Pascaline Phillips: Renegade Ex-Naturopath

.

You are here to embark on your healing journey or to recalibrate the path that you’re on. My goal is to meet you where you are and work with you, to eliminate the dis-ease that is holding you back from an abundant and joyful life.

I am currently welcoming new patients into my Picton practice.

As a highly experienced holistic practitioner, with over 20 years as a Naturopathic Doctor, I have helped countless patients in healing and recovering from inflammatory ailments such as digestive problems and microbial overgrowth, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. I also have years of experience helping patients to overcome cancer – whether it’s as a complementary treatment or an entirely holistic approach.

Approach

Striving to understand each patient’s unique health situation – through a detailed intake, a homeopathic case-taking, and physical testing – are major elements in designing an efficacious treatment. That, and the fact that I have always been uncompromising in  treating my patients. Whether it is to recommend an optimal dosage or brand of vitamins and other supplements. Or the need to clearly communicate to my patients what is harming them – whether it is prescription drugs or vaccines – I have never held back on my commitment to doing what is best for my patients’ health.

I enjoy working with people at all stages of their lives – from infants to children to adults as well as older, wiser humans.

I also love to work with and help your animals achieve their best health. These beautiful four-legged companions of ours deserve the same health focus that we seek for ourselves. We can do so much better than what the current paradigm provides for them. With poor nutrition and over-medicalization, their lifespan has been appallingly reduced from decades ago.

Services

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy is the use of minute doses of natural substances to stimulate our self-healing capacities. This is one of the most gentle yet powerful and deeply effective forms of medicine.

BOTANICAL MEDICINE

Herbs support and improve organ and endocrine function, to balance hormones and the immune system, and to treat any acute conditions such as allergies and asthma.

NUTRITION AND DIET

Nutritional Health through diet is one of the most impactful and deeply acting modalities. Dietary changes improve general well-being, nutritional balance and detoxify.

CRYSTAL ACUPUNCTURE AND REIKI

Crystal ‘acupuncture’ is the placing of specific crystals / stones on acupuncture points.

Once in place, the stones activate vortexes, drawing out any negative energies that need to be released. This process detaches years of trauma, programming, ancestral binds, as well as entity attachment. It is not uncommon to have entities – we have so many pockets of energy stuck to us – whether it’s an argument or something that shook us and stayed with us. It’s also not uncommon to have entity or spirit attachment, as these tend to slip in while we are experiencing trauma. 

Releasing trauma is one of the most profound gifts that we can experience.

COUNSELING

Optimal health centres around body and mind. Most disease is rooted in mental/emotional dysfunction.  My goal is to help you recognize those patterns and change your responses.

About Pascaline

I remember experiencing an epiphany in my mid-teens, while pondering which career path to take: I realized the best choice was to do what I’m passionate about. Back then, it was cooking. At that time I was one of only a handful of female chefs in Toronto, and I loved what I was doing. But I also knew that there was another, more fulfilling career, around the corner.

Becoming very ill after a lengthy trip through Africa finally brought me to see a Naturopathic doctor. That experience – building back my strength and health – guided me along a path of natural healing and the joy of bringing this experience to others.
I have a special focus in homeopathy, and over the years I have developed new remedies when a needed remedy does not yet exist.

Since 2017 I have written biweekly health-based articles for the National Post’s regional papers – because reaching as many people as possible to educate them around foods, environmental toxins and our body’s innate ability to heal is something that I have always been very passionate about.  

Experience

With over 20 years practicing as a naturopath, it has been time for another transition. While remaining within the healing professions, I have retired my naturopathic license, in order to move beyond a naturopathic paradigm and open up new avenues in terms of how I practice and what I offer you on your healing journey.

I can't thank Pascaline enough

“I have been going to Pascaline for over two years and in such a short time she has made such an enormously positive impact in my life. I can’t imagine where I’d be without her help.

 I had a mix of chronic fatigue, pain, anxiety, and other issues that I had just accepted as a normal part of life because that’s all I had ever known. Pascaline was able to identify some of the major underlying causes, the biggest being food intolerances and gut health. She patiently took the time to get to know me and all aspects of my life, physical, mental and spiritual, and created a personalized treatment plan that she gradually introduced to me as I implemented her recommendations into my lifestyle.

 As long as I take her advice, the majority of my issues decrease significantly. She’s also completely real and you can tell she chose this career because she genuinely wants to help people. That’s very hard to find and I feel fortunate to have found her.

 I can’t thank Pascaline enough for all she has done for me these past couple of years. I didn’t know it was possible to feel this good and I’ve been able to achieve so much more because of her.”

Michelle Di Berardinis

“Pascaline has been my naturopath for years and guiding me toward a more energetic and healthy life. It was not a question when I had children to bring them to her. Most recently my son was suffering from some new symptoms of anxiety and crippling repetition in relation to what he was worried about. Pascaline recommended a homeopathic remedy I had never heard of, and even though I was hopeful, I was also a bit doubtful in its possible effects. Well, the effects were immediate, and incredible. Our son was no longer suffering the emotional volatility that caused him to be so anxious and repeat himself, and slowly with dosing over a few weeks, the whole ordeal was behind us. That was a year ago, and we are so grateful for her guidance and expertise.”

“I am so grateful to Pascaline, our dedicated health practitioner. She has been a true lifeline for our entire family. Pascaline’s extensive knowledge, diverse expertise, and ability to think outside conventional solutions have made her an invaluable resource for us.

Over 15 years ago, I faced health issues that had stumped various medical professionals. Meeting Pascaline was a turning point. In our first session, she identified root causes and a comprehensive plan. Incredibly, within 6 weeks, a longstanding issue was successfully resolved.

This was the case for multiple issues through the years, all of which were successfully remedied. Most recently, osteoporosis (which had been steadily getting worse) has begun to improve.

I owe my well-being to Pascaline’s dedication and expertise. Her holistic approach has profoundly impacted my life and my family’s. Her prompt responsiveness, accessibility, and unwavering support provide a sense of security and confidence.

I wholeheartedly recommend Pascaline to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable, and effective partner on their path to holistic well-being.”

“I feel so blessed to have found this wonderful, caring woman when my confidence and faith in our medical system is at an all time low. After my first appointment I received a very detailed e-mail that addressed my health issues with recommendations, links for finding supplements and even recipes. She responded to my questions very quickly. With her guidance I am looking forward to a healthier, drug free me.

Thank you Pascaline”

 Rhonda P

“I cannot say enough good praises about Pascaline I believe she is a great healer and we are very blessed to have her practicing in Prince Edward County. I don’t want to compare her to other great healers doing great work because it is just not necessary. She stands on her own because she truly cares about her clients. Not only have I seen her several times and recommended her if you have any doubts just go and see her you won’t be disappointed!”

Pascaline Phillips is stalwart and steadfast [full stop]. 

Should you require further endorsement of this wise, perceptive and resourceful human, please read on…

How does one recognize a rare Soul?

Is it their boundless intelligence, is it the generosity they exude, or perhaps, it’s the way they make you feel after each encounter? 

By trusting her guidance whilst also listening to my own body’s intuition, I received a wholesome and comprehensive approach that would have otherwise not been made available to me.

If you seek someone willing to engage the intimate material and messaging your body is communicating with you (when no other professional is inclined to broach the matter), look no further.

As I shared from the very beginning, Pascaline Phillips is stalwart and steadfast”.

BH, Toronto

“Pascaline Phillips is a true healer.

Her depth of knowledge as well as her immense kindness towards her clients are unlike any I’ve received from any practitioner I’ve ever encountered. I’ve known Pascaline for almost two decades now and have dealt with both small and large health concerns, including injuries and chronic issues. I have done a large number of her cleanses and protocols and enjoyed amazing pet health recommendations.  I trust her more than anyone for all things health and feel very lucky to have her as a resource.

Pascaline is extremely easy to talk to and her recommendations are always on point and backed up by a ton of research which she always clearly communicates with her clients.  She is always providing true informed consent which I appreciate, and I’ve never known anyone that keeps so up to date with health knowledge.  She also thinks outside the box and is a true health renegade, in my opinion, which is why I’ve sent countless family members and friends to her and will continue to do so.

She is one of a kind and will be my go-to person for all things health for as long as she continues to work. I am honoured to call her my friend after all these years of working together.”

Jamie Holmes, Toronto

“My blood pressure was “high” and I didn’t want to take medications with side effects to reduce it. The individualized protocols that Pascaline prescribed for me worked!  My blood pressure is now normal.”

“I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, stage 2 in August 2020. There was no spread of the cancer, however, the medical recommendation was chemo, surgery, radiation. I opted for a mastectomy on the left breast, which found cancer cells in my lympho-vascular space, but no chemo or radiation was done.

Enter Pascaline. She immediately got me on a protocol, including diet changes, cleanses & much more. I haven’t looked back & continue to feel amazing. On a follow up with my surgeon/oncologist in 2023, she advised, due to the aggressiveness of my type of cancer, if anything was to have reared its ugly head, it would have done so by now. I’m now at 3 1/2 years later and feel amazing, thanks to Pascaline! It was her experience, knowledge and positivity that guided me through this process. Pascaline really does know her “stuff” and I never felt like I was just another faceless cancer patient to her.”

Renee

“I started to see Pascaline a number of years ago as I had lyme disease and no other doctor would believe that it was lyme.

She is the most caring practitioner I have met. Taking her time, asking questions, she was able to give me the right supplements, homeopathic medicine and advise me on the correct foods to eat so my body could heal itself.

I can say now that I am free from the lyme disease.

She has helped my mother and my grandson also.

She is not only a healthcare practitioner, but I consider her a friend. When you see her, you feel as though she is listening and cares about you. I can always trust her to do what is best for me.

thank you so much”

Marlene (Toronto)

“In 2017 a very effective message therapist recommended I see Pascaline after enduring month after month of respiratory infections. I was 53, active, and with no “apparent” health issues. My medical doctor diagnosed sinusitis and prescribed nasal sprays with the advice to “Just ride it out. It’s chronic.” I was frustrated with putting my life on hold while riding out something that never went away.

Pascaline not only spent an inordinate amount of time with me at our first appointment, delving into my history and writing page after page of notes, but genuinely listened to everything I had to say, pertinent or not. She then designed an affordable food, supplement and lifestyle plan that had me feeling better within a remarkably short time. Within weeks, I threw out the nasal sprays and inhalers as they had simply become clutter in my bathroom cupboard.

We have worked together over the ensuing years to make adjustments as I age and become exposed to different situations, foods and other curves life throws our way. I trust her wise counsel implicitly, rooted in exhaustive and ongoing research, and am ever grateful to her for the genuine interest she takes in my health. I would not be the thriving 60 year old I am today without Pascaline.”

“You are truly an inspiration to me and all the others lucky enough to be under your care, we are the fortunate ones!!  I know my body functions so much better since I became your patient.”

ML (Belleville)

“Pascaline is a gem! We were thrilled to find her through having her (highly) recommended to us. Pascaline is warm and personable, wise and magical- and very professional. Our whole families’ heath and well-being has transformed in very positive ways in a short period of time.”

 KP (Picton)

“What I appreciated most about working with Pascaline was her presence.  She listens to what you have to say and asks meaningful questions in a non-invasive manner.  Not only did I feel heard, but Pascaline was able to uncover things within myself which otherwise I would have given no attention.  Her philosophy of healing truly begins with an inside-out approach, and she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to life and health.  The recommendations and advice she’s provided have now become a lifestyle for me.  Pascaline has brought great value to my life, and I would recommend her services to anyone who is seeking a natural approach to health.”  

Mohit  (Toronto)

“Dr Pascaline has brought about a massive turn-around to my health and overall sense of wellbeing in just a matter of a few weeks. Her ability to quickly identify the underlying causes to my visible symptoms was quite remarkable. Tools and resources she offered enabled me to easily transition to a seemingly hard, healthier lifestyle. Moreover, as a person Dr Pascaline is not only kind and caring, but also carries a sparkling persona; It always feels great to meet her” 

JS  Caledon

“We were referred to Pascaline in 2012 by our family doctor when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  She supported him through that journey as well as many others.  My son and I also started to see her.

I really love that you feel “heard” by her vs at the doctor’s office.  She tries to get to the root cause of the issues vs putting a band aid on it with medications.  She is very kind and gentle and works with your needs.  I have recommended her to friends and family members.  They were all pleased and found that she really helped them and cared.  I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in an adjunct to allopathic medicine.”

Isabel, David & Ethan Weber

“I just want to say that I can’t recommend Pascaline Phillips highly enough after receiving help for the incredible pain of trigeminal neuralgia.   I couldn’t get any relief from doctors or other professionals but after going to Pascaline was completely pain free and felt like I had my life back.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do home visits?
  • I will offer in-home visits for patients with physical barriers who are unable to make it to the office. Fees are based on the standard rates. An additional $50 travel fee will apply.
Do you do virtual consultations?
  • Depending on the individual case, phone or Skype consultations may be acceptable for follow-up visits. Fees are assessed according to the standard rates (what I would charge for an in-person appointment).
  • Appointments for patients who live far from my clinics or outside of Canada are all done virtually.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
  • Your first visit is 1 ½ to 2 hours for an adult and 1 to 1 ½ hours for a child. I will take you through a detailed history and a screening physical exam. The goal in this visit is to go beyond the obvious signs and symptoms that you are experiencing to understanding the true nature of your concerns – the root cause. The source of your pain is not always the cause of your pain. I will ask questions about your general heath – both physical and mental/emotional. This is part of the way I gather information to better understand your health concerns. I find out about your past to see what effect it is having on your present state. At the end of your first visit I will offer some preliminary recommendations, such as dietary modifications, vitamin and herbal supplements, and lifestyle changes. Between your initial and follow-up appointment, I am doing research and often finding a homeopathic remedy for you. Considerable thought and work go into developing an individualized treatment plan that takes into account the whole picture of your health.
Are your services covered by insurance?
  • Since retiring my naturopathic license my services are no longer covered by healthcare benefits (insurance through your workplace).
I can’t afford to see you – do you have a payment plan?

My services are available to anyone who wants to work on their health. I do not provide pro bono work (most people do not value free stuff), however, I do offer a sliding scale to students (without health benefits), the elderly, and those who are under-employed or unemployed. This I offer on an individual basis after discussing your situation with you and what you are able to afford.
