Naturopathic Children's Health Clinic

Are you looking for effective, natural alternatives to address the health care needs of your whole family? Do you want to minimize the use of pharmaceutical treatments for your kids? Are you interested in using natural remedies and nutrition to treat illness and prevent disease?

Welcome to the Naturopathic Children’s Health Clinic at OIHC, Ottawa’s premier naturopathic clinic for children’s health.

The NCHC is headed by Shawn Yakimovich ND, a naturopathic doctor and father of two young children.  Through his personal and clinical experience, Shawn has developed a passion for providing safe and effective natural health care to children and their parents, and he understands the importance of reliable health information and a supportive health-care team.

The Naturopathic Children’s Health Clinic was created in response to current trends in conventional pediatric care, such as:

  • Pediatricians refusing to treat children who are not vaccinated or whose  parents are seeking a modified vaccine schedule
  • Lack of current information on healthy nutrition, breastfeeding and supplementation
  • Limited access to primary care

The goal of the Naturopathic Children’s Health Clinic is to fill these gaps by providing a holistic, individualized health care option for children from birth to age 15.  It will accomplish this through the following commitments:

·        Welcoming: We have friendly doctors and staff who enjoy helping children

·        Respect: We provide an environment that is respectful, non-judgmental, and allows parents to discuss their concerns 

·        Choice: We empower parents with information so they can make informed decisions

·        Care:  We provide exemplary naturopathic medical care, including a thorough assessment of your child, diagnosis, timely treatment, and referral where appropriate

·        Accessibility: We commit to short wait times, home visits, and email/phone availability after business hours

·        Time:  Visits are a minimum of 30 minutes in length, allowing time for discussions and answering your questions

·        Education:  We present seminars on whole foods nutrition, vaccination information, natural first aid and homeopathy for children and families
