"It's reassuring to know that my treatment plan is designed for me, based on my health and my unique needs rather than according to a pre-set plan for all patients. I feel so grateful that I’m able to discuss everything I need to without feeling rushed."

Our Stress Type Questionnaire will reveal your unique response to stress. Please click here to begin your assessment. If any of your scores in A, B, C, D, or E sections are above 10, stress is negatively affecting you on the emotional, mental and physical levels and you may be a candidate for our Stress Management Program. Please bring your completed assessment to your initial consultation where Dr. Guthrie will use it in assessing how stress is affecting you.

Since stress has such far-reaching effects on our health, it’s important to address it now before it leads to more serious illness down the road.

Our Stress Management Program will help you feel more balanced and better able to manage the stress in your daily life. This program incorporates healthy eating, mental/emotional counselling, appropriate herbal medicines and nutritional supplements, physical activity and relaxation techniques. Our Stress Management Program is an integral part of treating stress, anxiety, insomnia, depression, digestive concerns, infertility, chronic pain, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Dr. Guthrie’s approach to Stress Management is modeled after the clinical programs of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine affiliated with the Harvard Medical School combined with Mindfulness-Based Therapies.

Please remember, these programs are not one size fits all. All of our programs act as a framework in which your care is individualized specifically for you.
