About Dr. Rumancik:
Raised on a small prairie farm in Saskatchewan, I developed an appreciation for the healing properties of the body and the effects of natural remedies on it. I studied both science and fine arts at the University of Regina and later dedicating six years to environment conservation through employment with government, non-profit organizations, consulting companies, and research developing a love for flora, fauna, and being outdoors while doing art in my free time.
After a six month backpacking trip across south america I was inspired to change career paths. Later moving to BC and attending the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine in New Westminster I received my Naturopathic designation.

Having a personal interest in treating not only the body, but the mind, and energy systems I continue to research, self-study, and train in new techniques to provide the best possible care. These include Body Talk, meditation, homeopathy, and Reiki.
"Healing occurs as the correct building blocks are provided, lifestyle adjustments are made, and supportive treatments are provided."
Currently practicing in both Saskatchewan and British Columbia as well as offering meditation classes and guided day hikes from Vancouver!
