Dr. Stephanie Farwell - Naturopath, Bowen, Reiki

Stephanie is a licensed and registered Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine with CONO (College of Naturopaths of Ontario). Stephanie Farwell first attended Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, and successfully completed her Honours Bachelor of Science, BSc, in a double major of Biology and Chemistry.

Following her undergraduate degree, she underwent four years of study at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, including a one year internship at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic. Stephanie was the recipient of the Presidential Award in Botanical Medicine for her graduating class. During her Naturopathic studies she decided to undertake additional study in bodywork for more efficient treatment of pain and body misalignment. Bowen was first introduced to her at the College and she fell in love with the therapy. She was certified in 2006 and has since taken 2 levels of Masters in Bowen courses and additional training with babies, pregnancy and Bowen.

Energy Medicine appeared to be the most logical next step in the bodywork aspect of her practice. Usui Reiki was the energy therapy that she decided to undertake and became a Master and Teacher. As a teacher she endeavors to teach others the aspects and importance of integration of the Spirit, Mind, and Body in holistic health.

Stephanie has a special interest in both fertility, digestion and pain resolution and management. Having studied these various body healing techniques, such as Bowen and acupuncture, she has been able to develop her medical intuitive abilities. This has enabled her to look at her patients as a whole, not only allowing her to identify what their physical bodies require for healing, but also their mental/emotional and spiritual aspects. She is constantly studying in this area to grow as a practitioner and as a person.

Bowen: The Secret Pain Relief Technique
I have been practicing a technique called Bowen Therapy for more than 20 years now! I like to integrate Bowen into many of my Naturopathic treatments because when the structure of the body is aligned properly and is unencumbered, the body is able to heal faster. I always remember that structure influences function in the body. An aligned body is a healthier and higher functioning one.

THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM’S UNKNOWN SAVIOUR!
Ah…the underestimated and underutilised Castor Oil Pack. To be honest, I didn’t even know these packs existed until I went to the Naturopathic College. I wish I had. In my early 20’s I had a long stint of antibiotic use, being ignorant of the long-term consequences at the time, which put my digestion into an uncontrollable tailspin.

4 Reasons You Bloat More After Age 45
Bloating is generally the result of not being able to properly digest foods. These not-so-digested foods feel like they're just sitting around causing discomfort and a general feeling of being stuffed and “gassy”. It can happen at any age but it seems to be more frequent as you're getting older. This is sometimes due to the stomach's reduced ability to produce enough acid for proper digestion.
