Welcome To My Site!
My name is Sue-Anne Hickey and I am a Naturopath and Yoga Teacher, practicing in the West Island of Montreal. As a natural therapist my passion is helping people through natural health, alternative medicine and natural healing.
Always Healthy?
Although I grew up following a fairly healthy lifestyle, I definitely wasn't as healthy and strong as I am now! In 1985 I graduated from Concordia University in Montreal with a B.A., Specialization French/English Translation.
At that time and after, I struggled with Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) that left me constantly craving sweets and becoming very irritated whenever meals were delayed. I also had eczema on my hands for about 20 years, my body was very acidic, and I had candida albicans. My energy was up and down and every afternoon my energy would crash.I came to natural health, naturopathy and healthy eating through my experience with yoga in 1990. You could say that yoga completely transformed my life. I began learning all I could about nutrition and natural health. I made changes to my diet, but in retrospect I also made many mistakes. I became interested in meditation and spirituality. I started taking painting classes, eventually selling my watercolor paintings. I was also able to work through my shyness and insecurities, opening myself up to much greater potential and possibilities in my life.
Around the World Spiritual Journey
In 1993, I left for India and my yoga teachers' training course. I then taught yoga at Indian ashrams, Thai meditation retreats and Nepalese Buddhist monasteries. This was part of a solo year-and-a-half spiritual journey around the world.
A few years after my return, I established a full-time practice teaching yoga in Montreal. In my practice I have encouraged hundreds of people to make long-term, positive changes in their lives. I took classes in macrobiotic cooking and began modifying and perfecting recipes and sharing this knowledge with my yoga students through a quarterly newsletter.
In 2006, I decided to extend my expertise in natural healing and started training as a naturopath. My studies have allowed me to take my own health to a very high level. I found out that the vegetarian diet I had been following for 16 years had left me protein deficient. Slowly, as I made the necessary changes to my diet and lifestyle, took some vitamins and supplements, all of my ailments completely disappeared. My energy skyrocketed, I felt amazing and my body became stronger than ever.
My Passions...
These days... on a sunny summer day, you can find me cycling 60 miles at a fast pace with some friends in my Cycling Club. In the winter I love cross country skiing. I give conferences and write health related articles for local newspapers. I still love sharing my passion for yoga with my students and I have produced a series of yoga and relaxation DVDs and CDs.
Over the years, using natural healing I have helped my clients cure all kinds of ailments, lose weight, make changes in their diets and regain and increase their energy and happiness. I offer
consultations online,
by Skype or by phone and I have my West Island Naturopath office in Beaconsfield, West of Montreal. You can book an appointment by calling 514-577-1963.In my practice as a Naturopath I use various natural health therapies such as diet and lifestyle counseling. My specialty with alternative medicine is in determining your metabolic energy type and creating a personalized healthy eating plan that is easy for you to follow. Following your plan you will notice a substantial increase in energy, more balance, fewer cravings and natural weight loss. My expertise is in working with endurance athletes who want to increase strength and stamina. I also do a personal
analysis of your pH.
I use traditional Chinese and herbal medicines as well as Bach Flower remedies to help you put together a regimen for holistic healing - one which considers and supports your body, mind and spirit.
