The time was taken to explain the causes of my issues. I value the effort taken in dealing with my specific issues. I especially liked being explained in depth the science of my conditions as well as how to improve them. Mindful Medicine provides preventative medicine using evidence-based practices. The staff are very principled, knowledgeable and use those strengths to their client's advantage.

Meeting Dr Oza has been the greatest gift to my general Health. I have learned how to have a healthy lifestyle of eating without feeling shackled and deprived. From Mental to Physiological. It is so empowering to understand your food labels, and nutrition in way a baby can follow. What a gift to Health Education you are, Dr Oza, and I can’t wait to embark on another chapter of Healthy Living with you. I encourage everyone to book with Dr Oza and you’d forever changed.

I have always had immense difficulties dealing with stresses and being easily stressed. But with the tools and skills I have acquired through Dr Oza’s impeccable guidance and teachings, I feel I am with a mental thermostat which I can shut down and turn on according to the stresses I am confronted by. The best part about her sessions, is that she makes it simple and easy to grasp so then you are able to utilize what you have learned right away. This is also covered by OHIP so then financial stresses are already at zero when you start. I am so grateful for Mindful Medicine, you should definitely try it!!!

** a hidden gem**
After frequenting many yoga studios in both Vancouver, and Toronto over the years, I've developed a sense as to what I look for in a calm, relaxing, and welcoming studio. The Yoga classes at Mindful Medicine are without a doubt the best I've had the pleasure of attending. I was welcomed into the studio by not only Janika (the yoga instructor), but also Dr. Oza herself. With being out of yoga for a couple of years I'll be honest I was a little nervous - which was completely not necessary!! Janika is a rock star. Her voice was calming, she was extremely informative, and her ability to connect with me was brilliant! The class was about an hour in length with a mixture of breathing, mental, and intermediate physical strengthening exercises. Perfect for just about anyone!!
I without a doubt left relaxed and excited for my next class!

I recently had the good fortune to attend a personal diabetes education and nutrition session at Mindful Medicine. My one-on-one session was coordinated quickly by the staff to ensure that the remainder of my pregnancy was as health as possible and decrease the anxiety I was feeling.
Yvonne took the time to understand my lifestyle, food preferences/allergies and how to successfully incorporate healthy eating into my daily routine. She was extremely knowledgeable, patient and supportive. Most importantly, she helped provide me with the building blocks to a much healthier lifestyle for myself and my new baby. Without the help of Yvonne, I would have been overwhelmed, stressed and not understand the ease with which healthy lifestyle choices can be added to one's day-to-day lifestyle.
I would highly recommend Mindful Medicine to anyone looking to make a positive investment in their health and overall lifestyle. Fantastic centre and fantastic staff. I am looking forward to attending more education sessions as well as workout classes that are available.

Dr. Oza comes with three decades of experience as a Family Physician in the United Kingdom and in Canada. Her current practice on "Mindful Medicine" clearly emphasizes the importance of preventative care and looking at a persons' whole when approaching health care and maintenance. Regular attendance and use of techniques taught by the team here will definitely inspire one to lead a healthier life style.

They look at some of the root causes of chronic disease instead of just treating symptoms with medications (which most medications do not really work anyway). Diet and nutrition and very important.

Welcoming and relaxing environment, very helpful and kind people (knowledgeable too). I have learnt a lot about diabetes and nutrition, I am able to make healthier food choices (label reading). Also, I have learnt about the importance of physical activity and exercise. I feel much healthier and more energetic. Improved my physical condition and stamina. My mood has changed as well. Thank you very much for changing my lifestyle in a positive way.
