Dr. Candace is the Naturopathic Doctor at Thrive Chiropractic and Wellness Centre! Dr. Candace knows what it’s like to want a healthier version of the current you. In her late teens and early twenties, she experienced her own hormonal and menstrual concerns. With the help of naturopathic medicine, she was able to improve her hormonal concerns and feel even better than she did before.
While she knew she wanted to go into the medical field, the naturopathic approach to health aligned with her values of supporting the body, figuring out the underlying cause and contributing factors and taking into account mental, emotional and physical aspects. She knew that this was the field for her.
Her desire to work with women is driven by recognizing and appreciating the vitality women experience when we feel healthy, connected to ourselves and a community and what we can accomplish when we’re thriving.
She is passionate about helping women who are struggling with their hormones, period-related problems and gynecological issues reduce the worry, have a greater understanding and connection to their body and get back to the things they love.

Cora’s journey with CranioSacral Therapy began 2 decades ago. She volunteered to be a practice body for a massage therapist who had just taken a cranio course. After just a few minutes of touch-in at her feet, Cora’s entire body settled into a state of deep relaxation. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before, and it left a profound impression on her. Shortly after that experience, her mother was involved in an accident that included physical trauma to her arm and head. Upon discharge from hospital, she continued to have debilitating migraines and vertigo. Cora remembered cranio, and found a practitioner to treat her mom. She had a total of 3 treatments, and after the first treatment, there was dramatic improvement in her symptoms Overall, those 3 sessions were undeniably pivotal in her mom’s recovery from that trauma.
Many years later, with her youngest child graduating high school, and facing an empty nest and a new chapter in her own life, Cora felt called to pursue certification in CranioSacral Therapy. This work has completely changed how she views Life, and Health, and the human Body, and has allowed her to connect deeply to the wonder and mystery of how we come to be, how we grow and develop, and how our body is always adapting and responding to maintain overall function. Every Biodynamic CranioSacral session allows her to witness the innate wisdom in our bodies, and how experiences that initially involved overwhelm become more fully integrated when the system has access to space and safety. We humans are social, relational beings, and the therapeutic contact of this hands-on modality communicates a sense of “you are not alone in this” which has a dramatic impact on the nervous system. Cora feels deeply honoured and humbled to be able to offer cranio experiences to others, and to witness clients coming into a deeper connected sense of their own body and vitality.
