Masking Policy Update - Effective June 1, 2023

We have updated our staff masking policy from Mandatory to Recommended.

What does this mean for you? This means that our staff at Proactive Pelvic Health Centre may or may not be wearing a mask when you attend your appointment. Our staff members will make their own personal decision based on their discretion and comfort.

Should you prefer your health care practitioner to wear a mask during your in-clinic session, please let your practitioner know at the start of your session so they may don a mask. Your comfort is our first and foremost priority so please feel free to let us know should you prefer we wear one during your appointment.

The masking policy for our clients will remain the same as previous. We respect our client’s right of choice and should you wish to receive treatment unmasked this is permitted. Should you wish to receive treatment unmasked, you acknowledge and accept all risks and liability associated with exposure.

Pre-screening questionnaires will no longer be necessary, but we do ask that if you are not feeling well, please inform our office 24 hours in advance so that we may reschedule your appointment without penalty. Cancellations less than 24 hours’ notice will result in a cancellation charge as per clinic policy.

Please note that this updated COVID-19 policy may be revisited and may be modified depending on public health recommendations, infection rates and the professional judgment of our clinical team.

Please feel free to contact us at 647-352-7742 or info@proactiveph.com if you have any further questions. We thank you for your patience and cooperation.

A pessary is a removable, medical-grade silicone device that is inserted into the vagina to aid in the management of symptoms of two pelvic health conditions: pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. In the case of pelvic organ prolapse, the pessary helps to lift the descended organs and support them from below. In the case of stress urinary incontinence, the pessary places a small amount of pressure on the urethra (the tube that drains the bladder), helping to keep it closed and therefore minimize the chance of urinary leakage.

Maria Cheung is a compassionate Somatic Pleasure Coach in mind, body, spirit, sex and relating. She is an American Board Certified Clinical Sexologist (ID:23917), specializing in sexual yoga, with over 15 years of experience in the healthcare industry. She has a Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Cell Biology from McGill University, and a Master Degree in Public Health, specializing in socio-behavioural studies from the University of Waterloo. She is also honoured to come from a family of Doctors in Traditional Chinese Medicine (her great grandfather) and is continuing this weaving of eastern holistic indigenous healing wisdom by graduating from the ONLY government accredited school in the world for Authentic Tantra® from the Institute for Authentic Tantra Education, in Kelowna BC, Canada. She is specifically trained in teaching methods derived from the Shangpa Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism (secular) alongside her western neuroscience (eg. polyvagal theory), and sociobehavioural science (eg.non-violent communication) background.

Combining methods in Western and Eastern medicine, she guides her clients through a proven program specializing in sexual yoga as an Authentic Tantra® Practitioner. Her methods combine dimensions in Meditation, Connection, Pleasure and Movement to self-heal, applying a holistic trauma-informed and somatic approach, integrating growth both in the bedroom and into your life.

On a personal note, she too has struggled with and been on a decade long healing journey. She ended a traumatic engagement through infidelity at 25, came out as bisexual and polyamorous, and has spoken out about her period of suicidal thoughts through all of this. Throughout she’s had the (often painful and curious) opportunity to observe the impact of our personal mindset, community pressures, societal systems and cultures on suffering through sensitive or taboo experiences and identities. Along the way, she too resisted, avoided, and fumbled until she developed new skills in a compassionate mindset combined with more sophisticated tools and habits, developed in a safe community, to navigate all of it now, with more ease, grace and even humour.

Today, she finds great joy and fulfilment in diving deep and in dedication to her clients and audiences on their healing journeys in sexual health, pleasure, intimate relationships and in life. Her approach is both playful and compassionate, warm and wise. She believes in meeting her clients where they are, and teaching them to self-heal through the wisdom of their own beautiful bodies.

Outside of the clinic you’ll find Maria making time to meditate, rock climb, paddle board, ski or dance any chance she gets.

Maria offers coaching to individuals and couples to meet their unique pleasure needs and goals.

Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel!

If you’ve landed here then you’re curious about how I can help you, which is so exciting!!

Here is what you need to know. The plan we curate for you based on your goals will be rooted in the belief that you deserve top of the line care, someone to truly hear you, work with you and make a realistic treatment plan that you can rely on. This looks like us working collaboratively as a team!!

I have had my fair share of health hurdles, so trust me when I say I understand how exhausting, confusing, and even lonely it can feel to want to feel better but not know where to go next.

I have undergone extensive education in women’s health to be able to bring you advanced care and strategies because this is what you deserve. In your initial appointment I will ask you a ton of questions to understand what your body is telling us, we will discuss what testing would be meaningful for you, and what therapies may be useful for you. Not only that but we will strategize how you will implement these changes in your life!! This is the magic of personalized medicine!! You will leave my initial appointment with things to do.

My treatment plans strongly emphasize nutrition, lifestyle coaching and nutraceutical prescribing.

In addition, I have completed the necessary requirements to prescribe hormone replacement therapy, which is the gold standard support throughout menopause, and within Ontario.

Here is a list of conditions I see a lot and love to treat!

Gastrointestinal: Constipation Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Uncomfortable bloating Acid reflux/indigestion GERD

Menopause: Hot flashes Night sweats Unpredictable periods Trouble sleeping Frustrated easily/no patience Brain fog Depression/Anxiety Weight Gain Low libido Worsening PMS Prevention of osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease (cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure)

Vulvar Conditions: Vaginal dryness (burning, itching) Lichen sclerosis Bacterial Vaginosis Chronic yeast infections Recurrent UTI’s

Hormones: Endometriosis PCOS Acne PMS (mood swings, headaches, breast tenderness, bloating) Painful Periods PMDD Generalized fatigue

Basically I spend my days talking about pooping, vulvas and hormones and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Some fun things about me: I have completed my 200hr yoga teacher training in Bali! Yoga always feels like coming home to me. I have a slight addiction to reading scientific literature and staying up to date. I’ll never say no to a good soup, or a nice dinner out. I do a handstand a day, it makes me happy. I have ADHD, which I think makes me good at my job … Trust me, I can find some creative ways to help you fit a treatment plan into your day.

I hope to see you in my schedule and I cannot wait to get started with you,

Dr. Rachel
