Practicing for nearly 3 decades has given me the privilege to work in many different settings.

After moving to Alberta in 1998, I began to make professional connections and started my practice in a small, mulit-disciplinary clinic. I was so grateful to be able to blend part time Naturopathic doctoring with mothering my young baby. And today, I am so honoured to say that I have many of the patients and families that I helped in those early days still with me.

In those early years, I had another son and my little family expanded;  so practicing from home was the next evolution of my practice. 

Eventually, I outgrew a home clinic. It was a little chaotic as you can imagine and so I found a space close to home where I could expand my practice, maintain professionalism and be available to my family easily.

And then about 10 years later I felt the call to be in a multidisciplinary clinic again. I was longing to have more interaction with my peers and colleagues.

But in 2020, it was time for me to go back out on my own again. Dr Kieran Avlonitis, my son, was training to be a Naturopathic Doctor and I was ready to set the stage for a practice together in a central location in Calgary.

It was also the start of the Pandemic. And it became very obvious to me that I needed to have more innovative and effective therapies available to support my patients. So the clinic was designed with that in mind.

And that has been the latest evolution of Radiant Health and Wellness. We have a welcoming and comfortable clinic in the SW of Calgary, with an IV suite and consult rooms for history taking, evaluation, assessment and treatment of our patients. 

We have 3 NDs and a Registered Nurse in the clinic and we love to support our patients in their journey to their optimal health. Together, we create an environment where the excitement, enthusiasm and leading edge therapies offered by the younger generation of NDs is combined with my 3 decades of experience and continued education and training. 

The next phase to come? Well that is another expansion and evolution. And within the next 2 years we will have expanded the size of our clinic; but our focus will remain the same: to deliver leading edge integrative Naturopathic medical treatment to our patients with compassionate and patient-centred care. 

Our goal is to have the best Integrative Naturopathic medical and Oncology Clinic in Alberta. The foundations of 3 decades of knowledge and experience will still be present but our expansion into Oncotherm, Weberneedle Endo Laser and Red light therapy among other leading edge treatments will offer patients the best and broadest treatment available for any of the conditions they are concerned with.
