"Dr Katia Bailetti is a wonderful resource for my patients. I have referred
a number of my young parents to Dr Bailetti in order for them to gain
insight on the confusing subject of childhood vaccination. She has given
them valuable objective information that has enabled them to make educated, informed and empowered choices for their children and families. The information she presents is extensively researched and non-biased. After a consult with Dr Bailetti some of my families have chosen to vaccinate, others have choson not to - the key is in all cases it is their own choice, based on the knowledge they have gained through their phone consultation with Dr Bailetti."
~ Dr. Julie Zepp Rutledge, Naturopathic Doctor in Regina, Saskatchewan

"It's about time that someone provided such a valuable and needed service.  Dr. Bailetti has done a comprehensive survey of vaccinations, and presents the material in a balanced manner. This is informed consent at its' best, and I am thrilled to have a referral for my patients who are struggling with these difficult parenting decisions."

Collaboration with other health care professionals

Some clients use natural medicine to compliment their conventional medicine (complimentary medicine), others use natural medicine as an alternative (alternative medicine). Clients are encouraged to maintain regular contact with their medical doctor, however, it is important to coordinate the efforts of your health care providers. Please read Katia's letter to medical doctors and bring a copy to your next doctor's visit.

  • Using washable sheets, pillow cases and gowns instead of disposable alternatives.
  • Using eco-friendly soaps to wash clinic equipment and supplies.
  • Choosing public transportation to get to and from clinic appointments.
  • Using electronic communications instead of paper, when possible.

  • Continually evaluating clinic processes to integrate new ecologically sound solutions.
  • Encouraging and inspiring clients to take care of themselves, their families and their environment.
