they might find difficult to express in other ways.

Some of the common challenges that bring families to counselling include:

• Parenting young children (0-6)

• Anxiety

• Attention Difficulties

• Discipline

• Divorce, Fostering, and Adoption

• Frustration/Aggression

• Resistance and Opposition

• School Issues (bullying, peer relationships, academically)

• Sensitive Kids and Special Needs

Jessie works with both the parents and the children to understand and address the roots of the problem, and interpret the behaviour with insight into the underlying emotions, in order to impact lasting change. Jessie believes that the parent-child relationship is the foundation of children’s mental wellness. You are what your child needs. Let me help you build on that foundation.

Neha Panchal graduated from Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy in Cambridge, in 2019. She has always had a knack for education & continued learning and thus gained some experience in pregnancy massage, treating a variety of pre & post-natal clients (some who had high-risk pregnancies too!) She likes to integrate Swedish massage with tissue release, trigger point therapy and movement therapy to address each individual’s concern. Other techniques she likes to incorporate in her practice are: Deep diaphragmatic breathing, passive and/or active stretching, fascia, joint mobilizations and deep tissue massage. Throughout her training and practice of nearly 2 years, she has gained experience treating clients with TMJ treatments, and infant massage therapy as well. Having a passion for labour support and pregnancy, she has completed workshops and courses for Labour Support and Becoming a Doula/RMT.

Sports massage is an area of massage therapy which still excites her. She has volunteered and worked with some athletes, including a wrestling team.

While at work, she tries her best to ensure clients feel they are in a safe & relaxing environment by engaging them in their own treatment plan so they feel confident in their approach to be a better version of themselves. She continues to grow and strive to be a better therapist by seeking further education and learning from other healthcare professionals as well.

In her time off, she loves to spend time travelling, exploring, hiking and camping, swimming, dancing, playing badminton or just going out for a drive. She believes nature helps the body’s inherent ability to heal itself and thus encourages everyone to be a part of the nature around them.

Ever since I was a child I have wanted to help others with their health. My stuffed animals and siblings were my first ‘patients’, treated mostly with care, my fisher-price medical kit, and more toilet paper for bandages than my mother would have liked. Later, volunteering at my home town hospital gave me a real love for working with families, as I had the privilege to assist patients from all walks of life. Pairing this realization with the natural approach of Naturopathic Medicine, helping people start and raise their families naturally just made sense to me.

I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Health Studies with a minor in Psychology at the University of Waterloo, prior to attending the four year Naturopathic Medicine program offered by the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM). This program is a rigorous combination of fundamental science and Naturopathic modality training. The first two years are predominantly spent studying the basic sciences (eg. Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, etc.) combined with learning the various specific tools of Naturopathic Medicine (eg. Botanical Medicine, Nutrition, Lifestyle modification, Homeopathy, etc.).

I have several areas of interest including: General Family Health, Pediatrics, Women’s Health, Aboriginal health, and Mind-Body Medicine.

I also have experience working with women and their partners as a Birth Doula. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping mothers and fathers to prepare for the arrival of their little ones, by providing full support before, during and after labour. I received training specifically in Pediatric Care during my clinical internship at the Robert Shad Naturopathic Clinic, where I regularly saw children, ages ranging from newborn to 18 years of age. I also worked with the Aboriginal population at the Naturopathic satellite clinic out of Anishnawbe Health Toronto for four months of my clinical internship.

I’m also a member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND).
