Meridian Wellness Open House
On Saturday May 8th, we held our 5th anniversary Open House. Despite the cold, wind, rain and yes, even snow(!) that day, we had a great turnout of wonderful patients and a number of new faces that showed up to share in our celebration. Mayor Dave Barrow also attended the event and participated in the different health learning stations we had…he topped it off with a relaxing 15 min chair massage from Troy.
Congratulations to Wayne Beker, the Grand Prize winner of the 8GB Ipod Nano as well as the other winners of donated prizes from Starbucks, Anytime Fitness, Hair Point Salon, Natura, Metagenics and BodyPlus.
We look forward to improving the health and lives of individuals and families in Richmond Hill/Oak Ridges in the years to come!
Take Part…Plant a Tree on Earth Day!
For Earth Day, April 22nd, 2010, the Meridian Wellness team was at Richmond Green Park (Leslie & Elgin Mills) planting trees in conjunction with the Town of Richmond Hill. Local school children also took part in this event where we planted a total of 500 trees that day. It was a perfect sunny day to get out and enjoy nature.

Dr. Keith volunteers at the Habitat for Humanity building homes
On Saturday, November 14th, Dr. Keith volunteered at the Habitat for Humanity build on Hainford St. in Scarborough.
60 homes are in their final phase of construction, and Dr. Keith had an opportunity to lay down laminate flooring on the first floor of one house. Other crew members that day performed jobs such as painting, trim work and subfloor preparation. The deadline for this site development is December 2009 and there is still much work to be completed! If you are interested in volunteering your time and hands, go to their website for more info: http://www.torontohabitat.on.ca/web/help_out.aspx
No experience is necessary as there is something for everyone if you are willing to learn and enjoy working with others. Volunteers are organized into small groups (i.e. Crews), led by Crew Leaders who are volunteers with construction knowledge and experience. Keep in mind that the most important thing is a positive attitude, enthusiasm, flexibility and a sense of humour. Whatever the activity may be, it is essential to the success of the build. Each piece fits together to ensure the final outcome is an amazing one.
Natural Flu & Immunity Clinic at Meridian Wellness starts in November
The flu season is upons us and with both H1N1 and seasonal flu viruses to worry about, it is important more than ever to maintain optimal immune health for you and your family. Flu viruses mutate constantly, producing new strains from year to year such as the current H1N1 flu strain. We are also aware that a strong immune system is paramount in fighting off any viruses, and that a weakened immune system allows for the growth of bacterial and viral microorganisms. With this in mind, we have developed a NATURAL FLU PREVENTION PROGRAM that is based on the principles of natural medicine whereby the body’s natural defenses are supported in order to survive the winter months this year.
In response to a large number of inquiries from our patients about H1N1 vaccination and natural ways to prevent the flu, Meridian Wellness naturopaths, Drs. Misa & Jennifer, will be offering a special NATURAL FLU PREVENTION PROGRAM for all Richmond Hill, Aurora, and King City residents starting November 1st. This program is for the whole family, from infants to adults and especially useful for pregnant or lactating women.
Dr. Misa will also be offering the same program for employees at her corporate wellness clinic on-site at the Canadian Tire Corporation (Head Office & Retail City).
Your half-hour session will include:
1) An individualized assessment of your immune health status, including testing of pH and zinc levels.
2) Personalized advice about supplements for flu prevention and treatment of flu.
3) Lifestyle/dietary recommendations and education information about the influenza virus.
4) A natural flu “shot” – an oral dose of PASCOLEUCYN FORTE, a product that has been shown to help prevent and treat flu symptoms. It can be used in children and adults, and is an effective complement to the H1N1/seasonal flu vaccine or an alternative for people who cannot get the vaccine due to egg allergy.
The cost of this session is reimbursable through most extended health plans under naturopathic coverage. Booking an appointment on-line is easy! Simply click here (http://www.meridianwellness.ca/book-an-appointment.php) and our office assistant will be happy to assist you and answer any questions you may have.

2009 Richmond Hill Heritage Village Festival
An overcast and cool morning gave away to a beautiful sunny afternoon at this year’s festival which took place on Saturday, June 13th along Yonge Street between Major Mackenzie Drive and Crosby Avenue.
Drs. Keith and Misa as well as Troy our massage therapist were there to meet local residents to discuss their health concerns and what treatment options we have available at our clinic.
Troy was very busy giving complimentary 10 minute massages…in total he treated 40 people who all walked away with big smiles on their faces!
We raffled off two prizes this year: a pair of Blue Jays tickets for a game against the Boston Red Sox on August 19th and a one hour massage treatment with Troy. Our lucky winners this year were Donna Harris and Philip Thomas! Congratulations!

A Happy Patient Shares
“I had suffered for 6 years trying chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, physio therapy and prescription drugs. I had a pinched sciatic nerve and the CT scan of my spine showed facet joint osteoarthrosis, concentric disc bulging and osteophyte formation. Surgery was recommended but I opted to deal with the pain at that time. A co-worker told me about laser therapy and, after a few weeks of putting it off, I finally made an appointment to see Dr. Tse. The rest is history. I could feel the improvement. Laser therapy and regular core stability exercises recommended by Dr. Tse have made a world of difference. I would definitely recommend laser therapy and Dr. Tse. You have nothing to lose but the pain.”
