Meet Dr. Carole Ouellette

My Journey

GFWellness73Do you believe in destiny? Looking back at my journey, I have to say that I totally do.

Growing up, I always saw myself working in a healthcare field helping others. I kept asking myself: Which branch of health care? That was not clear at the time. During my later high school years, I was leaning towards dentistry. While waiting in line at the university’s counsellor’s office to get me dentistry application, I faced a collection of chiropractic books. I glanced through the books and was drawn to the concept and philosophy of chiropractic. Remove interference with only the hands through chiropractic adjustments so the body can heal itself. So simple, yet so profound.

Call it gut instinct, a calling or just a direction, for me, it was all three. Chiropractic resonated with me, my values and my own life philosophy. Dentistry was a great profession as well, but chiropractic was the profession of choice for me. For those who know me, know that it’s more than a job, it’s a passion.

Soon after my undergraduate studies in Moncton (Université de Moncton), I applied at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, Ontario. To my surprise, I was accepted in my program and started in 1993.

Education

I loved my chiropractic education. I found it fascinating to learn about the body. The more I learned, the more I realized how amazing the body is. The most fascinating and memorable part was studying the connections of the brain and nerve system and its capacity to regulate and heal.

Even after learning the basics and getting a good base at CMCC, I continued learning. I was particularly interested in learning more about adjusting babies and pregnant women. Therefore, I completed postgraduate studies in pediatric and pregnancy care. I certified in the Webster technique, which is utilized in the treatment of pregnant women. The Webster technique is very effective in helping better fetal position in the womb (minimizing breech presentation) which leads to better births. I also did post graduate studies in the CATS (Cranial Adjusting Turner Style) technique which is very helpful with head trauma.In 2012, I completed the Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practitioner certification. A course relating the latest research on our work health crisis as it relates to our lifestyle. It also outlines many health lifestyle recommendations for health transformations. It is extremely valuable in a day to day practice. I am presently working on completing a certification in Chiropractic Biophysics Technique. A mirror image corrective technique that helps so many of my members regain their health. It’s a specialty that addresses curve correction such as scoliosis, anterior head posture and deviations. Other certifications include custom orthotic therapy and Scolibrace fitting. Scolibraces are the new custom 3D mirror image braces that are showing excellent results at treating scoliosis.

Professional

I was excited to start my practice in our nation’s capital Ottawa, in 1997. I started as an associate, and then became partner. I feel privileged to have had the chance to learn and connect with so many amazing chiropractors, most who were instrumental in my evolution as a professional.read more»

After years of contemplation, in 2008 our family made a move back home to Grand Falls, New Brunswick. It was time to pursue another dream; opening a Wellness Centre. A place where people of all ages come to experience healing through the chiropractic lifestyle and massage therapy. I feel extremely fortunate to be able to serve members and to witness the body’s healing ability on a daily basis. Witnessing life transformations is amazing!

Personal

If I’m not at my office, you will find me at my first job… at home being a mom. It is my hardest but yet most fulfilling work. In 2008, my husband Marco and I chose to move back to our hometown of Grand Falls, New Brunswick. We felt it more conducive to raise our three wonderful children, Carina (2003), Maxime (2005) and Chanelle (2010).

For those who know me, know that I walk the talk. I strive to find balance in my daily life focusing on time to cook healthy meals, staying fit and finding time for meditation. Those ingredients are represented by the chiropractic lifestyle; be adjusted, eat clean, think positive and sleep deep! Most importantly, I get adjusted on a regular basis to keep my nerve system working at its best. It keeps me healthy and full of energy so I can healthily appreciate every day of my life, keep up with my young children and reach my goal of running until I’m 100 years old!

I love spending quality time with my family, living an active life. All of us keep fit by running and playing various sports such as hockey, softball, soccer and crossfit. Competitive sports always seem to shake my children up but since they have been adjusted since birth, they have grown to listen to their bodies and know when they are out of balance and not properly connected. Chiropractic is their secret weapon to improved performance! When they feel under the weather, they’ll want to be adjusted to remove interference and subluxations so their nerve system heals faster. Chiropractic has been part of our lives as a way to be and stay at our maximum health potential.We practice what we preach, we eat clean as much as possible by following a Paleo-type nutrition plan, and most of all we try to stay positive and focus on the good things life brings us. To allow us to appreciate life values even more, we plan to bring the family on a world mission. We love to travel and find it important to learn about other cultures!

Now that you know so much about me, let me get to know you and your families. I look forward to getting you on your path to better health and vitality! Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
