Optimum Wellness Centres: Glamorgan

Dr. Cindy Woo graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1995 and has practiced in Calgary ever since. Her love of chiropractic is evident in the laughter, time, and care that she shares with her patients. She actively involves her patients on their road to health and wellness by creating personalized stretches and exercise programs for them.

Dr. Woo has been a fitness instructor since 1991, but she still could not tell you which is more exhausting, a great workout or chasing after her 3 kids.

Dr. Evan Steinke was born in Alberta but has enjoyed traveling and living oversea in the Netherlands and Singapore. He returned to Calgary to begin his undergraduate degree at the University of Calgary. There he studied biomedical sciences and his fascination with human anatomy and health began. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology at the University of Western States in Portland Oregon which is also where he graduated with highest honors as a Doctor of Chiropractic.

Dr. Steinke’s approach to care is to incorporate the best available research with the best of clinical expertise to provide a well balanced and thorough treatment plan. Treatment techniques include a diverse range of adjusting, muscle energizing techniques, soft tissue therapies and exercise regimes. Dr. Steinke puts the patient first being sure to spend time to engage and educate each patient and to make sure they feel heard and respected.

Dr. Kathryn Kurash finds the immensely integrated way the human body functions fascinating and beautiful. To her memory, she has felt called to the health sciences.

After earning her bachelor’s degree in molecular biology from the University of Alberta, she spent many years searching for her path through research, optometry, family medicine, and public health, until she found my home in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

By way of yoga to treat anxiety, Dr. Kurash found an acupuncturist who explained and addressed all of her symptoms. She appreciated the way Chinese Medicine acknowledges the mind-body-spirit connection and understands disease as measures of imbalance in the body with recognizable causes, mechanisms and treatment.

She uses acupuncture to treat the root cause of a disorder rather than masking its symptoms. She believes a holistic and integrative approach to wellness is the most effective and sustainable type of health care.

Dr. Kurash tries to share her knowledge and skills with her children and patients alike. Her favourite issues to treat include mental health, pediatrics, pre- and post-natal clients, pain, migraines, and fertility.

In her spare time, you can find her out with her kids or at the dog park.
