Dr. Joseph Steyr
Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Joseph Steyr is a Naturopathic Doctor, Co-Founder, and the Medical Director at Greystones Health. With a deep commitment to holistic patient care, Dr. Steyr employs a functional medicine approach in his practice, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of health concerns. His extensive training in the science of functional medicine, coupled with his dedication to staying current with medical research, allows him to provide long-lasting solutions for his patients.
Dr. Steyr's practice is a harmonious blend of modern medical sciences and traditional health philosophies, enabling him to view and treat health from multiple perspectives. He sees his role not only as a doctor but also as an educator, guiding his patients through the often conflicting landscape of medical information. By educating his patients on all available treatment options, Dr. Steyr ensures that decisions about their health are made collaboratively and with full understanding.
Having expertise in a wide range of conditions, Dr. Steyr treats issues such as fertility and hormone regulation, stress, menstrual irregularities, mental health challenges, low energy, depression, anxiety, food intolerances, digestive problems like IBS, SIBO, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's, and skin conditions such as acne and eczema. His expertise extends to complex and chronic cases, where he has achieved success even after patients have exhausted many other options.
Dr. Steyr also adopts a mind-body approach, examining how the nervous system affects the body’s physiology to provide comprehensive care. His initial appointments include an in-depth medical history, a review of recent lab tests, and the development of an individualized treatment plan. Dr. Steyr often collaborates with a nutritionist to ensure patients receive the dietary support necessary for success. While nutritional supplements may be used to accelerate recovery, his primary focus is on dietary and lifestyle changes that promote long-term healing.
Dr. Steyr is a graduate of the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine and is registered with the College of Naturopaths Ontario.
Michelle Heighington
Registered Holistic Nutritionist
I am a holistic nutritionist with over 15 years of experience helping patients to make healthy dietary and lifestyle changes for better health. While I’ve always had a passion for nutrition, I’ve wanted to offer more to my patients, so in 2021 I decided it was time to go back to school and become a naturopathic doctor. I am currently in my final year at CCNM. Although I cannot practice yet as a naturopathic doctor, I bring the knowledge I have learned into my nutrition appointments so that I can better understand each patient’s unique health concerns.
The areas that I have a special interest in are digestive issues, women’s health (menstrual concerns and menopause), weight management, and dietary cancer support (prevention and post treatment). I am particularly passionate about helping women to ease into menopause and can support them through diet and lifestyle to help reduce symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, hot flashes, and more.
I also believe a pillar of health is how we manage stress, and so I work with my patients to come up with a customized plan for stress management that works with their lifestyle. Having previously worked in the corporate world, I am familiar with the impacts that stress can have on our bodies (and hormones), and so I believe this is a key component to supporting great health.
When working with me you can expect to be a key part of the treatment planning process. I want to educate and empower my patients to make the best and most realistic decisions for their health that work within their lifestyle. I will also provide you with a diet plan, recipes, or any other type of support that you need to meet your health goals.
Dr. Francesca Reis
Naturopathic Doctor
Dr. Reis decided to pursue a career in medicine to help as many people as she can achieve and maintain healthy lives. Dr. Reis started as a Medical Doctor studying in the UK.
She left that path as she felt that it didn’t allow for enough discussion about prevention, diet and lifestyle changes. She believes that health is truly wealth, and that our lives are more enjoyable when we are in a state of optimal health. Now Dr. Reis combines training as both a Medical Doctor and Naturopathic Doctor to get the best results for all her patients.
Dr. Reis has a strong focus on diet and nutrition. She believes in the power of food as medicine to help prevent and fight disease. Making long-term dietary changes are not easy, but the patients she works with are committed to making these changes to improve their health. Using this approach in practice Dr. Reis has seen great results. Dr. Reis focuses on a few key health concerns:
Digestive issues such as IBS, Colitis, Crohn’s, and chronic gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. Weight loss Mental health such as depression and anxiety Sleep and energy, such as burnout and insomnia Brain fog and poor mental focus Reversing fatty liver disease, Hormonal health, women's health and menopause support.
Along with a primary focus on dietary changes, Dr. Reis also uses lifestyle changes, supplements, and acupuncture as supportive treatments. She creates personalized treatment plans and provides education for her patients but believes in patients taking an active role in their own health journey, as this helps ensure lasting outcomes. She looks forward to working with you on your path to a healthier life!
Dr. Reis is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, licensed through the College of Naturopaths of Ontario, and a member of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), and the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND). She is also a member of the Canadian Menopause Society. She has a BSc (honours) in Chemistry from the University of Central Oklahoma, as well as an MD degree from St. George’s University of London in the UK. </span>

Patricia Koutsoukos
As a dedicated therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I am deeply
committed to supporting clients through various challenges, including anxiety, stress, trauma,
relationship issues, depression, and more. My approach is centered on creating a safe, non-
judgmental space where you can explore your concerns and emotions openly.
Coming from a teaching background, I have cultivated a great deal of patience and am adept at
communicating in a way that resonates with clients, regardless of their background. My personal
journey through grief and loss is what inspired me to pursue a career in therapy. I understand the
importance of having a space where one can speak freely, share their thoughts, and feel truly
heard.
Having immigrated at the age of 10, I also deeply understand the challenges of starting over in a
new country, leaving behind friends and family, and navigating the complexities of a new life.
These experiences have further shaped my empathy and understanding for those facing
transitions and struggles.
In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify and understand the patterns affecting your well-
being. By drawing on your strengths, we’ll develop effective strategies to improve your quality
of life. Whether you're navigating specific issues or seeking personal growth, I’m here to guide
you every step of the way.
Let’s work together to find the path that best supports your journey towards healing and personal
development. I offer services in both English and Romanian.
