Doctor Owens
Howard H. Owens,
N.D. is pleased to have been operating his full time practice in Bracebridge,
Ontario since 2002. He also works each month at the Rama Mnjikaning Health
Centre treating people in that First Nations Community.
He has spent nine
years in full time post secondary education, receiving his Doctor of
Naturopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine,
CCNM, in Toronto, Ontario, where he received 2 awards The Merit Achievement
Award (in recognition of a student who exemplifies the spirit of giving
through charitable work within CCNM and the community at large) and The Dr
Shimon Levytam Award, (in recognition of a student demonstrating outstanding
understanding of the principles of naturopathic medicine and applying them in
daily practice while promoting naturopathic medicine within and outside of
Canada). The Canadian College is only one of only 6 accredited institutions in
this medical field in North America. He also successfully completed a
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Program though Harvard Medical School and
holds undergraduate degrees from the University of Guelph.
Dr. Owens has also
spent close to six years living and studying abroad, particularly in the Far
East.
He has
successfully studied the science, diagnosis, philosophy and history of various
medical systems and would be happy to help you find natural solutions that
work. He believes strongly that natural solutions need not be slow, bad tasting
or expensive. Nor that Evidence Based Medicine and traditional wisdom or more
esoteric / energetic wisdom need be at odds with each other. His art is to find
pleasurable, sustainable, simple solutions that get you the results you are
looking for.
Doctor "Howie",
his wife Allyson, two children Bronwyn and Seamus love life in Muskoka and are
very active members or our community.
Howie has spent
over half a dozen years volunteering on a couple of local boards, both the Town
of Bracebridge Parks & Trails & Recreation Committee and as a founding Board
member of The Muskoka Trails Council. Working with local politicians, Public
Health officials and other critical community members to help with initiatives
around Active Transportation, eliminating pesticide / herbicide use, trails
promotion and others geared to help make Muskokans and our tourists healthier.
Doctor Owens is
also available for informative, friendly, free talks to interested groups.
He has
taught many college, professional and community classes / courses around natural
health strategies, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, horticulture, Aboriginal
Health
Issues, heart disease, stress management, Mind Body Medicine +++. Please call if
your group is interested in a dynamic lecture or herb walk. There are many
useful and historically interesting medicines growing in our local environment.
If you are ready
to take a more active role in getting positive outcomes with your health goals,
whether through baby steps or dramatic leaps and bounds, in a supportive,
collaborative, positive, pleasurable & safe environment; become one of the many
patients he has helped get better. Be prepared to do some work though. If you
are looking for magic bullet pills…...you are in the wrong place. Dr
Owens, Howie, does his best to limit recommending any kind of long term pills,
supplements or medications when at all possible.
