Dr. Joelle Worgan grew up in Nelson BC, a town very open minded to alternative health and lifestyles, so the idea of becoming a healer came naturally to her. In 2002, she moved to Calgary and pursued a career as a pharmacy technician through an in-house pharmacy-training program. Despite having interest in alternative medicine, she learned about drug generics, chemical ingredients, and the associated conditions treated with these medications. This further intensified her desire to help people from a more natural approach.

Dr. Wu served both as a teacher at the University and as a doctor in a provincial hospital for seven years.

Cindy came to Canada in April 1997 wanting to devote her knowledge and techniques to improve the health of Canadians. Her special techniques and treatment were soon accepted and welcomed.

Downtown Integrative Health Group began in the 1930’s as the Calgary Chiropractic Clinic. Downtown Integrative Health Groupentered the 21st Century acknowledging the importance of integrating the best of the “complementary and alternative” tradition with advances in health science and current Professional Standards of Practice. No one model of health care meets the needs of every one all the time, and treatment options can be confusing and disconnected. I believeDowntown Integrative Health Group has a model of care that clears the fog of decision-making.
