One of the greatest challenges to becoming more active is that for many people, fitness can be a lonesome, unappealing idea. To help make it easier, we’re excited to announce that we’ve started our free StoneTree Walking Club. It’s fun, friendly way to add more activity to your life.
We meet weekdays, rain or shine, for a 45-minute walk on the trails and streets of Collingwood, led by one of the StoneTree team. The walks are free, and open to everyone You don’t need to be a patient – bring a friend if you like!
For the current days and hours, check the main Walking Club page.

This is an easy way to get outside and get moving, and having someone to walk with always makes things more enjoyable. I hope to see you there!

Colon Hydrotherapy Comes to Collingwood
May 8, 2008
It’s finally here! We’re pleased to announce we’re now offering colon hydrotherapy treatments in our Collingwood naturopathic office. We’re now booking appointments for new and existing patients in our modern hydrotherapy suite.
Colon hydrotherapy (also called colonics, or colon irrigation) is a painless, safe and effective method of removing dried fecal matter and restoring the colon to optimal health and function. It’s one of many treatments used by licensed naturopaths to help:
- restore and/or regulating bowel functions and routines
- reduce the need for laxatives
- reduce toxins built up in the colon
- detoxify the liver and lymphatic system
- prepare for medical procedures that require bowel preparation with laxatives
- enhance the elimination of barium following barium studies
To learn more about how colon hydrotherapy works, visit our colonics page on our website, or call 705-444-5331 to book your appointment.
