Offerings
Naturopathic Counselling
Dr. Arielle Leader, ND, offers personalized naturopathic counseling designed to create targeted holistic healing plans tailored to each patient's unique health story, goals, and biology. The process begins with a complimentary 20-minute consultation to evaluate fit, followed by an in-depth 75-minute initial assessment covering health history and lifestyle. From there, customized treatment plans are developed—incorporating options such as targeted lab testing, nutritional support, botanical medicine, acupuncture, supplements, and lifestyle therapies—with ongoing support provided through regular follow-up visits to monitor progress and adjust care over time.
Restoring Skin
Dr. Arielle Leader's "Restoring Skin" program offers an integrative, root-cause naturopathic approach to managing chronic skin and scalp conditions—such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, and hair loss—by healing the body from the inside out. The program addresses the key biological systems driving skin health, including gut health, immune function, detoxification, and hormonal balance. Patients receive virtual consultations, personalized nutrition and lifestyle guidance, targeted botanical and nutrient supplementation, and comprehensive functional lab testing (such as GI-MAP, DUTCH, and Organic Acids tests), operating on a pay-as-you-go structure eligible for insurance coverage.
Facial Acupuncture
Dr. Arielle Leader offers Facial (Cosmetic) Acupuncture, a non-invasive, holistic treatment rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that enhances skin tone, texture, and natural brightness while addressing fine lines, puffiness, sagging, and dullness. By combining fine facial and body needle therapy with gua sha and facial cupping, the service boosts circulation, stimulates natural collagen production, and balances the nervous system as a natural alternative to Botox or fillers. The care pathway involves a complimentary 15-minute chat, a 45-minute virtual pre-treatment consultation to review health history, and an initial 90-minute in-person session, with a series of 8 to 12 weekly treatments recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.
Lab Testing
Dr. Arielle Leader offers data-driven lab testing to eliminate guesswork and pinpoint the root causes of chronic skin issues, fatigue, digestive symptoms, and hormonal imbalances. Her practice utilizes both standard serum (blood) testing—to assess hormones, metabolic markers, organ function, immune health, and nutrient levels like iron, B12, and vitamin D—and advanced functional testing (such as GI-MAP stool tests for gut microbiome health, Organic Acids/OAT urine tests for metabolism and detoxification, and DUTCH hormone testing). An initial naturopathic consultation is required to determine the appropriate tests, which are then used alongside clinical symptoms to build targeted, highly personalized treatment plans and track progress over time.
Nutrient Injections
Dr. Arielle Leader offers in-office Intramuscular (IM) Nutrient Injections and Glutathione Inhalation Therapy to deliver essential vitamins directly into the body for rapid absorption, bypassing digestive limitations to boost energy, immune regulation, and cellular recovery. Offered treatments include Vitamin B12 (for energy, nerve health, and red blood cells), Vitamin B6 (for hormone balance and PMS), Vitamin D3 (for immunity and mood), and inhaled glutathione (a key antioxidant for respiratory and environmental detoxification). To ensure safety and efficacy, therapies require a prior naturopathic assessment, recent baseline lab work to confirm deficiency or clinical need, and periodic follow-up testing to monitor progress.
Massage Therapy
Dr. Arielle Leader is an experienced Registered Massage Therapist (graduating from Sutherland-Chan in 2014) who offers individualized, evidence-informed soft tissue therapy aimed at relieving pain, improving tissue mobility, and supporting nervous system regulation at Pomegranate Health Care in Toronto. Her treatments blend traditional massage techniques with integrative modalities—including Contemporary Medical Acupuncture (McMaster 2019), cupping, hot stone therapy, facial gua sha, breathwork, and hydrotherapy—to address both immediate physical tension and long-term recovery patterns.
Brazilian Lymphatic Massage
Dr. Arielle Leader offers Brazilian Lymphatic Massage (utilizing the Josie Rushing technique), a specialized whole-body treatment that gently stimulates lymph nodes and applies firmer, targeted pressure along lymphatic pathways. This structured massage method enhances circulation and encourages natural lymphatic drainage while simultaneously delivering a visible sculpting and contouring effect. Performed by Dr. Leader in her capacity as an experienced Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), sessions can also integrate complementary options like acupuncture, cupping, hot stone therapy, facial gua sha, and essential oils to support recovery, pain relief, and nervous system relaxation.
