Dr Elisabeth Bastos BSc, ND, RAcu, has operated her health clinic since 2005 in the Cambridge, Puslinch / Guelph region. Her family has lived part time in Kincardine for many years and now has moved to Kincardine permanently with her husband and 2 children. She is happy to now be serving at her new clinic location in beautiful Kincardine starting Jan 2024.
Elisabeth is a Board certified Naturopathic Doctor since 2005, and member of the Ontario College of Naturopathic Doctors. She is also Board certified as an acupuncturist, with the college of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists of Ontario.
The Acupuncture Clinic Dr. Bastos ND runs has a large focus on pain treatment and prevention including injury, arthritis and headaches, nerve rehab, fertility enhancement, sleep difficulty, anxiety, depression and stress treatment. There are approaches for all ages including needle-less treatment techniques using electrical stimulation or acupuncture sticker tacks.
As a Nutritional Therapist and Naturopath, Elisabeth understands how one man’s food is another man’s poison. Intolerance, Sensitivity and allergy testing are available.
Dr Bastos ND is medically trained and naturally focused, using functional medicine lab and exam approaches to ensure your body is looked at as a whole. Consultation aims at restoring normal organ/body function and healing ability versus a band aid approach. Albeit, suffering relief is part of the treatments available also.
She is a professional member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors.
“I love seeing individuals and families empowered with education and root cause solutions. My objective is to be thorough and restore proper function to the body and mind using a variety of evidence based tests, assessments and treatments. Suffering relief can be important however it’s best when we aim to restore the body’s self regulation. Ideally we are not dependent on any one product long term.”
She has authored literature including the Intolerance Free Simplified Recipe Book (sold on amazon and barns and noble). You can find her two peer reviewed case studies in the USA based NDNR journal (links below)
