Naturopathic Medicine
ABOUT
Naturopathic medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on supporting the body's inherent ability to heal itself using natural and less invasive treatments. Naturopathic doctors aim to address the root cause of illness rather than simply treating symptoms, promoting overall wellness and prevention alongside treatment.
Dr. Negin Sayar, Atinama’s Naturopathic Doctor, approaches each patient with an individualized and evidence-based plan. She believes in being an advocate for her patients and empowering them to take an active role in every step of their health journey.
Her clinical philosophy is to work with her patients as partners and to establish treatment plans and health goals as a team. Her number one priority in patient care is to foster a respectful, compassionate, and caring environment where patient-doctor collaboration results in creative, practical, and effective treatment plans that are unique to each patient. She employs various treatment modalities including those outlined below.
TCM Acupuncture
-
Acupuncture is the practice of placing fine needles gently below the skin in specific locations to help restore healthy blood flow. According to Chinese medicine, the body is composed of numerous well documented pathways (channels) in which our energy flows. A blockage to one or more of these channels can manifest as the source of acute pain, or may be the cause of other seemingly unrelated ailments. The goal of acupuncture is to regulate these underlying disharmonies by unblocking these inner pathways. This allows for the relief of symptoms and a greater overall energetic harmony within the body.
Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture
-
As we age, the face naturally loses elasticity causing fine wrinkles and a natural sagging of the skin. In Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture, tiny needles are placed into these lines creating a micro-trauma which activates a healing response within the body. By signalling the body to produce collagen to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, signs of aging can be noticeably reduced.
*Offered by both Dr. Negin, ND and Elisa Nesta, R.Ac.
Cupping Therapy
-
Silicone or glass cups are placed on the body and manipulated gently in multiple directions. This improves mobility, circulation and provides deep relaxation. The ‘circular marks’ left after the treatment are temporary, lasting anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR
Dr. Negin Sayar, ND is a licensed and registered naturopathic doctor with a primary focus in hormonal health, gut health and sleep disorders. She is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine at the top of her class. Upon finishing her academic training, she completed a rigorous year of clinical internships at the Robert Schad Naturopathic Clinic, and the Parkdale Community Health Centre. During her internship, she was selected and given the opportunity to work in the highly competitive Oncology shift at the Integrative Cancer Centre where she received in-depth training in cancer and naturopathic oncology from experts in the field. Additionally, she holds a certificate in facial rejuvenation acupuncture. Prior to her naturopathic studies, she obtained her medical degree from Shiraz University of medical sciences in Iran. She then worked as a general practitioner in the hospitals and outpatient clinics where her passion for holistic medicine was triggered.
Dr. Negin approaches each patient with an individualized and evidence-based plan. She believes in being an advocate for her patients and empowering them to take an active role in every step of their health journey. Her clinical philosophy is to work with her patients as partners and to establish treatment plans and health goals as a team. Her number one priority in patient care is to foster a respectful, compassionate, and caring environment where patient-doctor collaboration results in creative, practical, and effective treatment plans that are unique to each patient. She employs various treatment modalities such as acupuncture/traditional Chinese medicine, botanical medicine, clinical nutrition (including nutraceutical prescriptions), counselling, cupping and lifestyle modifications. She is committed to help her patients feel that their voice is heard, they are actively involved in their own healing journey, and that they are supported throughout every step.
When she is not in the office, you may probably find her at her kitchen, recreating healthy recipes, or in the hiking trails with her husband or perhaps sited by her favorite window playing a hang drum.

Cancellation Policy
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A last-minute cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapist’s day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. You are welcome to send another person to take your place if you cannot come in. If you do not provide more than 24 hours’ notice, or you miss your appointment, you will be charged 100% of the treatment fee. Our therapists deserve secured income, and we thank you in advance for respecting their time.
We also believe that healthy relationships function best as a two-way street - so, if one of our therapists needs to cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours’ notice, and if we are unable to find you another therapist on the same day, then we will gift your next treatment free (of the same duration).
