Her recommendations helped me but I was most impressed with her showing true interest in helping me by listening to me and not shuffling me out of her office to see the next patient. Her passion for her work is very evident and I would highly recommend her services to anyone interested.
- I recently consulted with Desiree for a series of Hormonal mood swings, imbalances and poor Digestion. She really made me feel at home and comforted to reveal my most challenging issues. She is compassionate, caring, warm and has the integrity and etiquette I would expect from any health care professional. I am grateful for all of the help and rebalancing of my health that we have been able to do together.
- I attended one of Desiree’s Education and Cooking Classes Called Digestion Reset. This class was fantastic as I got to learn such valuable information such as understanding my own digestive tract and how to relieve my lifelong problem of constipation. I learned how to create the most delicious, health boosting recipes to heal my digestion and make me regular again. I am forever grateful as Desiree really gave me insight on how to care for my greatest health asset- My digestive tract. I’ll definitely be seeing her for private sessions as well.

I love the approach of body and mind well being. I started feeling better and looking at myself differently. Very grateful to her, definitely recommend to anyone.
- I am so grateful that I found Dr. Desiree Abecassis. For years I have suffered from digestive issues and I went to numerous doctors who were not able to help me. The biggest difference I noticed when I first met Desiree is that she really LISTENS. She is a caring and compassionate soul. She also has so much knowledge and approached my problem from various angles: medical, personal, nutritional. Really, my sessions with Desiree were the most satisfying and also effective of any other medical professional I’ve seen in trying to deal with my problems. Since working with Desiree I’ve started slowly making changes to my lifestyle and diet in ways that are manageable, and not to mention delicious! I’m healthier physically and mentally and am so happy to say that my stomach pain and indigestion are almost totally gone. Highly recommend Dr. Desiree Abecassis.
- I took an educational nutrition class with Désirée and learned so much about my own body and raw and whole foods. The recipes were delicious healthy and easy to prepare. She is one of a kind in her field and a true wealth of knowledge. Thanks for teaching me so many healthy tips for Life!
- irritable bowel sydrome, ibs is a very severe and difficult health condition to navigate. after visiting with several doctors i realized none could offer relief. my bowels fluctuated and were unpredictable and so it was almost impossible for the specialists to treat. after 4 visits with desiree, i can so happily say that my digestion is fully under control. i am no longer in pain and no longer have to take medicine with side effects. i highly suggest you see her if you have ibs because i finally have my life back.
- I’ve been seeing Desiree for three years now & she is my go to naturopath. I know that whenever I start feeling off, it’s time to check in with her again. She’s caring compassionate, and takes the time to listen and help with so many aspects of my life and health.

- have benefitted greatly from my Naturopathic sessions with Desiree. I find that she is extremely professional and educated in her field. Her work comes from the heart as she goes above and beyond. She took care of my health from so many different angles I would have never considered. She’ll help you make connections that are greatly insightful. I often check in via Skype consultations which makes it very convenient as I’m a busy mother and I don’t really have the time to travel back-and-forth to appointments. She successfully helped me to resolve my hormonal imbalance and for that I am forever grateful. I continually check in with her as my main health provider because she gives me the answers I need. What’s best is I’m able to collect all of the questions I always have while at the grocery store and ask her for answers about my family’s nutrition.
- I can’t say enough good things about Desiree. She spends so much time listening to my ailments and has found the best solutions for me and my health. She really knows her stuff and I am so grateful for every recommendation she has given me. I am so much better now than before!
- Just came home from our 4th visit to Desiree. My 13 y.o. Son has recently been very reactive to foods, fried foods, dairy, whatever he ate In his limited diet. I’ve been very worried, he’s lost a lot of weight and constantly complained about Aches and upset stomach. Desiree has been a huge help in his recovery he is slowly starting to eat the things that he loves. I don’t know how she does it but he started to experiment with new foods. I am also very grateful for reducing my anxiety. Thank you Desiree from our whole family !
- Very informative and professionnal. She’s been helping a lot with digestive issues.
- I came to Desiree after my first pregnancy in order to create a change in my lifestyle and regain the strength of my body. I found her to be very professional and dedicated to my case and after a few months her treatment helped me feel vital again And helped me make the changes I needed. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who seeks medical help or change in their lifestyle
- I strongly recommend Dr. Abecassis, especially to people who struggle with heartburn. I had my first ulcer when I was 19 and it’s been almost a decade since doctors have been doing all kinds of tests, endoscopies, and giving me all kinds of meds. My family doctor said there is some disfunction of one of my organs that’s why my stomach produces so much acidity and basically there was no cure for it. Going through university has been a nightmare. I wish I met Dr. Abecassis earlier, because it’s only been under a month and I feel improvement already. My friend recommended her and I was very skeptical obviously. Pardon my French, but she is no BS doctor, knows what she is doing definitely. If you have the same problem as me, give her a shot. I’m writing reviews everywhere, because I see amazing results and I feel very comfortable with her which is a big +
- I’ve been consulting with Dr. Desiree over the last year and ½ for various health issues, namely Digestive trouble. Desiree is a fantastic Naturopath. She is extremely professional and skilled at her trade and her interview style makes me feel confident as her knowledge and experience shines through. After many attempts at trying to heal my digestive problems unsuccessfully, Desiree was able to offer recommendations that completely transformed my health for the best. I feel great and I as I continue to implement her suggestions, I continue to experience even more positive results and work towards healing my symptoms. Her motivational approach has been key in helping me get closer to my goal of becoming the best version of me. I highly recommend her services to anyone who’s ready to try a natural approach that yields successful results.
- Our family has been seeing Dr. Desiree Abecassis ND for years. She has helped us change our bad eating & lifestyle habits and has opened us up to a world of healthy eating & living that has been revolutionary for our family. She even offers Health Food Store tours, where she will personally accompany you to the store and educate you on the vast array of health food product options available, what to look for and what to avoid as well as, give you healthy recipes that your family will love. I cant thank her enough for all that she has done for us and we highly recommend her services of Naturopathy and Natural Health Consulting services. She is bright, outgoing, sensitive, encouraging and extremely knowledgable in her field. Thanks Desiree!
- Mme Abecassis really spent the time and gave me great guidance to solve my health condition. I would recommend her to everybody. She is very talented and knowledgeable in Naturopathy.
- I found Desiree to be very dedicated and passionate and she puts her whole heart and soul into her work, and she has helped many patients.
- “When I first met Desiree, I was looking for better ways to eat. We spoke for a moment and right away, I knew I was speaking with an experienced Naturopath. She is caring and provided me with very good advice. I signed up for her new patient starter package to address my Digestive problems and my difficulty sleeping at night. Prior to my visits, my digestive symptoms were terrible. I would also go through various mood changes. Throughout the 4 visits I had with her, she recommend Naturopathic remedies and an eating program which have greatly changed my previous habits and have resolved my Digestive and mood issues. Thank you Desiree.”
- I have been battling Crohn’s disease for many years. My symptoms are often debilitating and severe. My doctors have put me on many different medications, some of which have not worked, others which have but only for a limited time until symptoms re-surface. I decided to try the natural approach because I had nothing to lose. Desiree is super kind and very well educated on the alternative way of healing. The first time I met with Desiree and followed her recommendations, she saved my life. She carefully took my case, listened to all my symptoms, gave me a treatment protocol and prescribed some specific natural remedies. I was feeling on top of the world, my symptoms have not felt that controlled and diminished for as long as I can remember. What I like about Desiree is that its not an “all or nothing” approach. She doesn’t give you unattainable goals, everything is within reason and implemented slowly at your own pace. I am feeling great thanks to Desiree and I strongly recommend a visit.”

- I’ve been suffering with my stomach issues for so many years. I have painful heart burns, irritation, acidity, joint pains, fatigue and the list goes on. I’ve been seeing doctors over and over but without any successful results. When I started seeing Dr Desiree, she heard my story and was very knowledgeable about what was going on. She suggested immediately natural products to get my system working again and flashing away what was accumulated.
- It’s only been 2 times I see her but I can say that I do see the results. My digestion is better, my heart burns have reduced and I can’t wait till everything is resolved.
- Dr Desiree is very motivational and I am starting to have hope again.
- I would definitely recommend her. She can give you information on eating habits, easy recipes and regimes to follow.
- Dr. Abecassis has a passion for healing and is extremely knowledgeable. She is very giving as a practioner and digs deep to find out symptoms and lifestyle. I suffer from digestive issues and she did a very thorough analysis of my health and came up with a regime that was easy to follow. I subscribed to almost all of her recommendations for quite some time and it was most helpful!I felt healed but I have slipped back to some of my bad habits but know I can ask her advise and guidance and she will provide motivation to keep going in the right direction again. Highly recommend her as a sound and approachable practioner who provides advice to receive results! Very personable and makes you feel comfortable.
- After many years of medical treatment for my low bone density and osteoporosis, I realized that the prescribed medication I was given failed to improve my situation. I decided to look for another way to improve my health. I consulted Desiree, and followed her health plan. I needed to try a different approach all together, and I am glad I did. Desiree, was very open, easy to connect with, and had a very professional approach. I felt in complete confidence, and trusting relation with her. She took the time to explain her science, and how it would benefit me. I received the answers to my questions, and I took all the steps she suggested, as they were clear and precise. I am currently following her recommendations and continue to consult with her on a regular basis.
- After consulting Desiree about digestive disturbances that have been haunting me for years, I felt immediate relief with her recommendations. Desiree is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and patient for putting up with my billions of emails to her over the span of one week. My favorite part of the consultation process is that she understands how pressed for time I am in my every day life and really caters my treatment plans so they are easy to follow and incorporate into my routine. Of course I run into circumstances where I cannot follow her program, but there she is, ready to re-tailor anything to convene my lifestyle (and taste buds). I highly recommend her. The spirit of a true healer!
- Before consulting with Desiree I had regular constipation along with acne that were causing a lot of emotional distress. Desiree introduced me to new products and suggested some easy diet tips that were easy to incorporate into my regular routine. I was very happy with Desiree’s approach because it looked deeper to the core of the problem, something I felt was lacking in more conventional methods. I now feel like I have more control over my own body and the knowledge to continue improving my overall health. Meeting with Desiree is a real pleasure, she carefully listens to any small cues to what might be causing your symptoms and then designs a well thought-out program for you. I would recommend her to friends and family that are looking for more profound and long lasting results to any health concerns they might be experiencing. Achieving optimal health is an on-going process and I look forward to continue working with Desiree.
- Dr. Abecassis was recommended to me by a friend and patient of the Resource Health Center. I visited the website resourcehealthcenter.com and found it very informative and had a long list of testimonials from very happy clients, so I decided to contact the center. I spoke with Dr. Abecassis directly and she was so warm and helpful in setting up our first appointment. She treated me for my anxiety issues with Naturopathy and Homeopathy and really inquired about the root of my health issues. She took ample time to assess my symptoms and concerns and recommended very affordable natural supplements and foods to support my healing. To my astonishment, my condition improved dramatically and it is the first time in many years that my anxiety is under control. I feel so grateful to have finally visited with someone who could truly help me.
- I’ve been on weight loss diets for as long as I can remember. I’ve been successful in the past by depriving myself, but every time I stopped dieting and returned to eating “normally”, the pounds would come back. Over the last few years, I gained 75lbs and my doctor suggested that I take medication to lower my cholesterol. I was determined to take charge of my health without taking pills, so I consulted Desiree and we completed a thorough assessment of my symptoms. Any skepticism I may have had about naturopathy vanished immediately. She started me on an easy-to-follow plan involving ingredient substitutions, supplements and simple lifestyle changes. In the 2 months since our first consultation, I’ve already lost 40lbs, and my cholesterol levels have fallen back to healthy levels. I was able to do it all at my own pace, within my busy schedule, and without experiencing any cravings or feelings of hunger. I genuinely feel healthier and my most recent blood test results confirm it.
- Desiree’s role has been significant in helping me heal my spirit and my body’s overall health. Through a thorough examination of my state-of-mind and daily routines, she was able to provide me with guidance on various aspects of my life from eating habits, sleeping and relaxation techniques, as well as thought processes. I began to understand myself better; why I chose to feel the way I did and why my body was suffering the consequences. Desiree treated me as a friend and as a complex human, where both spirit and body are deeply intertwined. In understanding our thoughts and behaviors, we might understand are our body’s reactions as well. Coupled with her knowledge of healthy eating practices, she skillfully provides you with a balanced lifestyle plan, tailored to your specific needs. In addition, she’s incredibly supportive, friendly and empathetic, which made the consultations that much more pleasant. I highly recommend Desiree!:)
- I originally consulted with Desiree for digestive problems I had been suffering from for years. They were so severe and no specialist could determine what was going on. After just one visit with her and upon implementing her thorough treatment plan, my symptoms almost immediately subsided. I am so grateful, feel so much better and the suggestions have become part of my new lifestyle. Her professionalism and knowledge really make for an effective and enjoyable visit.
- Dr. Abecassis never treated me with anything but the utmost care and tendersness. I believe I may have fulfilled my capacity to enjoy life through her guidance.
- Prior to consulting with Desiree, I was feeling very tired of the pain that I was carrying around for a year. The medical establishment provided many worthwhile tests but nothing showed up in their analysis- good for me – but I knew that there was something wrong– something was stuck. With Desiree’s help and a few simple steps towards the healing process of my inflamed intestinal tract, I was able to move forward with life. The recommendations that Desiree offered exceeded my expectations. Her treatment plan was so unique that it surprised the medical establishment! –the two doctors that I dealt with every three months were impressed and encouraged me to continue with what was working for me. Desiree’s service is one I would gladly recommend to any of my loved ones.”
