About Alex Gellman

My name is Alexandra Gellman, and here is a brief biography.

I was born in Mexico but immigrated with my family to Canada at an early age. My ancestry is the foundation of my life; my mother’s father came from a long line of prominent Yaqui Indians from the northern state of Sonora, Mexico, who were renowned for their shamanistic abilities.  After a successful and very busy first career in sales and association management for leading international health chains, I followed my passion for health and wellness.

Building on my doctorate in Integrative Medicine from the University of Toronto, I studied for credentials and certification in London (UK) and Canada in homeopathic medicine, iridology, holistic nutrition, and career counseling, and certified as a registered behavioral life coach.

In 1996 I started my practice, Guru and Associates Wellness Inc., offering holistic programs focused on nutrition, homeopathy, stress management, healing emotional concerns and disappointments, achieving life goals and lifestyle changes, and improving well-being.

I aim to inspire passion within individuals, families, and groups to embrace preventative health to improve quality of life and longevity. To achieve this, I offer counseling, wellness workshops/webinars, and one-on-one coaching in person and remotely or in group programs to help individuals achieve healthier habits and profound positive change with a natural approach to wellness and simple “doable” steps. I also work with remote support groups on achieving goals/lifestyle changes and grief support groups.

Dedicated to lifelong learning, I am qualified as a Diabetic Educator. I utilize psychological personality assessment tools such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the Enneagram, and emotional iridology to help reveal, in-depth, the unique motivations of each individual for personal consultations and action plans.

“Homeopathy cures a larger percentage of cases than any other form of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical.”

Mahatma Gandhi

Our book—The How to Guide to a Healthy Mind, Body, Soul, and Spirit, is available in paperback or for Kindle on Amazon

I created The Stress Age Questionnaire, featured in the Wall Street Journal as the only one of its type that brought into the equation the role of stress, loss, and environmental toxins. This tool can be offered to individuals, teams, and groups.

In 2014 I completed the Cancer Prevention Program at the Edison Institute of Nutrition with the designation Certified Cancer Prevention Coach. I have taken this to the workplace to help overcome this horrid condition.

I have often been asked to share my expertise by print publications and am always happy to offer guidance and tips. I have appeared extensively on TV and radio and presented as a keynote speaker at numerous corporate and health conventions. My new book is available on Amazon.

I will be happy to help you on your quest for wellness and self-actualization to be the best you can be… physically, mentally, and emotionally. Please let me know if you’re interested in more information about individual counseling or sessions (in-person and online), workshops, or group/company programs. I’m happy to help! Alex

Note: Please contact me for an appointment or if you have questions. Look under the Wellness menu heading for information on services and appointments and New Patient Information forms for your first visit. Thank you.

Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load – Why You Need to Know the Difference

The Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load are used to measure the rise of blood sugar when carbohydrates are consumed.

But it is […]

Steps to a Healthier Lifestyle with Vega Allergy Testing

  Hidden Food Sensitivities A health consultation with me may involve testing with the Vega Allergy Testing System. This is a non-invasive (and painless) system to test food, chemical, and other intolerances and sensitivities, and isolate foods contributing to inflammation and digestive concerns. It helps identify foods and substances to which you may be sensitive, although not allergic. […]

How to Get a Quick Boost With a Healthy Habit

  I had a woman ask me recently: “Why is my life so hard?” She had experienced a string of stressful life events, including a health scare.

HOMEOPATHY AND WHY IT WORKS

Homeopathy is an incredible system that has the ability to heal and help all who call upon it.

I experienced both protocols growing up and decided to pursue […]

Stress, Your Health, and Nutrition

“Have 5 vegetables a day!” “Eat fresh fruit, not cookies!”     Many of us heard a version of these phrases from a parent or guardian when we were kids. Though we may have protested, even our child-size brains knew they had a point. Your parent’s main concern was that you thrive and grow into […]

Give Yourself the Gift of Mindfulness –

  Whether acknowledged or not, we’ve all experienced at least a few gratifying “living in the moment” moments that were impromptu and remarkable for their impact.
