Roxanne is a Certified Medical Support Clinical Hypnotherapist (CMS-CHt), having completed over 400 hours of comprehensive training at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America. This extensive program includes specialized instruction in anatomy, physiology, and hypnotherapy techniques for accelerated healing, pain control, surgical preparation, post-procedural recovery, and childbirth. She is a Fellow of the International Board of Hypnotherapy (IBH), which upholds rigorous standards for certification and continuing education.

What is Hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy utilizes the natural state of hypnosis to access the subconscious mind, facilitating positive change and promoting healing. Hypnosis is a trance-like state that individuals experience naturally—such as becoming absorbed in a book or driving a familiar route without conscious recollection. In this receptive state, the mind is more open to helpful suggestions and therapeutic interventions.

Hypnotherapy has been used in many areas, including: • Pain management • Weight loss • Childbirth • Coping with trauma and grief • Enhancing personal growth • Overcoming phobias • Accelerating healing • Smoking cessation

With an open mind and dedication, the possibilities for transformation through hypnotherapy are extensive.

André MacNair is an Osteopathic Manual Therapist who provides care across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood and into older age. His approach is grounded in the core osteopathic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the relationship between structure and function. Treatment is always tailored to the individual, with attention to how the whole body contributes to health, pain, and recovery.

André works with a wide range of concerns, including chronic and acute pain, sports-related injuries, motor vehicle accidents, TMJ dysfunction, and functional issues involving the digestive and urogenital systems. His treatments focus on identifying and addressing neuromuscular and structural imbalances using appropriate hands-on osteopathic techniques.

Initial appointments typically include a thorough case history, visual observation, range-of-motion assessment, and orthopedic and osteopathic testing to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. When applicable, André may also recommend simple exercises or self-care strategies to support rehabilitation and long-term improvement.

Central to André’s practice is the osteopathic understanding that the body functions as an integrated whole. By assessing how different systems interact, he identifies underlying contributors to pain or dysfunction. He supports the body’s natural capacity for balance and healing, either through treatment or by guiding patients toward additional care when necessary.

Dr. Jessica Beatty, BSc., ND Naturopathic Doctor, Integrative Oncology

Dr. Jessica Beatty, ND, is a naturopathic doctor focused on integrative oncology, providing supportive and complementary care for patients living with cancer. Integrative oncology is a unique approach involving the use of natural medicine to augment your conventional oncology team recommendations. Care is taken to avoid negative interactions between the two types of medicine. Integrative oncology is an approach combining the best of both worlds of cancer treatment to support your wellbeing at every stage, from diagnosis and active treatment through to recovery and survivorship.

Licensed with:

• The Manitoba Naturopathic Association (MNA)
• The Manitoba Alliance of Naturopathic Doctors (MAND)
• The Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND)
• The Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP)

Educational Background: Dr. Beatty completed her undergraduate degree in pre-medical science at the University of Winnipeg before earning her naturopathic medical degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM), Boucher Campus, graduating in 2011. Her advanced clinical training is directly relevant to integrative cancer care and includes Intravenous Therapy, Ozone Therapy, and Loco-Regional Hyperthermic Therapy. She is also certified to provide Intravenous Chelation Therapy, Central Venous Access, and Neural Prolotherapy.

Philosophy of Care: “The symptom you are experiencing is your body’s way of communicating that there is an imbalance. My job is to help navigate the root of that imbalance and help your body achieve wellness.”

Integrative Oncology at Via Natural Medicine: Integrative oncology combines evidence-informed natural medicine with conventional cancer care. Dr. Beatty’s role is supportive and complementary. She does not replace the care of your medical oncologist or surgical team. She works alongside it. Her focus is on supporting your strength, comfort, and quality of life during conventional treatment, and on helping you feel as well as possible through recovery.

A central part of her practice is safety. She reviews potential interactions between natural products and your conventional treatment, so that any supportive therapies you use are appropriate and do not interfere with your medical care.

A Personalized, Test-Informed Approach: Dr. Beatty tailors supportive care to the individual rather than applying a single protocol. Where appropriate, she uses advanced testing to personalize her recommendations, including individualized blood work, circulating tumour cell DNA testing, and genetic chemosensitivity assessment through DATAR Labs. This test-informed approach lets supportive care be matched to each patient’s specific situation.

Supportive Therapies: Working alongside conventional treatment, Dr. Beatty offers a range of supportive therapies, including but not limited to:

• Personalized dietary and nutritional strategies
• Counselling on drug, nutrient, and herbal interactions
• Intravenous therapies, including but not limited to high-dose vitamin C, artesunate, nutritional repletion, and ozone (Major autohemotherapy)
• European mistletoe therapy
• Loco-Regional Hyperthermia

Areas of Focus: Dr. Beatty focuses on:

• Supportive care during chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery
• Wellbeing and quality of life through active treatment
• Nutritional and dietary support for patients undergoing cancer care
• Safe, coordinated use of natural medicine alongside conventional treatment
• Prevention and risk-reduction strategies
• Survivorship and recovery support

Working Together: Dr. Beatty welcomes patients at any stage of their cancer journey and is glad to coordinate with your existing medical and oncology team. Her practice is open to all and requires no referral.

Personal Life: Outside of her professional life, Dr. Beatty is deeply rooted in her Winnipeg community, where she lives with her husband and three children. An advocate for living in harmony with nature, she enjoys gardening, crafting natural soaps, and spending time outdoors. She is also an enthusiastic beginner tennis player and encourages everyone to take up a new sport, no matter their age or athletic ability.
