Samantha Petrin
Dr. Samantha Petrin is fascinated by the mental emotional body and its innate wisdom. She has seen how trauma is stored in the body and manifests as physical dysfunction. Her approach to healing focuses on building resilience by creating safe spaces to process unintegrated stressful life events. She finds somatic based practices to offer the most direct benefit by working with the nervous system and helping the body heal itself from physical dysfunction.
Dr. Sam has a practice focus on mental health, trauma and nervous system disorders. She is particularly excited when helping patients with anxiety, PTSD, burnout, nervous system dysregulation, and digestive issues (IBS, chronic constipation, gas and bloating, etc.). She has additional training in Craniosacral Therapy, Breathwork Facilitation, and Somatic Experiencing. Her scope of practice includes clinical nutrition, lifestyle counselling, botanical medicine, physical examinations, acupuncture, gua sha and cupping, laboratory & diagnostic testing, and IV nutrient therapy.
Outside of the clinic she enjoys intuitive dance, breathwork, meditation, and listening to the calming waves at the beach. Her practice is LGBTQ+ friendly.
