Our Vision

To make a positive difference locally in the White Rock community, and in the Fraser Valley, through exceptional health care and education.

A unique approach.

We are a general healthcare family practice, offering women, men & children, natural health care for the body & mind.

At Sunnyside, our goal is to address both the underlying cause of your illness along with its symptoms: to treat & encourage health on the functional level where disease first arises.
Your body is an incredibly intelligent system, which does its best at maintaining health and balance through its daily homeostatic function, for in it lays the innate ability to heal itself. When continually stressed or ill however, it exhibits symptoms, which are essentially functional attempts of the body to balance itself to restore health; they can however be counter-productive or even fatally harmful at times, as is evident in an allergic reaction. These symptoms offer naturopaths insight into what is uniquely imbalanced on the functional level in an individual; that is, how the body is struggling or unable to maintain homeostasis, health and balance.

Treating the root

At Sunnyside, we approach health on that deeper functional level through homeopathy, acupuncture and bodytherapy, to restore balance in the nervous system that controls the function of the mind & body.

A fine balance

We pay close attention to the mind, as there is a direct relationship between the way we experience emotional distress & physical stress.
This perspective, known as the BioPsychoSocial Model of health (a medical approach which posits that biological, psychological and social factors all play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness), is gaining popularity and wide acceptance in the medical community. It replaces the old reductionist model of medicine, which claims that every disease process can be reduced down, or explained, by an underlying process, such as an antigen.

In addressing the neurological system that mediates both the body and mind, one is able to guide the body to restoring its own sense of balance, which allows for true health and wellness to flourish.

Our Mission: Experience the Difference!

At Sunnyside, we take your health, and being part of your wellness team seriously. We continually strive to create a safe, trusting and open relationship with our patients in order to understand their health needs.

FIND WHICH SUPPLEMENTS ARE BEST FOR YOUR INDIVIDUAL BODY!

Many times, patients are prescribed vitamins and minerals that on first examination appear to be clinically relevant. They may be indicated for the patient and some benefit may be experienced. Nonetheless, there may be issues with absorption or assimilation preventing the patient from receiving the full benefit of the supplement. Another common problem for patients is the incorrect or over prescription of supplements.

The solution to these common problems is the use of applied kinesiology in combination with a thorough clinical history and relevant diagnostic testing methods. Using this technique your practitioner will quickly and accurately be able to determine which supplement best matches your body's needs, optimizing its benefit. This will prevent the frustration of harmful side effects and ineffective prescriptions, saving you time and saving you money.
