About Chris Pickrell
Focusing on total wellness and health promotion, I use primarily botanical medicine, Chinese medicine/acupuncture, and counselling to support a person as they move towards achieving true balance in all aspects of their lives. Addressing root cause, treatment often begins by optimizing digestion and absorption, while working to balance stress, sleep, and the fostering of a sustainable healthy lifestyle. My practice philosophy is one of supported independence: In any individual treatment plan, my goal is to help someone re-discover the tangible, practical, ways to regain balance in their lives with the minimum amount of intervention.
I maintain a Naturopathic Family Medicine practice at the Herbal Clinic and Dispensary in Roncesvalles Village. Although I primarily see adults in my practice, I spent a year of my clinical internship training on a specialized pediatric rotation, and very much welcome children and teenagers to my practice. I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, a Registered Herbalist, and a certified yoga instructor. I am proud to be the co-founder of The Community Clinic Roncesvalles, an affordable community acupuncture clinic at the Herbal Clinic and Dispensary.
I am a member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND), and licensed through the Board of Directors of Drugless Therapy - Naturopathy. I am also a member of the Ontario Herbalists Association.
