Hi! I am Dr. Erica Costabile and I am a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario. I graduated from Laurier University in 2017 with a Double Major degree in Biology and Chemistry and won an award for the Best Written Chemistry Thesis! I graduated university with an open-mind of wanting to get into the field of medicine, but was unsure of which path to take. As I lived in Italy as an Au Pair, I developed a major interest in healing from a natural approach. The longer I lived abroad, the more I learned about the world of Naturopathic Medicine and the importance of healing from the root cause. Soon after, I applied to the Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in North York. Throughout my time seeing patients, I have grown an increased interest in women’s health, skin, and digestion as the connection between them is so impactful to daily life. My goal is to find the root cause and provide a combination of diet, lifestyle, and preventative approaches to help achieve all health goals, in a way that fits you best.

When I’m away from the clinic, you can find me snuggling up with my dog Turbo or at home in my “lab” creating all natural skincare products and candles for my small business, Barely There Skincare. It’s rare to find me relaxing, but when I do, I seek out hiking, shopping, and going to the cottage.

Qualifications and Certifications:

Honours Bachelor of Science; Double Major in Biology & Chemistry – Wilfrid Laurier University

Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine – Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine

Cosmetic Acupuncture and Facial Rejuvenation Certificate

Member of the OAND and CAND

Hi, I am Dr. Denise. I am a Naturopathic Doctor, wife, mama of Charlotte and Lucas and Co-Founder of Abaton Integrative Medicine. On the rare occasion I can find a few minutes to myself, you will find me at home with my family binge watching Netflix, glass of Cabernet in hand, taking a little too much advantage of online sales.

I became a Naturopathic Doctor to educate my patients on how they can optimize their health and the health of their family. My passion lies in supporting the health of future generations and because of this I have completed additional training in prenatal and pediatric care, environmental medicine, hormonal and digestive health. My treatment philosophy is assessing the body as a whole and providing a customized treatment plan that focuses on current health concerns, prevention, lifestyle, diet and overall general health goals. My comprehensive approach to practicing means I am able to utilize the various modalities of Naturopathic Medicine, allowing for an individualized treatment protocol.

I am extremely passionate about my work, which makes me a student for life. I also love connecting and meeting new people so you will find me participating in community events. If you ever catch me out at an event or at one of my favourite local restaurants (as my hubby and I are foodies) don’t hesitate to say hello!

I look forward meeting you and accompanying you as you embrace the benefits of leading a holistic and healthy lifestyle.

Hi, I’m Melissa!

If you’re struggling with your mental and/or physical health. I’ve been there and I get it. I experienced the perfect storm of events that led to me living with chronic illness and a multitude of symptoms for years.

The good news? I healed myself and changed my life, and now my passion is helping as many people as possible do the same because I know what the body is capable of. The truth is, your body has all that it needs to heal. I’m just there to help facilitate and reconnect you to your inner wisdom.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University and went on to be certified as an Integrative Mental Health Coach at the Nickerson Institute. I also have certifications in the Spinal Flow Technique, Subconscious Release Technique and Emotional Freedom Technique.

What I now know is that anyone struggling with their health has something in common - a build up of physical, chemical and/or emotional stress in their bodies. These layers of stress create blockages in the spine which, over time, lead to pain, illness and disease.

Spinal Flow Technique is a powerful healing modality that uses gentle touch on the nervous system to reconnect the body to its innate intelligence (its life force energy) so that layers of stress release, blockages dissolve, and ease and wellness expand in the body.

This is used in conjunction with health coaching to produce rapid positive changes, and to prevent re-creating the same stressors that led to illness in the first place.

The body doesn’t need “fixing” because it is so clever! Once we reconnect it to its innate intelligence and remove the interference, healing can unfold naturally.

Curious how this can help you? Book a complimentary 15-minute spinal assessment or pop by and say hello. I’d love to meet you to determine if Spinal Flow is right for you.

Hello! My name is Stephanie Zelembaba and I am a Naturopathic Doctor and co-owner of Abaton Integrative Medicine. My sister, Denise Handscomb, and I envisioned a healing space where patients would feel like they were at home, and it is great to see this come to light at Abaton.

My goal as a health care provider is to empower individuals and families to take charge of their health and strive for optimal health. You can often hear me in appointment saying that just because something is common, does not mean it is normal; just because you hear everyone else has XYZ symptom, that doesn’t mean you need to suffer through and accept this symptom. I want patients to feel that they are being heard, that their questions are answered and that they are confident in the decisions they are making for themselves and their family. I love working with pregnancy and post-partum, pediatrics and women’s health from digestion to stress to hormones and everything in between.

In part of loving what I do, I am continuously learning and developing my skills. I have additional certifications and qualifications in Therapeutic Prescribing, IVIT Certified, Naturopathic Doula training and am a HypnoBirthing Childbirth Educator.
