Dr. Samantha Petrin is fascinated by the mental emotional body and its innate wisdom. She has seen how trauma is stored in the body and manifests as physical dysfunction. Her approach to healing focuses on building resilience and increasing one's capacity to be with themselves. She finds hands-on therapy to offer the most direct benefit through relaxing the nervous system and helping the body heal itself from physical dysfunction. She is continuing to learn somatic based counselling practices and implement them in her patient visits.
She runs a general practice, with a passion and focus on mental health. She is particularly excited when helping patients with anxiety, nervous system dysregulation, and digestive issues. She has additional training in Craniosacral Therapy and offers this as a therapeutic modality for nervous system regulation. Her scope of practice includes clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling. botanical medicine, physical examinations, PAP testing, physical medicine, acupuncture. laboratory & diagnostic testing, craniosacral therapy.
Outside of the clinic she enjoys acrobatics, breathwork, meditation, and listening to the calming waves at the beach.
