Samantha Petrin

My name is Dr. Samantha Petrin. I am a naturopathic doctor with a focus on mental health and gut health.

I am fascinated by the mental-emotional body and its innate wisdom. I have seen how trauma can be stored deep in the body and manifest itself as physical and emotional dysfunction. My trauma-informed approach to healing focuses on building resilience and increasing one's capacity to be. To be in the present moment, to be in the physical body, to be embodied. I find hands-on therapy offers the most direct benefit through relaxing the nervous system and helping the body to ultimately heal itself. I have training in craniosacral therapy and acupuncture and am continuing to learn somatic based counselling practices and implementing them into patient visits.
