Dr. Marie Matheson is the founding clinician of BioHeal Ottawa. Her professional interest lies in determining the infectious and toxic causes of chronic and complex autoimmune illnesses. Her family practice focuses on patients with Chronic Parasitic/ Fungal/Viral Infections, PANDA’s/PANS, Autism (ASD), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MCAS, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, SIBO, and desensitizing severe Environmental and Food Allergies. Through all of this she has become a leader in the treatment Mold Illness (CIRS) and Lyme Disease and other vector-borne illnesses.
Dr. Marie believes in preventative medicine and the importance of determining the causal chain of illness by addressing toxicities at a cellular level. Using her assessment tool of Auricular Medicine, Dr. Marie uncovers blockages and underlying imbalances that have created symptoms, to allow the body to self-heal and auto-regulate.
Grounded in general practice skills, Dr. Marie thinks of herself as somewhat of a health detective for chronic illnesses, specifically when it comes to figuring out the underlying causes. Her willingness to freely share clinical pearls of wisdom among colleagues has led to her being a sought after speaker at conferences. This along with her professional reputation lead to her being asked to be author of a chapter within Connie Strasheim’s groundbreaking book New Paradigms in Lyme Disease Treatment.
She is also a member of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), and completed their Physicians Training Program with Dr. Charles Ray Jones, MD in Connecticut, who is arguably one of the top Lyme Disease practitioners in the US.
It’s hard to improve on the Naturopathic refrain, “fix the terrain”, but this is the mission at the heart of Dr. Marie’s practice.
