Navigating the chapter after breast cancer treatments

Recovery post-cancer treatment is not just about getting back to the status quo. It's about recovering well, and optimizing all areas of your life to support your health and wellness long term, and preventing disease reoccurrence.

Redefining
what life after breast cancer treatment looks like.

Finishing chemotherapy and radiation can be both a relief and a challenge.

While completing treatment is a significant milestone, it often leaves women feeling lost and unsupported. The transition from active treatment to everyday life can be overwhelming, with many women struggling to feel like themselves again.

Recognizing this gap in post-treatment care, I created the RecoverWell Program to provide comprehensive support and guidance during this crucial phase of recovery. The program spans four months and includes a range of resources tailored to help women regain their strength, confidence, and vitality.

IF THIS IS YOU, YOU’RE
IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

I'm Ready To RecoverWell

Meet Dr. Brenda Tapp Leonard, ND

CLINIC DIRECTOR, NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR & PROGRAM FACILITATOR

Leading the charge in integrative cancer care in Peterborough, I am an Ontario licensed ND and active member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP).

I grew up in Peterborough, received my Bachelor of Science degree at Trent University, and only left temporarily to get my Naturopathic Doctorate at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. I’m thrilled to be back to serve this community I call home.

Although my focus is supporting my patients through and beyond their cancer journeys, I do know first-hand how overwhelming that journey can be.

While I was in naturopathic medical school, I watched as an aunt on my mother’s side passed from breast cancer, followed shortly by an aunt on my father’s side being diagnosed as well. I have personally been diagnosed with precancerous cells and although I was told to “watch and wait” was able to reverse the process with natural therapies.

Despite how scary a diagnosis of cancer can be, I believe it can also be a beautiful opportunity. It’s an opportunity to make positive changes in food choices, habits, relationships, mindset, and how we care for ourselves.

You've survived all that life has thrown at you thus far, and now that you are in the post-treatment phase of your cancer journey, I want to help you THRIVE. To help you reclaim your health, feel like yourself again, and support your body as you embark on the next phase of your life.

Are you ready to RecoverWELL? If yes, I'd love to join you on this journey.

I hear you, and I understand you.

You crave more meaning, you know that there is something powerful waiting within you to be unlocked.

You want to know yourself better, you want to understand, you want to feel deeply connected to yourself and serving your purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the program be directly billed to benefits?

Yes, we direct bill for several benefit companies. Typically benefit companies will cover the cost or part of the cost of consultations, IV therapy, and blood work. Please contact your company directly to inquire about your naturopathic coverage specifically. We do not make any guarantees that we can bill your specific insurance/benefit company. You can withdraw your consent to bill your benefits at any time. You are responsible for covering anything your benefits do not cover.
What forms of payments do you accept?

We will keep a credit card on file to bill any outstanding amounts beyond what your benefits may or may not have covered automatically at the end of your appointments. You will be emailed a receipt anytime your card is billed, or you can request a paper copy at the end of each visit. This makes the end of your visits easier, and speedier! Payment for services, testing, and dispensary items are due in full, at the end of each visit. A receipt will be given when payment is received. Please retain this receipt for your insurance or income tax claims, if applicable. Payments are taken as services are performed. We do not perform block billing.
Do I have to use the clinic dispensary?

You are not required to purchase your supplements from us. You are welcome to purchase them from any health food store or online. Brands recommended to you in your treatment plan are only that - recommendations. You are welcome to use any brand you like. The most important piece is that you are using the correct dose.
Is testing ordered as part of the program covered by OHIP?

Naturopaths can order bloodwork, unfortunately, this is not covered by OHIP. If bloodwork is required patients are welcome to consult with their family doctor, some will write the requisition. Though, truthfully, in my experience, they don't order all of the tests I am looking for, which often delays your care/treatment and requires you to go to the lab a second time for the missed tests. Some benefit companies will help cover the cost of blood work. The exact cost of tests for you is unknown until you have your consultation with Dr Tapp Leonard ND. She only recommends what she feels is necessary to help slingshot your health and your health goals forward.
Can I get a refund?

Refunds are not offered on services and lab work.
Is this targeted to a specific age group or health condition for women?

This program was specifically developed to help women of any age reclaim their lives post breast cancer treatment.
What if I cannot complete the program in 4 months?

It is recommended you complete the program in 4 months, we want you to feel better as fast as possible. However, we do understand life happens and sometimes plans we make need to be delayed. You are welcome to complete the program in more time if needed.
Are appointments in person or virtual?

Appointments can in virtual or in person. Please note, this program is only for residents of Ontario, Canada
What if I am not local, can I get my IVs at a different clinic?

Yes, of course. If you are doing most of the program virtually, or live too far away to receive IV therapy at the clinic in Peterborough, Dr. Tapp Leonard ND is happy to refer you to a clinic closer to your home for your IV therapy. Since services are billed after they happen, you will not be billed for the IVs from PCNM.
Do I have to do everything in the program?

No, absolutely not. Treatments recommended in the program are optional, you can do as little or as much as you like. We do not block bill, so you will only be billed for the services you recieve.
