Brett Binette
Brett Binette, MD, DHHP, DMH, DynNC For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a healer. During my educational years from elementary school through to university, I was naturally drawn to the natural sciences. It was during my medical school training at the University of Alberta that I really began to come to the realization that in fact there is so much more to health and disease than is admitted to or generally accepted in the conventional medical model. While in medical school, I began to explore some complementary therapies such as nutrition, Ayurveda, Reiki, and herbal medicine. At the same time I began studying and practicing yoga and meditation, and exploring spirituality in general. By the time I finished medical school, I had decided that I wanted to integrate some of the complementary approaches into my medical practice, but I was not entirely sure which of the approaches I wanted to focus on. It was during my Family Medicine residency training program at the University of Calgary that I started learning more about homeopathy. I was introduced to Heilkunst and the Hahnemann College for Heilkunst (HCH) through a friend, and I was immediately drawn to the comprehensive and extremely well grounded approach that is taught and practiced there. I started my formal studies in the DHHP program immediately, while at the same time undergoing the Heilkunst treatment process myself. The almost four years of study was an incredible journey, where I learned so much about myself, health and disease, and life in general—and the best part is that I never intend on stopping to learn. In addition to completing my Medical Degree (2001), and my family medicine residency (2003), I have also completed a Dynamic Nutrition certificate (2006) as well as a DHHP certificate (2007) from the HCH. I am also a Doctor of Medical Heilkunst with the Canadian-International Heilkunst Association (CIHA). My other interests include yoga, meditation, hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, playing guitar, painting, and spending time with my wife. My passion for learning, my quest for Truth, and my love of life are the wellsprings that feed my practice of Heilkunst, and my aim is to be a guide for others along their own individual healing journeys.
