Meet Cathy Bradley

🌿 Welcome Message
Welcome. I’m Catherine Bradley, Doctor of Medical Heilkunst and Doctor of Medical Animal Heilkunst.
I’m here to support your journey toward greater balance, vitality, and peace—through compassionate, natural, and individualized care for both people and animals.
Rooted in the principles of Heilkunst Medicine, my approach offers gentle yet effective pathways to lasting wellness and renewal.
I am continually humbled by the deep connection I share with the animals who come into my care. These sentient beings—filled with wisdom, sensitivity, and quiet strength—communicate in subtle yet profound ways. Their presence teaches me to listen more deeply, to honor their needs, and to appreciate the unique bonds they share with their loved ones.
Together, we can support their healing journeys, helping them move from quiet suffering toward renewed vitality, comfort, and balance.
My approach to support goes beyond what traditional healthcare often offers—providing care that respects the dignity, individuality, and innate wisdom of your animals, as well as the special relationship you share with them. You can trust that their health and wellness will always be met with compassion, dedication, and the highest level of attention.
It would be my privilege to work alongside you.
Warmly,
Cathy
Healing through Connection and Natural Wisdom
Meet Catherine Bradley, DMH, DMAH
Doctor of Medical Heilkunst & Doctor of Medical Animal Heilkunst
Accredited Member, International Heilkunst Association
I’ve been engaged in natural and holistic medicine since 1998, with a deep focus on Heilkunst Medicine and Educationsince 2001. My path began as a personal search for healing from chronic migraines—and became a lifelong calling to help others experience true wellness on every level: body, mind, and spirit. Through Heilkunst treatment, I not only found relief from years of chronic pain but also discovered the profound potential of natural medicine to restore balance and vitality. That experience continues to inspire my work every day—with both people and animals.
I hold designations as a Doctor of Medical Heilkunst and Doctor of Medical Animal Heilkunst, along with diplomas in Homeopathy and Animal Heilkunst, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology/Anthropology from the University of Guelph. My ongoing studies in Herbology, Dynamic Education, and Anthroposophical Medicine allow me to continually deepen and refine my approach.
Before entering full-time practice, I worked for over 15 years in social services and health care, supporting individuals and families in areas such as mental health, addiction, and special needs. These experiences helped shape my compassionate, integrative style of care.
Today, my home-based practice offers a peaceful space for healing, education, and connection—supporting people and animals with a wide range of health concerns, from emotional and behavioural patterns to chronic and degenerative conditions.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my family, enjoying creative pursuits like photography, writing, and digital scrap booking, or connecting with nature through gardening, cooking, fermenting, and preserving, as well as being active in yoga, pilates, skiing, and more.
🌿 Heilkunst Medicine
Whole Healing for Body, Mind, and Soul
Heilkunst is a comprehensive system of medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy.
It is an individualized and multidimensional approach to health that is both safe and humane.
Each of us carries unique layers of disease, making every treatment a personal journey.
Heilkunst focuses not on treating symptoms, but on understanding why they arise—addressing the root cause to restore balance and wholeness.
Heilkunst is whole healing.
🌸 Three Core Principles of Natural Law
1. Therapeutic Regimen
Balancing what is imbalanced
Regimen focuses on restoring harmony and vitality in the body by supporting healthy physiology and natural immunity.
It includes:
-
Nutrition – essential vitamins, minerals, and whole foods
-
Hydration – adequate water intake
-
Dormition – restorative sleep and exposure to natural light
-
Exercise – movement, activity, and creative expression
Connection with nature and balanced sexual health are also integral to overall well-being.
2. Therapeutic Medicine
Combating disease through dynamic healing
Natural, dynamic medicines are used to stimulate the body’s innate healing energy. These remedies are complementary and do not interfere with pharmaceuticals, herbs, or supplements.
Heilkunst medicine has been safely practiced and refined for over 200 years, supporting the body to heal from the inside out.
3. Therapeutic Education
Empowering through understanding
Education is the foundation of true healing.
By fostering self-awareness and personal responsibility, individuals and families become active participants in their own well-being.
Empowerment brings confidence, clarity, and lasting change.
🌿 Expectations of Treatment
Healing is a journey—a partnership between practitioner and patient.
To receive the full benefit of Heilkunst treatment, we ask for:
-
A genuine desire and commitment to be healthy
-
A timeline of significant life events and traumas
-
Awareness that healing may be challenging at times—it took years to arrive at this point
-
Understanding that treatment is individualized, never “one-size-fits-all”
-
Patience and dedication—healing unfolds over time, not overnight
-
The joyful realization of what it truly means to feel and be well, unique to each individual
-
🌼 How Does Heilkunst Work?
Healing is a dynamic process involving all three pillars: Regimen, Medicine, and Education.
There are two essential sides to becoming healthy:
-
The Regimen side strengthens the body to assist with healing.
-
The Generative side combats disease at its root and stimulates deeper regeneration.
Both must work together for true restoration of balance and vitality.
The Generative Power
This is the life force—the energy that gives rise to both health and disease. It governs growth, regeneration, and cellular renewal. By stimulating this deeper power, Heilkunst helps prevent disease from progressing and supports the body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
🌸 The Healing Process
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment that may include:
-
Lifestyle and habits
-
Acute and chronic conditions
-
Character traits (known as constitutions)
-
Childhood and emotional experiences
-
Current medications, supplements, and prior treatments
A vital component is your timeline of traumas—the experiences that have shaped your physical, emotional, and mental state.
This timeline extends from the present to birth, and even beyond into ancestral and genetic patterns.
By revealing and resolving these layers, we bring awareness to the patterns that prevent healing—transforming them into pathways for growth.
The practitioner will guide you through your timeline in stages, prescribing sequential remedies specific to time, place, and individual need. Each appointment includes an assessment of progress and ongoing support.
🌿 Comprehensive Assessment Includes:
-
Metabolic Type
-
Body Type
-
Glandular/Endocrine Type
-
Blood Type
-
Constitution
-
Organ Function
-
Timeline of Traumas
These assessments help refine dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional recommendations, as well as ideal approaches to exercise, hydration, and sleep.
They also inform specialized programs such as the GAPS, SCD, Ketogenic, Paleo, or Elimination diets, tailored to each person’s unique needs.
🐾 Animals and Heilkunst
The same foundational principles apply to animals, with the exception of blood type.
Healing considers species, breed, and pack dynamics within the natural hierarchy of the animal kingdom.
Animals do not carry belief systems, but their health is deeply influenced by their human companions.
Through this connection, both animal and caretaker can experience profound healing together.
🌞 Benefits of Heilkunst
Healing with Heilkunst is a journey from the inside out—from the deepest cellular level to the highest spiritual awareness.
It is safe, compassionate, and deeply transformative.
Heilkunst supports all stages of life—from pregnancy and infancy through adulthood and elder care—and extends to our beloved animal companions.
Experience whole healing.
Reconnect with your vitality, clarity, and the truth of who you are.
