The Paradigm Centre is a healing partnership that works harmoniously from a place of ethics, professionalism and integrity. Our approach is client-directed and holistic.
Holistic energy therapy looks at the body as a whole to uncover the root cause of symptoms. It then helps to remove the cause so the body can heal.

BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination
When we hear the term allergy testing we most often think of the traditional medical approach using a "scratch test" or needles in order to determine allergens or sensitivities. However, food and environmental sensitivity testing is now easier than ever. Using an accurate, non-invasive and painless method of analysis, even children feel comfortable with it!
Biofeedback Analysis is a phenomenal, scientific method to detect sensitivities using one's own muscle strength and the static electricity present in the body. With the use of a unique scientific technology, BioEnergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE) is used to eliminate symptoms of both food and environmental sensitivities, literally removing all symptoms during a short session.
Energy Medicine
Energy medicine looks at the body as a whole instead of just looking at the symptoms of illness. Eastern philosophy teaches that we are not just our bodies – we are energy. Quantum physics teaches us that we are a very complex system of energetic patterns. We are learning that we cannot isolate one thing from a complex pattern without creating an impact on the whole system. A symptom does not necessarily signify one specific problem, but rather that something is out of balance within the whole body.
Energy medicine works with people who find that they are falling between the cracks of the medical system, or feel that they are stuck on a merry-go-round of medical professionals, therapies and medications while improved health still eludes them.
Energy medicine practitioners acknowledge that the client’s body is very wise and know that if you follow that body wisdom, it will reveal exactly what is causing the symptoms. The practitioner then works with that body wisdom to remove the cause of the symptoms so that the body is free to heal itself.
Energy medicine is provided by practitioners who have been trained and certified in energy techniques called modalities. The modalities offered by energy medicine practitioners (or Holistic Energy Therapists) at the Paradigm Centre are: Therapeutic Touch, Total Body Modification (TBM), Biocomputer Operating System (BOS), Energy Psychology, Medical Intuition, Channeling, Integrated Chakra and Meridian Balancing.
The Holistic Energy Therapists (HET) at the Paradigm Centre assist each client on their own personal healing journey by working with the body’s innate wisdom to help bring the physical body back into harmony with the energy body or aura. The modalities offered by our practitioners can help in the release of physical and emotional symptoms which can result in healing.
The energy work offered by the Holistic Energy Therapists is not conventional nor is it a substitute for a traditional medical or allopathic medical care. Energy medicine is not suitable for anyone undergoing extreme psychiatric distress or anyone who has been or is receiving medical assistance for extreme psychiatric distress.
Homeopathic Medicine (Sequential Therapy)
Homeopathy is a system of natural medicine that has been practiced for more than 200 years. It treats the whole person, prescribing on an individual basis, not one-size-fits-all, and uses homeopathic remedies.
Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, that are highly diluted, safe, not addictive, have no side-effects and stimulate the body's own innate healing mechanism towards health. Homeopathic pharmaceutical companies, regulated by Health Canada and the FDA in USA, make homeopathic remedies under carefully controlled conditions.
Tens of millions of people around the world use homeopathic remedies daily. It is one of the fastest growing forms of health care globally. In European, South American and Asian countries, it is integrated into the public health care systems, proving its popularity and efficacy.
Homeopathic Sequential Therapy uses homeopathic remedies to strengthen your immune system, to remove acute and chronic disease-symptoms following a sequence based on your specific life traumas (physical, mental and emotional), and to reduce your underlying predisposition to inherited diseases.
In homeopathic Sequential Therapy, you can expect significant improvements in your overall health and well being, without the risk of adverse side effects and reducing the likelihood of long-term drug dependence. This approach is especially successful for children as it is non-invasive, toxic-free and strengthens their immune system for life.
Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic medicine is a unique and comprehensive approach to improving health and treating illness. Focusing on prevention, and using natural substances and treatments, naturopathic doctors (NDs) support and stimulate the body’s ability to heal itself.
The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of the illness, rather than simply mask or suppress symptoms. Every aspect of the patient is considered, and the ND takes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual dimensions into account when diagnosing and developing a treatment plan.
The primary therapies used by Dr. Michelle Cali, ND include clinical nutrition and supplements, botanical medicine, homeopathic medicine, acupuncture and acupressure, laboratory testing and counselling.
The goal of a naturopathic doctor is to understand the patient and all the factors which impact on his/her health. Dr. Cali will take an in-depth patient history, including information from physical examinations and laboratory tests to assist in making an assessment and diagnosis. A personal treatment plan will then be proposed to help facilitate your healing process. Dr. Cali’s strong scientific background brings a unique perspective from which she analyzes individual cases. Virtually all chronic and most acute conditions will benefit from treatment by a naturopathic doctor and Michelle welcomes clients of all ages.
Psychotherapy for Individuals, Couples and Families
The vitality, strength, and well-being of intimate relationships significantly impact our
neurobiology, immune system, and mental health.[1] Research has demonstrated that in loving, respectful connection to other human beings, people recover more quickly from
traumatic experiences and respond better to medical intervention.[2]
Tending to our family relationships is a way to deeply support our own wellness and also
provide for the long-term health and happiness of our children. Psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families – also called “Family Therapy”-
assists personal healing and growth while paying careful attention to clients’ family
relationship context. It offers professional guidance when relationships face challenges
such as difficult stressors, developmental changes, and personal issues.
In providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families at the Paradigm Centre,
Vera Dyck collaborates with clients to find an approach that fits the presenting concern. Sometimes the focus is individual - resolving painful memories in early relationships,
or shifting internalized beliefs. When indicated, Vera offers EMDR (Eye Movement
Desensitization & Reprocessing) Therapy for providing relief from traumatic experiences
& other disturbing memories locked in the body.
Sometimes the work is clarifying
interpersonal boundaries, or developing more satisfying patterns of interacting in current
relationships. Vera uses a wide variety of strategies to assist couples seeking to rekindle,
strengthen, or heal their partnerships. She facilitates individuals seeking clarity regarding
whether or how to remain in a relationship. She offers parenting strategies, support, and
research, drawing on her training as mediator to effectively address parent-teen conflict.
Decisions regarding the focus of counselling and whom to include in it are collaborative.
Vera listens carefully to clients’ concerns, hopes and goals. She conducts a thorough
assessment, considers biological/medical factors, evaluates risk, and consults when
appropriate. She offers recommendations informed by professional experience, current
research, and personal insight. Together, she and the client negotiate next steps.
