Dr. Uzelac has extensively pursued her passion in the field of natural health and wellness. Suffering from various health ailments herself, Dr. Uzelac has spent the majority of her adult life seeking holistic options for treating those ailments. This passion for health and wellness led her to pursue a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology from the University of Western Ontario. She then obtained a diploma in massage therapy from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Toronto. Dr. Uzelac then spent several years practicing as a successful Registered Massage Therapist. Always striving to improve, and recognizing that the human body is an intricate system that needs a multidisciplinary approach, she decided to pursue the study of Chiropractic. She attended Los Angeles College of Chiropractic at Southern California University of Health Sciences and earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2006. Dr. Uzelac fully believes that optimal health is finding a balance between all the body’s systems. When one system is out of balance, symptoms arise and Dr. Uzelac’s goal is to find the root of the problem and to correct these imbalances systematically through chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue treatment and nutritional testing and supplementation.

Optimal health and wellness takes time and dedication. Dr. Uzelac works with each patient to set achievable goals and implement a treatment plan.

1997, seven years after my first encounter with Oriental Medicine, I began my own practice. Since then, the combination of current research and traditional medicine guides my ongoing learning. I’m fascinated by the complex ways in which we can create resilience and keep returning to, and building Health that is both responsive and dynamic.

My orientation to practice: Whether your concern is physical, psychological-emotional, spiritual and/ or energetic, I think of myself as a facilitator who has developed skills to foster your innate ability to return to a healthy equilibrium. My practice is informed by the belief that our beings are all equipped with the innate wisdom to heal ourselves. Sometimes this ability is derailed by a perfect storm of stressors which can result in pain and Dis-Ease. The practice of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine+ offers a variety of effective approaches to help re-connect us with a dynamic Health, encouraging our true nature to take over and blossom! …

Over the decades, to develop my skills and the modalities I practice, I have studied a variety of different styles of acupuncture and treatment. Although I practice a predominately Japanese style of gentle, constitutional acupuncture, I also have extensive training in musculo-skeletal and Sports Medicine style needling. Regardless of the style of needling, treatment will often integrate body-, fascial- and/or lymphatic-work, Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy, counseling and any of a variety of herbal traditions to support the overall treatment. For those who are shy of needles, the three alternatives of acupressure, or traditional teishin, or the current technology of cold-laser can each be effective alternatives.

Tools and applications used: Needles, teishin, cold laser, micro-current stimulation, E-moxa, Cupping, Gua sha, liniments and poultices, essential oils, TDP infrared heat lamp, moxa spray
