Dr. DesChatelets helped me to identify the root cause of my pain and digestive issues. I went to so many clinics and saw specialists with no progress for many years. After seeing her for 6 months, I am now pain-free. She listens to me attentively and answers every single question every time I see her. She is knowledgeable and open-minded and make sure I understand her treatment plans and adjust it whenever needed. Her warm and genuine personality is a treasure. She really cares and seeks the best for me and rejoiced with me when we got the results! She is very thoughtful and gave me the minimal supplements needed at each stage. She gives me detailed summary and supplements information each time. I recommended her to all my friends and will continue to do so. Thank you so much, Dr. DesChatelets!!

By far the best care I've received in BC since moving here two years ago. She's been able to balance my hormones, help me manage insomnia and chronic pain, and straighten out my diet. She also happens to be incredibly knowledgeable and kind. Would highly recommend.

I was struggling with seasonal and mold related allergies that were progressively getting worse year after year. I had tried over the counter options and had also consulted with an Allergy Specialist. The only option left was to go for weekly injections. However this wasn't going to work with my schedule and I didn't want to have to go to the Dr's office weekly for 30 minute appointments. I had read about the SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy) approach and googled where it was available in the lower mainland. This led me to Dr. Melanie DesChatelets clinic. I am so thankful that she offers SLIT. It has made an amazing difference in my health/life. I have been using it for 10 months now and the results thus far have been incredible. I know it will only continue to improve as I continue to move through this treatment process. Thank you Dr. Melanie for offering this natural and effective solution!

Dr. Des Chantelets has been a god sent for me. When I came to her, I was in constant pain from a car accident, depressed, and on an SSRI. She successfully helped me get off the SSRI, and I am even happier than when I was on it! She has done a number of pain relief techniques on me as well. They have offered the most relief out of anything else I have tried. I have and would recommend her to anyone!

I highly recommend Dr Melanie. She is very friendly and kind, she answered all my questions and always had a smile that comforted me.
She solved an allergy problem that I had for more than two years ago. She helped me to identify the root of the problem and not only relieve the external symptoms.
I was pregnant and she took care not only to cure my allergies but also to ensure I was getting all the nutrients needed for me and the baby. She prescribed vitamins and natural complements to combat some side effects of pregnancy, and to ensure I had good results in all my prenatal exams.

Dr.Melanie has cared for my husband and I for two years now. She is knowledgeable,tries to find out the root of the problem and most important, she takes the time to listen to the symptoms we
are experiencing.At the end pf every session she makes us feel that we are not just "patient number...." but people she cares for.

Melanie has demonstrated the ability to talk to the patient in their language. For instance, she wouldn't talk basics to a person who is familiar with naturopathy. but will respect a person who comes from the world of coca cola and chips and work with the them on their lifestyle change gradually. I have been her patient for two years and she has helped me identify triggers for my repeating sinus infections and get me off antibiotics. I also referred a friend suffering from high blood pressure, and he is very content working with her, though he was sceptical about naturopathy. You can get her full attention and expect a thorough explanation, supported by visual presentations. She makes full use of technologies available, e.g., I like being able to access my file electronically and to have a video appointment from the comfort of your home which helps when you are feeling too bad to drive yourself to the clinic. And the last, but not the least - I like her honesty about the extent to which she can help, which is quite rare in this world of marketing.

After 4 years of living Gluten Free (celiac since 2009), I started having some symptoms that resembled the ones I used to have when I ate wheat and some others that I couldn’t explain. Dr Mélanie looked at me as a whole and not only looked at the symptoms individually. It was progressive and not aggressive, all natural. My overall experience was excellent. I was a bit frustrated after 4 weeks of an elimination diet with very little results, and as soon as I started taking the herbs as the next step, my symptoms disappeared and I feel so good. I would absolutely recommend her to other, I had a very positive experience. I have more energy, I feel I have control over my sensitivities. Fantastic experience, amazing what I learnt about myself and how I can positively influence my well being with simple easy to follow guidelines.

I saw Dr. DesChatelets when she was an intern at the Robert Chad Naturopathic Clinic in Toronto. I went to see her to help me with digestive issues related to food sensitivities. Prior to seeing Melanie, I had gone to 3 different gastrointestinal specialists, one among the best in Ontario, and had little to no impact on solving my issues. Dr. DesChatelets was able to diagnose and repair my digestive tract- having significant results in only a matter of months. I kept on her dietary and supplementary regime for over a year and continue to eat accordingly and now enjoy just about all foods this world has to offer.
