After high school Dr.Fradsham traveled to Australia and was introduced to the concept of natural medicine. He began researching everything he could about health and personal performance. He began working at a natural health store selling botanicals and vitamins, while spending his evenings in community college to learn more about natural medicine.
Soon he began to explore the link between quantum energetics and healing botanicals. This led him to the ancient art of traditional Chinese medicine. Dr. Fradsham became fascinated with the logical and pragmatic way with which the Chinese saw the world and the human body.
In his earnest desire to further his knowledge, he was drawn to one of North America’s most renowned Chinese medical universities; the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, in Nelson B.C. Nelson became his mountain retreat as he immersed himself to complete his five year doctorate.
Dr. Fradsham’s professional mission is to help each individual discover within themselves the path to complete and perfect wellness.

Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Dr. Roxanne Chabidon started her natural health career working as a herbal and dietary consultant at a health clinic called The Herbal Market. Where she consulted for five years. That is what spawned her love and passion for the healing and restorative power of herbs and botanicals.
Dr. Chabidon was the first herbalist in Winnipeg to work together with pharmacists in 6 of Winnipeg's pharmacies. She was also a critical component of a special team initiative of nurses and microbiologists in one of Winnipeg's best Health Clinics.
Her passion for the Chinese herbs propelled her to undertake the intense journey of becoming a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. But before she jumped into that four-year commitment. She travelled to Asia to get a pulse on the cultural roots of the medicine she was going study.
Dr. Chabidon spent a year travelling through Asia (China, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Signapore & Thailand) before returning to commence her four year degree at the Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences in Nelson, British Colombia. One of North America’s most prestigious Chinese medical academies.

When asked why she does what she does… Her response says it all “I’ve always been interested in helping people feel good. I feel good when I make others feel good.” It is always a difficult thing for health practitioners to describe the motivation that makes them do what they do. Because for Dr. Chabidon, her role as a doctor is not a job. She enjoys the challenge of connecting with each client and working with your individual needs.
If you are searching for a natural anti-aging expert, a herbalist, acupuncturist, or accurate health guidance that you can trust and follow, then Dr. Roxanne Chabidon is your best choice.
