Unfortunately for the time being we are putting our meetings on hold.
We are looking for new people to help lead our meetings. If you are a current member or someone new you are welcome to help lead the group. Even if you want to lead a meeting once; you do not need to make a long term commitment. You do not need to be an expert on all things IC, or even have a guest speaker. If you want to get people together to talk, vent and support one another that is always welcome!
We are open to new times and meeting places.
We will be resuming meetings some time in the New Year, maybe in a new time and place.
The email will still be monitored and we have a private Facebook group that anyone is welcome to join. To receive an invitation send an email to info.icvancouver@gmail.com

Next Meeting February 19th
We are very excited to have a naturopath, Dr. Juliet Ghodsian from the Sage Clinic come and speak with our group on February 19th
Here is a brief biography for Dr. Ghodsian:
From a very young age, Dr. Ghodsian has had a passion for helping others. She spent a year after high school as a volunteer teacher for indigenous children in the mountains of Ecuador. She then pursued an undergraduate degree in Social Work, accepting an internship in case management for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, autism, and other developmental disabilities. She then completed the four-year naturopathic medical degree programme at Bastyr University, and two years of clinical training at the Bastyr Centre for Natural Health. During her medical training she pursued certification in Craniosacral Therapy Levels I, II and III. She continued on to receive advanced training (approximately 100 hours) as a preceptor with three different doctors who specialize in Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation. She has trained with both the Integrative Body Work Institute and the Upledger Institute. She continues to expand her skill set in this area through continuing education studies.
In her practice, Dr. Ghodsian blends her expertise in counselling therapy, Kundalini yoga breath-work, and bodywork techniques with naturopathic modalities such as: homeopathic remedies, bio-therapeutic drainage, botanical medicines, nutritional supplements, and diet/lifestyle counseling; creating a simple, personalized treatment plan for each patient. She strives to uncover and treat the true cause of disease, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
