Wendy Knight Agard
Wendy Knight Agard, DMH, DHHP Wendy's journey with complimentary medicine began in 1990 when she began to search for ways to treat her asthma without inhalers and steroid pills. While she was able to achieve some reduction of the symptoms, after a few years of improved health it became clear that the underlying cause of her asthma had not been eliminated. Having children was a trigger for a new set of symptoms – eczema, chronic fatigue and hypothyroid. While conventional medicine confirmed that eczema and asthma are typically caused by the same underlying factors, the only suggestions for treatment were drugs and cortisone creams. Having used these medicines since she was a child, Wendy understood that they were not solving the problem – they were only suppressing the symptoms and were ultimately causing her health to deteriorate. When both of her children developed severe eczema at just a few weeks old and multiple food allergies as soon as solid foods were introduced, Wendy resumed her search for alternatives and answers. After trying several naturopathic approaches and classical homeopathy with only marginal success, she began treatment for herself and her children at the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst. The first change Wendy noticed was that her one year-old almost instantly went from being cranky, colicky and unsettled to calm, affectionate and happy. Wendy and the children began to thrive with Heilkunst treatment and it became obvious that this was the system of medicine she had been looking for, as it addressed the underlying physical, emotional and soul/spiritual cause(s) of the symptoms she and her children had suffered from. After experiencing this personal success as a patient, Wendy embarked on the intense program of study at the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst and is now a practicing Doctor of Medical Heilkunst (DMH). Wendy is a member of the Canadian/International Heilkunst Association, and the Academy of Naturopaths and Naturotherapists, and continues to invest in additional education. She welcomes patients of all ages who want to go beyond suppressing symptoms and resolve the underlying cause(s) of their health issues. Back to Directory of Practitioners  |
