The team at Body & Brain Centre help Avondale Heights & Airport West residents who have pain or injuries, pregnancy woes, anxiety or depression, irritable gut, allergies or intolerances, troubling periods, dizziness - or simply want to be the healthiest version of themselves.
We take an all-body approach to wellness. The systems in our body overlap and we dig deeper to understand how one problem is often related to others. We make an effort to understand you and your body. Your lifestyle. Your background. Your feelings. This is how we get to the bottom of complaints - rather than treat superficially. It’s how we get results.
A caring, structured approach to get you results
Our practitioners genuinely care - they’ll go the extra mile to see you achieve your goals.
You can expect us to constantly learn and explore the latest research, send you follow up advice. And check on you between your appointments.
We see “quick fixes”. But also complex, chronic complaints where a team approach is required. Together we’ll put together a strategy with ongoing progress checks to make sure you’re heading back to health. With your permission, your team will discuss your case to get you better results through the perspective of a range of modalities - combined with the valuable experience of our practitioners.

QEEG Functional Brain Scans
Your MRI & CT are clear but it still doesn’t feel like something is “right.” A QEEG assesses how connected and functional the brain is - what areas are underperforming and others that are in overdrive. Therapy can then be targeted very specifically.

Counselling is a journey to self healing. You’ll learn strategies and solutions to cope with your feelings but also understand why you are experiencing those difficulties. You’ll share your story and experiences and be given ‘homework’ when you are ready. You’ll explore and get a greater understanding of your mind body connection.

Clinical hypnotherapy
What clinical hypnotherapy can help with: Quit smoking. Reduce anxiety. Control weight. Deal with phobias.
Hypnosis is used to rewrite our negative, self-sabotaging behaviours and thoughts. When you are in a relaxed state, positive affirmations will be repeated.
