Hi everyone,
My name is Dr. Shabita Teja.
I wanted to introduce myself as I’ve recently joined the team at Sinclair Wellness Centre as a Naturopathic Doctor.
I’m from the Lower Mainland and went to UBC to become a pharmacist. I knew I wanted to become a doctor so I went onto graduate with academic excellence from the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine and in fact, that’s where I first met Dr. Van Gaver 10 years ago as a first year student.
Unfortunately, I became ill and had to take a medical leave of absence that turned into years away from school and fighting to find the root cause of my now chronic pain. I moved from student to patient of Dr. Van Gaver’s undergoing his Neuro Recover IV addiction treatment as I had been prescribed a number of different painkillers including methadone, fentanyl and even ketamine.
I wanted help with tapering off of them while trying to ensure that the pain not spiral out of control. I’m thankful that with a number of different therapies including both conventional and naturopathic medicine, that I am able to manage my chronic condition. I am now living a full and vibrant life instead of watching from the sidelines.
I understand what it’s like to feel alone in your journey towards health and wellness which is why I promise to walk alongside you and help every step of the way so that you also feel like you’re living your life to the fullest.
In addition to being a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, I have certifications in Acupuncture, Prescriptive rights, IV and Chelation therapy including the Neuro Recover Addiction treatments.
I may not be Dr. Aaron Van Gaver, as he’s one of a kind and one of the best people I know.
I hope that you find value in being seen by me. I look forward to meeting you soon!

I am Brazilian and I have been living in Vancouver for the last 5 years. My first graduation was in physiotherapy and I was always fascinated by pelvic physiotherapy and sexual dysfunctions, in which I, later, got my specialization. My studies allowed me to see how the body works in its complexity and my specialization put me in contact with the universe of pregnancy, which I love and I have been working since 2010.
But I was not satisfied. I studied another 5 years and graduated in Osteopathy and Pediatric Osteopathy from the Madri School of Osteopathy.
I learned from the teachings of the creator of Osteopathy, Andrew T. Still, some philosophical principles. Some of them are:
1) “The unity of the human body”. If one of its systems is not working properly, this will cause the others to suffer;
2) “The structure governs the function”. What does not have its proper movement is not correctly employing its function; and
3) “Find it, fix it, and leave it alone”. Believe in the power of self-healing, because “the body has a natural ability to self-regulate and self-heal”.
What does all that mean? Well, it means that Osteopathy tries, with manual manipulations and minimum stimuli, to help the body heal itself. By this method, we can increase pacients’ well-being. We cannot forget that health is a combination of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being.
With all the new knowledge and experiences, my field of work opened up. I’ve been able to treat people from age zero up to 100, including high-performance athletes of the most diverse sports.
In 2018, I graduated in Osteopathy, got married, and moved to Canada.
In Vancouver, I had the opportunity to become a Doula by the DONA International Institute. So I started working, once again, with pregnant women, births, and a whole universe of challenges and achievements.
As an Osteopath or as a Doula, I care for all my patients having the Osteopathy philosophy as the base.
My goal is to intervene the least possible and leave the body to act in its maximum capacity to heal itself.
I am Brazilian and I have been living in Vancouver for the last 5 years. My first graduation was ...
