👋Hi. I’m Dr. Tonia Winchester.
I’m a Naturopathic Doctor and a Mind-Body Healing Coach.
I'm obsessed with helping people create healthy habits for their bodies, minds, hearts, and lives.
I blend naturopathic principals with contemporary neuroscience to help people reprogram their minds so they’re ready and able to reach their health goals.
As A Result You... Change Your Mind So You Can Change Your Health And Life.

What does it take to change your habits and your wellness?
This is question I've been asking myself since becoming licensed as a Naturopathic Doctor in 2007. And I've finally cracked the nut 🥜.
Simply, you just need to change how your brain is wired. Easy, right? 😆
I used to think this was nearly impossible... but now I know this type of change is not only possible, plausible, and also very doable... in a relatively short amount of time.
I work with people who are stressed, anxious, restless, not sleeping, tired, exhausted, and irritable. They are often overwhelmed and underwhelmed.. miraculously simultaneously.
They are often stuck in what I call the Insomnia or Burnout Cycle.
I help these people to release the painful imprint of the past that was previously keeping you locked in your own negative thought patterns and unhelpful habits.
These mind-body changes put your intelligent system back in healing mode. And not just physically. Also energetically. Mentally. Emotionally. ALL.OF.IT.
The clients I work with are easily able to calm their minds, sleep deeply, wake rested, and enjoy happy energized days. All with out talk therapy or medications.
Programmed for good things like PEACE. JOY. ENERGY. 💗
As a result, they carry less. Focus. Hone in on what's important. Primed to create meaningful changes in you finally sustain the healthy habits that help you reach your wellness goals. Relationships deepen. Life improves. Doors open.
You get back to things you enjoy: art, exploring, dance, nature, adventures.
Ultimately you build an exceptional life for yourself, your family and your community.
🍨Yes please. I'll have another scoop of that, how about you?
I'm here to Help you experience maximal joy, energy, and vitality.
💗🧠💫
I truly believe that healthy, happy people doing what they love contribute to a more peaceful world, and we might just be meeting...and I want you to be one of those people.
If you're looking for deep and enduring change in how you respond to the world and how your amazing body can heal for you... then lets get to know each other.
Your first best step is to read (click image below):
I love working with people who are interested in
getting to the root cause of illness.
And not only getting to the root cause, but getting the root cause out, so that the body has no choice but to cause wellness.
While remedies and supplements are helpful to catalyze healing, I believe the fundamental cause of disease (or bad habits that cause dis-ease) is how stress from our past and our present blocks our ability to go back into healing mode.
I’m very good at asking very good questions that help you unlock unconscious blocks that have been keeping you stuck in uncomfortable and even painful patterns… on all levels… physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and sometimes even spiritually.
What I find working with clients is that when we change how the unconscious mind remembers past events and discharge the emotion out of those experiences, your bodymind will easily go back into healing mode.
And this is all possible without drugs, natural remedies, or even talk therapy.
The benefit? You:
have less pain and suffering
release weight (I’m a testament to that**)
enjoy more energy
look after yourself first so you can look after the ones you love sustainably, with out resentment
feel calm, safe and at peace
fill your life with joy and purpose
choose to make all your dreams come true……
and get on with your delightful, thriving life.

The Process I Take My Clients Through Is Called A BREAKTHROUGH.
I've been through the process SIX times as a client, so I can speak truly and personally about how transformative it is.
For example… since being a client of this work my body released 15 22 30 40 50 60 pounds of stress-related weight she had been holding on to for 6 years.
Easily. Effortlessly. Suddenly she didn’t need to keep that weight any more… she was safe with out it,
so it just melted away.
I also have healed a lifetime of inebriatingly painful periods, where I would vomit most cycles, and be bed-ridded for 3 days, not being able to hold any food down.
Sleep deeply, restoratively, soundly through the night with out nightmares, with out being awake for several hours staring at the clock.
A bit More About Me...
I WAS A SICK BABY
I had pseudo-meningitis as an infant, constant ear infections and eczema as a child, a rare form of mono as a teen, and regular skin staph infections – one of which put me in quarantine in the hospital on IV antibiotics.
The doctors were glad I didn’t end up going blind. And so am I.
At age 10, I declared my desire to be a pediatrician. I wanted to help kids get better so they could have tons of fun.
However, through my teenage health challenges, I became disenchanted with the conventional medical system. I was shuffled out of doctors’ offices with prescriptions meant to fill the empty hole I felt for not being heard.
Nobody could tell me why I was so sick, or offer any good, long-term solutions.
And I had an inkling that taking good care of myself would be more effective and actually simpler than I thought.
I Decided To
Change Paths.
My family didn't know anything about alternative medicine, so I was never exposed to different and exciting healing ideas until grade 12 when I was introduced to natural and complementary medicine 🤯
I immediately knew that this new way of seeing and working in health care would allow me to help people in the meaningful way I wanted – finding the deeper reasons for their health problems and resolving them at the root.
My eczema healed when I started drinking 2 litres of water per day and when I changed universities so I could be dancing more.
One act of self-care and one act of self-honesty healed 10 years of skin rashes.
This is what I realized:
⬇️⬇️⬇️
Our Bodies Have An
Amazing Capacity to Heal.
⬆️⬆️⬆️
They (our bodies) are constantly trying to get our attention with our physical and emotional symptoms. Sometimes we just don’t know how to listen or what to do with what we hear.
That’s where our work together comes in. Consider me your wellness ally.
After 5 years of university, and another 4 years at a naturopathic medical college, I’ve been in practice as a Naturopathic Doctor since 2007 and Master Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and coach since 2021.
This is the sweet spot of wholistic medicine: reprogramming the mind for healing... so the body can... well... HEAL!
Seriously. This is the good stuff and I can't get enough of it! Nor do I want to.
My Super Powers
I am a safe, non-judgmental space. People consistently tell me, “I feel so comfortable around you. I’ve never told anyone this before.”
I have a knack for empowering and inspiring people to discover and recover from the underlying causes of even their most mysterious health problems.
I love helping people establish healthy, enduring habits that facilitate continuous, positive changes in their lives.
I am very good at asking very good questions. I think I mentioned that one.
I imagine we're going to laugh together. That's one I'm exceptionally good at.
I believe that we're the ones in charge of making all our dreams come true and I have a way of rubbing off on the people I work with. Soon you may believe that too.
Professional Bio
When Tonia was 10 years old she decided she no longer wanted to be a marine biologist. What she wanted was to be a pediatrician so she could help kids get healthy and have a ton of fun.
However through her own health challenges as a teen she realized that mainstream medicine didn’t have the deeper answers she was looking for.
At age 17 she discovered her calling – alternative medicine. After graduating from Simon Fraser University (where she majored in Kinesiology and minored in contemporary dance) Tonia studied for another 4 years at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine.
Now As a Master Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) coach and practitioner, she guides her clients through a Breakthrough process that allows them to release painful imprints of the past, and be primed – neurologically – to find joy, peace, and energy in the present moment.
She proudly ran a multi-disciplinary clinic called Tonic Naturopathic in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, BC for 6 years before choosing to focus on her mind-body healing & coaching work.
She believes that healthy, happy people doing what they love, contributes to a more peaceful world.
One such person called her, “The Body Whisperer,” and another credits her for, “Recreating my life.”
Dr. Tonia is the author of Break Through The Insomnia Cycle: How to Sleep Deeply, Wake Rested and Enjoy Happy Energized Days. (Grab your copy by clicking the image below and more books coming soon)!
She’s been featured on CTV Island News, CHLY radio, and various health and spirituality blogs such as Conscious Nutrition, Real Foods Witch, and The Elephant Journal. She also loves being a podcast guest
When she’s not inspiring people to live their healthiest, most delightful life, she is walking her talk, salsa dancing and teaching, turning paper into pretty things, and spending time with her greatest teacher, Nature.
