feels anxious and overwhelmed?
takes prescription medication but does not feel better?
is dealing with chronic health concerns?
is dissatisfied with your current mental health?
wants an alternative to taking prescription medication?
feels unheard by your current health team.

worries and feels uncertain about the future.
is ready to take control of your health and life.
If you answered "yes" to any of the above...
The BrainBody25 Program is the ideal program for you.
This program is designed for people who are serious about putting in the work in order to change their health. We work 1:1 with individuals but cannot make change unless the person is 100% invested in the process. It is common for us to see people with these problems.
Motivation & Energy
You have goals you want to achieve but you don’t have the motivation and energy to complete them? Energy depletion can be caused by many reasons. Nutrient deficiencies on top of psychological health make a perfect storm. We improve the root for better outcomes.
Chronic Health Issues
You have chronic health issues that never seem to get better. You’ve jumped from practitioner to practitioner and still no results. You need a system that builds the foundation.
No Prescriptions
You’re tired of prescription medications and want an alternative. Prescriptions can be useful but they are not the only solution. We give you the tools to integrate.
Unheard
Do you find it’s hard to find a practitioner that cares and listens? Most practitioners don’t have the time to dig deeper. But if we don’t dig deeper we often cannot find the answers and solutions. Our integrative perspective allows a deeper look & understanding.

Why this is the program you've been looking for...
The BrainBody25 Program is root cause focused.
BrainBody25 Program is a root-cause approach to psychological healthcare, which examines the elements of health at the root of our foundation. This program takes a comprehensive whole-body systems approach to mental and physical health. This program has never been seen before, it was sculpted through 30+ years of clinical psychology experience.
Most mental health programs miss the boat because they focus on the symptoms rather than the cause...
Which is why most things end up coming back or feeling worse overtime.
Which no one wants.
We all want to get better, but that requires us to look at health from a different perspective, a more holistic perspective.
It is now clear that mental health is more than psychology.
It is our foods, nutrients, gut health, hormones, immune system, sleep, movement etc. to name a few. These are the elements of health and the foundation to optimal living.
Available: In Person & Virtual
Our hybrid approach allows education & learning to operate both in-person and virtually. Virtual session will be run weekly by our health coach to keep people motivated and on track. In person sessions will involve both psychological and naturopathic treatment.

The History Behind BrainBody25
BrainBody25 program was created by Dr. Sharleen McDowall, a Clinical Psychologist, and after many years of treating patients with emotional issues with psychological interventions but came to realize that something was missing.
Although psychologists are trained to use a bio-psycho-social approach when treating patients, she realized that biological aspects of the person that could potentially impact a person’s mental well-being were not being addressed by psychology. Psychological interventions were not equipped to treat these physical concerns. She had patients with a variety of health concerns (eg. hormonal issues, blood sugar deregulation or digestion issues, etc.) that were significantly impacting her patient’s mental health.

Feeling helpless time and time again, Dr. McDowall began thinking about how she could include healthcare services in her practice. Being passionate about helping patients achieve optimal health and happiness, the BrainBody25 program was born, a whole-body system approach to addressing the primary areas of health that could potentially impact a person’s psychological and physical health.
Influenced by the renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow’s theory of psychological health, and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, the Be5 Living program includes 5 Levels and 25 Elements of Health, with each level building upon the other. However, each level is not mutually exclusive and patients are required to conduct an integrative health assessment (IHA) prior to the program in order to create a personalized treatment plan to determine the individual elements of mind-body health that requires the most attention.
