Feeling burned out, stuck, or out of rhythm with your health? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.


I help individuals restore balance, reduce stress, and reconnect with nature and themselves through personalized wellness plans and nature-informed coaching. Whether you're recovering from illness, navigating chronic stress, pursuing personal growth, or optimizing your health, my approach is designed to meet you where you are and move you forward.


At the core of my practice is the Integrative Health Mapping Assessment—a functional, systems-based approach to understanding how your physiology, psychology and lifestyle habits interact. This unique assessment gives you a personalized, measurable, and results-driven lifestyle medicine plan that aligns with your body, environment, and true nature.

How I Help:

Personalized Wellness & Lifestyle Medicine Prescription – A functional approach to stress resilience and the health of your digestive, metabolic, hormonal, cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems.

Somatic & Ecopsychology-Based Coaching – Grounded in breathwork, nervous system regulation, and nature therapy.

Professional Training & Mentorship – I train and mentor health professionals and nature-connected individuals through certifications in breathwork, forest school, wild food, wilderness skills, first aid, and ecotherapy—rooted in my academic research and lived experience on the land.

📅 Let’s reconnect you with what matters most. Book a free discovery call and take the first step toward meaningful, measurable change.

About me

I’m Dr. Shawn Slade, an Educator and Integrative Health and Ecotherapy Practitioner with a Ph.D in Health and Rehabilitation Sciences and over 20 years of experience supporting individuals and organizations in achieving resilience, well-being, and purpose-driven living.


I’ve been internationally recognized in the health and wellness industry, presenting research across North America and contributing to innovations in health coaching, nature therapy, and the health food sector. As a former professor in health promotion and founder of an award-winning functional beverage company, I bring both academic insight and real-world entrepreneurial experience to my work.


I founded Elk & Acorn, a homestead and wilderness wellness centre in the forest of Eastern Ontario. Here, I empower people to reconnect with their bodies, their environments, and a deeper sense of purpose through personalized wellness plans and educational programs that integrate lifestyle medicine, somatic practices, and nature-based therapy.


Rooted in my Ph.D research and outdoor leadership training, my certification programs and mentorships empower participants with the skills and confidence to bring evidence-based, nature and lifestyle medicine into their own work—or to deepen their personal practice.
