The first step is to book a Pelvic Physiotherapy Assessment with our pessary fitter and physiotherapist Jennifer Alexander. During this appointment you will have an exam to determine if you are a good candidate for a pessary. It will involve a thorough medical history, vaginal examination (which includes a speculum exam, pelvic floor screen and a prolapse assessment where measurements of the prolapse will be taken). You will be provided with a form for your physician to complete, where he/she will screen for any medical contraindications and ensure that vaginal estrogen is not required prior to wearing your new pessary.

You will then be scheduled for a Physiotherapy Pessary Fitting Appointment. During this appointment, the physiotherapist will trial different shapes and sizes of pessaries to determine which provides an optimal fit. If we cannot determine which is the best fit during this appointment, an additional follow-up may be required. Once we find a pessary that provides an optimal fit and support, we will provide you with a referral form and information on where you can purchase the pessary.

After your pessary fitting appointment, you will need to come in for a Follow Up Pessary Fitting Appointment 4-6 weeks after wearing your pessary. We need to ensure your vaginal tissues are tolerating the pessary well.

For some patients, we can find the optimal pessary during the first fitting appointments, for others, it may take a few sessions to find the most appropriate size and shape.

Reiki (pronounced RAY-key) is an ancient Japanese practice which means ”universal” and “life energy.” It is used as a complimentary health therapy to restore balance of the mind, body, spirit and emotions. During a Reiki session, a healing universal life energy (Reiki) flows through the practitioner’s hands to the recipient to balance energy and promote overall well-being.

Jennifer holds a Kinesiology degree from McMaster University, a Bachelor of Physical Therapy from Queens University and also a Masters of Rehabilitation Sciences from Queens University. She has worked in both the private and public sector as a physiotherapist and in case management for over 12 years.

Jennifer started her journey to becoming a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist after experiencing her own pelvic floor dysfunction after the traumatic birth of her first child. Jennifer was left with anxiety, the baby blues, immense pelvic pain and was given a high risk of developing postpartum depression. Through the support of family and friends, Jennifer enrolled in counselling and was able to seek help from an out of town Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. Jennifer found that the baby blues passed, the anxiety and pain subsided, and postpartum depression never developed.

Through ongoing education in pelvic health and having an understanding of the importance of the mind and body connection, Jennifer’s second child via a scheduled caesarean was successful. Jennifer’s passion is now to educate others and help them move forward toward an improved self.

Dr. Dalton is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor in the province of Ontario. He graduated with honours from Brock University with a Bachelor of Medicine Science, following which he completed Canada’s only Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) in Toronto.

Dr. Dalton’s passion for holistic health care started when he was only 12 years of age and experienced his first naturopathic medical appointment. It was these experiences at a young age where he learned about the interconnection between mind and body and it’s implications for healing, and affirmed that Naturopathic Medicine was the profession for which he would dedicate his life studies too. These experiences would also shape the extracurriculars he would engage in – including working for and precepting with some of the best-known names in traditional medicine, including Dr. Katherine Willow, ND, and the late John Redden, RH.

Dr. Dalton has a well-rounded ‘family medicine’ practice but has developed a special focus in Women’s health to honour the strong presence of matriarchal leadership in his own life. As a self-proclaimed life-long learner, Dr. Dalton is currently continuing his education in Women’s health topics through the completion of the ‘Certified Women’s Health Practitioner’ designation for advanced study in the latest research informed approaches to the most common conditions affecting women. These include, but are not limited to: endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, post-partum, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), vulvovaginal pain disorders, peri and post menopause, thyroid disorders, gut issues, acne and hair loss.

Dr. Dalton has identified that the naturopathic medical profession lacks a common underlying platform for medical assessment, leaving many patients with undiagnosed areas for health improvement and optimization. It is his belief that a complete picture of health can be achieved through ensuring optimal nutrition, stress management, immune system assessment, gut, mitochondrial and hormonal assessment are part of every patient’s plan.
