Dr. Bernadette Janczak, ND “I believe good health is a continuum, a journey we all travel. Sickness is a sign that we are out of balance, lost on the continuum of health and disease. The symptoms of illness are how the body talks to us. Clearly recognizing and reading these messages enables me, to support the body’s vital life force through treatment guiding each individual to release the blockage, restoring their balance and good health,,,, It is the light of happiness in patients eyes I want to see. I believe all who suffer from chronic diseases can still enjoy their lives if they know how to manage their illness to return to vibrant health through good nutrition, lifestyle changes and avoidance of exposure to harmful toxins”. Bernadette Janczak. is a Naturopathic Doctor and practicing naturopathic medicine for 20 years. After graduation she has worked in her private naturopathic practice many years. In 2015 she joined Zawada Health to continue to serve her patients. She is transitioning to her own practice again as of October 1, 2020 and she is very excited to start The green Heart Naturopathic Clinic. She studied medicine in Poland and worked as a Registered Nurse for 10 years. She developed a passion for naturopathic medicine ever since she stepped into her first lecture on Homeopathy at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1996.” I felt that I was in the right place. Finally, everything made sense to me. My journey to learn about restoring health began”. She refuses to focus on disease, as to her, disease is an absence of health.
