Chiropractic care has significantly changed my life. Over the course of 4 years I have experienced physical, mental and emotional improvements and I have become very aware of my body and what it needs.
Chiropractic first became important to me when seeking alternate, natural care for my newborn daughter, 4 years ago. Through chiropractic care I not only learned how to physically maintain my daughter’s good health but became confident in my attempts to prevent common infant and childhood illnesses. My chiropractor’s office became a safe place for me to bring my daughter for a regular “wiggle”, or when a fever arose or there was fear of an ear infection. I always left the office with great advice, peace of mind and best of all, NO PRESCRIPTIONS!!!
My daughter, now 4 years old is very healthy and drug-free. This I owe primarily to Dr. Amy Robinson, the care she provides and the knowledge she shares. With Dr. Amy’s help I have made informed decisions concerning my daughter’s health care.
Dr. Amy has also helped me tremendously throughout my second pregnancy. By way of regular chiropractic adjustments, professional advice and being a great personal inspiration, I experienced a wonderful pregnancy and was able to labour and deliver my son naturally after having had a caesarean birth the first time around.
Thank you Dr. Amy!
I am so happy knowing that my health and that of my family is in such gentle, warm, caring hands.

Dr. Amy Robinson has been a lifeline for us. Not only does she provide us with essential information about our baby’s health, she helps with all concerns we have had about him.
I never imagined bringing my child to a chiropractor. I used to think “why would I do that to an innocent baby”. Now, I think all parents should bring their baby to see a chiropractor, especially Dr. Amy. Her kind hearted, empathic and knowledgeable approach has helped our baby become the healthy and happy child he is today.
Not only has it changed his sleep for the better, his mood and personality have eased up and he is now much happier than he was prior to Dr. Amy’s interventions.
You can tell he enjoys his treatment as he sits patiently (mostly), while she works her magic. He typically doesn’t sit still for anything!! Dr. Amy and her care has allowed our family to enjoy our baby to the fullest and we know now that he is healthy from the inside out. His body has amazed my husband and I and the changes we see have been incredible.
Thank you to Dr. Amy Robinson.

You have helped my son in so many ways that we cannot express our thanks enough. I want others to see how you have helped my little boy.
The day my son was born he had absolutely no movement in his arm. My husband and I were so worried we had no idea what to think. Doctors told us that he may recover, and he may not. They said his condition was an injury to the Brachial Plexis which occurs during birth.
After our first visit to Sick Kids, I was terrified. We were told that he may need surgery which may not even help. It all depended on how severe his nerves were damaged. We were also told that whatever movement he has when he is done is what he will have forever. As parents we wanted to see our son well and looked into all possibilities which may help. This is when we decided to go see Dr. Amy.
In all honesty after the first assessment my son was beginning to rotate his shoulder. After each visit he would lift his arm up, more and more. Thanks to Dr. Amy after one month of seeing her, my son was moving his arm.
When we followed up with Sick Kids they had seen a great improvement with him that we now need to go visit when he is one. I was so happy to hear that my son did not need surgery.
My son is now four months and you cannot tell that he ever had a problem with his right arm.
I love Dr. Amy so much for helping my son, and will never forget what she’s done.
Thank you so much Dr. Amy!!
Love Always,

I started seeing Dr. Amy because of my neck and shoulder pain, which has reduced drastically, resulting in fewer headaches. One significant improvement I did not expect was that since beginning chiropractic treatment, my digestion improved. I went from taking medication everyday and other acid reducing over the counter meds (Gaviscon) to stopping both completely. This for me is absolutely amazing!!!
Thanks to Dr. Amy and Vibrant Life Chiropractic, my body has also healed itself following an intense whiplash injury from a car accident. I had been seeing Dr. Amy for a year before the accident and I accredit her adjustments leading up to the accident as the main reason that my body was able to heal and return back to its original state. I would absolutely recommend chiropractic adjustments for anyone feeling pain, looking for alternatives to prescription or over the counter drug therapy, after an accident of any kind or simply to maintain a healthy body and life!

I want to share my appreciation for Amy and all she does. My family members now call me a walking (talking) billboard for chiropractic care – I can’t help it! I am so excited that I have found this kind of health care for myself and my family.
I started seeing Amy when I was 6 months pregnant, rather reluctantly, I admit. I was referred by a friend who knew that I would feel comfortable with Amy, and she was right. At the time, I was experiencing intense leg and low back pain, to the point that I could hardly put weight on my right leg. Sitting at work was almost unbearable, and sleep was greatly disturbed. I was seriously worried about how I would be able to go through labour if I was in this much pain months before that was to happen. Not to mention what I would do if this pain continued after the baby was born.
After the very first visit, I felt a difference. I could put more weight on my leg, and I had a better sleep that night than in previous weeks. As I continued with my adjustments through the following weeks, the pain literally disappeared. It felt like a miracle!
But the best part of being introduced to Amy at this point was the information she shared with me for succeeding with my goals to have a healthy pregnancy, and natural childbirth. I quickly came to realize that by continuing my adjustments through my pregnancy, I was preparing my body to be able to go through labour in the best way possible. I was given books, websites, and articles that informed and inspired me. I had finally found a source I could trust, and that re-affirmed that I could experience natural, un-medicated childbirth (not something supported or understood by most of my family and friends)
One thing stuck in my mind most of all – Amy told me that the greatest thing I could do was to trust my body. And so I prepared for my labour mentally and spiritually, taking comfort in knowing that so many women before me (Amy included!!) had succeeded in going this route.
And I did it!!! My labour was only 6 hours long, compared to the 12 & 24 hour labours experienced by my sisters. I stuck fast to my determination to go “all natural” – and I now feel like I met the ultimate challenge and passed. It has given me more confidence in myself, and such a sense of accomplishment. I wouldn’t do it any other way. And I owe it all to Amy that I was able to achieve this. My beautiful little boy was the perfect end result.
Thank you Amy! We are so glad God brought us to you at the perfect time.

Chronic stiffness compromised my exercising motivation, plus being middle aged, I wanted to maximize my health. Seeing Dr. Amy let me know that a misalignment (in my spine) could lead to other issues…
Seeing Dr. Amy keeps me motivated to take care of my physical well being, has helped me feel more relaxed, confident and release life long tensions resulting from past emotional, spiritual and physical issues.
I have come to rely on and look forward to seeing Dr. Amy – as her treatments always empower me. I feel renewed and realigned in a very holistic way and she always seems to know exactly where any tension or stress is – even if I don’t! Her service affects me both physically and emotionally – putting the bounce back in my step. – Also, I have much fewer aches and pains and ailments since using her service!
Dr. Amy has a wonderful ‘table side’ manner that instantly makes me feel welcome and at ease. My expectations of chiropractic have changed. I expect more now, as I have discovered that it’s much more than just a physical alignment!
I have chosen to always use chiropractic care – specifically delivered as a holistic service for well being!

I want to share my story of what value I have received since meeting Amy at a local event, and afterwards starting chiropractic care. I lived in pain every day. I had constant headaches, and the tension in my back was almost unbearable. I felt as if I had a knife digging into the area between my shoulder blades. Even my low back began to ache. My energy was next to nil, and despite feeling physically and mentally exhausted, I was virtually unable to sleep. I was a walking zombie.
The hardest part of all of this was the effect it was having on my life and the people around me. I was working in a job I detested, I was unhappy in my marriage, and I was not capable of being the loving mother I wanted to be. I was so riddled with negativity that I simply was not myself.
When I met Amy, she talked about the power inside each and every one of us. A small light went on inside of me – it was true that my body kept on functioning without my conscious input… maybe there was hope.
I have to say that I was skeptical. Even with her constant reassurance that my body could and would heal, I wasn’t so sure. How could a chiropractic adjustment, which took only minutes each visit, stimulate my body to change its ways?
I stuck with it, even though I noticed very little change at first. I think I was so desperate, and Amy was the only person who had given me a glimmer of hope.
As the weeks passed, I felt I had not changed at all. Prior to seeing Amy, I had come to depend on Tylenol and had been eating them like candy. And then one day, I realized that I hadn’t taken one in over a week. When I reflected, I saw that my headaches were lessening in intensity and frequency. I was sleeping better, and I no longer depended on an afternoon rest to get me through the remainder of the day.
Since that day, I came to think of Amy as the trigger that set my life back in motion. Her compassion and patience, along with her constant motivation and education has impacted my family in ways I can’t even begin to say.
I no longer suffer from headaches, and the tension is so greatly lessened I hardly remember what I used to feel like. I have the energy to play with my children, and have even found the courage to change careers. I am a new person in every way.
So when someone makes a comment when I say I am taking my family to the chiropractor for our weekly check up, I proudly state that chiropractic has changed my life. Without Amy, and the care she provides, I don’t know where I would be.
What I do know, is that every area of my life is improved, and I will travel any distance to get adjusted. I AM A BELIEVER.
With great gratitude and respect.

I would love to give some feedback on your practical care.
The one thing that sticks in my mind with my daughter Mikayla is when she had difficulty walking at 17 months - and within 2 weeks of starting the program she walked so magically and quickly - which was an amazing experience for me.
As for colds and fevers she breaks free in 2 days 3 at its worst, and rarely gets sick.
As for Luca, his allergies have minimized especially his asthma, he has been on less puffers and his immune system is able to fight hard. He is now what we call a "healthy sick".
Thanks

Anytime myself or my daughter feel like we are starting to fall ill (ie. a cold/cough) we go to Dr.Amy’s for an adjustment and she ‘turns our power on’ and our body fights off the virus within a day. It ends up being little sniffles vs a big stuffed up cold. When my daughter was 2 ½ she would get coughs in the winter. Dr.Amy would do the chest wiggles to help clear up the mucous and sure enough she would be fine within the next 2 days.
Also, during my pregnancy in my last trimester, I carried very low putting a lot of pressure on my lower back. An adjustment from Dr.Amy would relieve the back pain.
Thank you!

The universe guides everyone in different ways. In my quest to deal with anxiety, the universe has directed me to Dr. Amy. My life has changed drastically where people have commented "what you are doing, keep doing it"
My weekly adjustments brings me closer to in achieving a healthier and positive life.
~ Virginia 2011
Since my sessions with Dr. Amy, my neck and back has drastically improved. I have better mobility and have seen a difference even when I walk. I am looking forward to a healthier life.
Thank you Dr. Amy
~ Angelo 2011
Had a problem with the sciatic nerve that left me in a lot of pain. Chiropractic visits helped with the immediate issue and relieved the pain. Ongoing treatments have kept the issue at bay. I'm happy to say it's been 2.5 years without a flare-up. Thank you Dr. Amy for all your help with not only this issue but with overall "maintenance". Feeling great these days.
~ Elva 2011
I bring my son Tyler who is 3.5 years old and suffers from constipation. After going to Dr. Amy for adjustments my son is usually better within 24 hours. Not only this, but he's also one of the only children in daycare that was off sick only 1 time last winter. Way below the average. Looking forward to another - sick free - winter.
~ Tyler 2011
My son who is 8 years old has asthma. Before starting visits for chiropractic adjustments he was on his puffers (steroids) 24/7. Now I'm happy to say he only needs them occasionally. Dr. Amy knows exactly when he is going to flare again or if he had a difficult time right before our visit. With these treatments it's helped our son drastically improve his asthma.
~ Brendon 2011
I started going to Dr. Amy about 7 years ago when I had recurring back problems. Within a couple of months I felt better. Through the years I've had adjustments regularly which has helped to limit any reoccurrence. I've also introduced my wife and children to Dr. Amy and happy to say we all are doing
very well with very little sickness in our home.
~ Tim 2011
I have seen quite a few chiropractors in my lifetime. It all started when I was 14 years old and I’d been told I couldn’t have children. Since then I have seen a chiropractor regularly. I have 2 beautiful children aged 24 and 18. Chiropractic care is very important to me.
I was first introduced to Dr. Amy at a Lunch and Learn in my workplace. I was so impressed by her I decided to make an appointment. Am I ever glad I did. Dr. Amy takes her time with each and every visit. Her adjustments are so gentle and non-invasive. She has the softest touch I’d ever experienced. She makes me feel great when I leave, so much so I look forward to my next appointment. The entire office is relaxed, friendly and welcoming. Marissa, Dr. Amy’s office administrator is responsible for a big part of that experience. The office is very family and child friendly yet it still maintains its professional atmosphere.
My well being has certainly changed for the better since my visits here.
Thank you Dr. Amy and Marissa,
~ Ricki Chalaturnyk 2011
“I had never really thought about chiropractic care before Dr. Amy visited my office to conduct a Lunch-and-Learn presentation. What came across most in the presentation was how Dr. Amy seemed genuinely concerned for the wellbeing of her patients. As a result, I decided to take my family of four to attend one of Dr. Amy’s evening information sessions. Shortly thereafter, we all came back for an initial assessment and became part of Dr. Amy’s family of patients. Before visiting Dr. Amy, I considered myself reasonably healthy, but certainly suffered from various ‘inconveniences’ like lower back pain. I started visiting Dr. Amy three times a week and have since graduated to twice a week, then once a week, and now once every two weeks. Over that time, Dr. Amy has helped me to reduce long-term aches and pains, improve my posture, and make better choices for my overall health – I’ve even lost weight. Not only do I feel better, but I also have more energy, and seem to get sick less often. However, even more important to me was the knowledge that I had found someone who I can trust with the ongoing care of my family – My wife has benefited from her visits and both of my children seem much more energized, recovering significantly more quickly from any illnesses that they encounter. Dr. Amy has a wonderful rapport with the kids – They can’t wait for their next visit… I’d continue about their experiences, but I’m sure they will have their own ‘stories’ about Dr. Amy and the office. I would like to thank Dr. Amy, Marissa, and Silvana for making my family feel like part of the Vibrant Life Chiropractic family!”

“My family and I look forward to every visit with Dr. Amy. She is more than just a chiropractor to us. I like that after being adjusted Dr. Amy gives us tips and pointers on how to improve our overall wellness. She regularly knows what is causing our discomfort before we tell her – Sometimes even before we know ourselves! The office atmosphere is relaxing and kid-friendly, which is very important with two little ones always by my side. We feel at home and welcome. I would strongly recommend Dr. Amy to anyone looking to improve his or her quality of life. If you are a parent with young children, you couldn’t make a better choice! Thank you for looking after my family.”
~Ronelyn 2011
“I like visiting Dr. Amy for my adjustments… Daddy calls them adjustments; my little sister Sephe calls them wiggles. I really like the Bear Hugs that Dr. Amy gives me and how she helps me to keep my ears and nose clear. I don’t like feeling sick. I always feel better after visiting Dr. Amy! Are we going to see Dr. Amy again soon Daddy?”
~ Grissom (5 yrs old) – As told to Daddy 2011
“Grissom likes to go first… I wait my turn to see Dr. Amy for my Wiggles… Wiggles make me feel good. I like colouring and the toys… My favourite toy is the blue turtle… We always get stickers from Marissa or Silvana when we’re done!”
~ Persephone (Almost 3 yrs old) – As told to Daddy 2011
Coming to your office every two weeks has been on of the best things I have done for my overall wellbeing.
Approximately eight years ago I fell and hurt my back and was in a lot of pain. At the time, I was under the impression that you went to a Chiropractor when you were in pain and needed help. I came in to see you and slowly you were able to get me and my back into shape.
In the past I would quite often have back pain and need to slow down and rest.
You introduced me to the idea that ongoing chiropractic care was essential to preventing not only back issues but promoting all around healthy living. Coming in for an adjustment and talking over my health concerns has become a very important part of my everyday life. I have learned that everything is connected and whatever your health issues are ongoing adjustments will address them.
You always look at the whole picture and help your patients address the causes as well as the cures for many of their issues.
Your office is very welcoming and comfortable. Marissa is always friendly and accommodating. There is never a long wait. It is more like a visit to a friend than going to a doctor.
Thank you for all of your support over the years.
~ Rosalie C 2011
For a few years now, myself and my husband have been going to Vibrant Life for adjustments. From headaches to painful injuries, Dr. Amy has worked her magic to make what seemed impossible to heal, possible. When our son was born, we didn’t hesitate to have him under Dr. Amy’s care. Dr. Amy and her excellent team are always ready to accommodate our needs and give us excellent advice. They truly go out of their way to help. We recommend everyone to visit Vibrant Life to begin to truly feel healthier inside and out. We are truly thankful for all the magic they have worked on us. Thank you Vibrant Life.
