About our location on the farm
We are located on the Bast family farm on the edge of the picturesque town of Wellesley (just a 20 minute drive from Kitchener Waterloo). The farm has been Organic for over 30 years and also has an agricultural business on site - Bio-Ag Consultants and Distributors. On the farm, you will see 15 alpacas (we can even give you something to feed them), and beef cattle. Murray Bast (Dr. Lindsay's father) started the agricultural business 35 years ago (in 1982). When people started asking him to treat them as well as their animals, he completed further training in homeopathy and also traveled to Germany to learn about darkfield microscopy and Biological Terrain Analysis. He started a separate clinic on the farm to treat people as a homeopath and passed this on to Lindsay in 2006 when he began practice as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine.
Analysis tools
We take the time to obtain a complete picture of your health to better understand your needs
In order to get this complete picture, Greenwood Wellness Clinic offers standard blood and urine testing and several additional testing options for patients. Several of these tests can be performed on site allowing for immediate interpretation of results.

Standard Laboratory Testing
Naturopaths can order blood tests including cholesterol, blood sugar, various hormones and much more. Tests can also be ordered for urine, stool and hair analysis as appropriate.
Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA)
BTA is a laboratory test that provides patients with valuable information about the underlying biochemistry of their bodies. This simple test analyzes small amounts of blood, urine and saliva. BTA analysis measures values called pH, redox and resistivity. This provides a great deal of information about the acidity and alkalinity of your body, whether the enzymes in your body are functioning properly, if digestion and absorption of vitamins and minerals are occurring adequately and the function of certain organ systems.

Darkfield Microscopy (Live Blood Cell Analysis)
In this simple in-office test a single drop of blood is viewed under a high power microscope. The shape, size, distribution and quality of the cells provides important information about vitamin and mineral deficiencies, immune status and certain organ function. The patient is able to view their own blood on a video monitor and observe changes before and after treatment.
Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA)
The BIA test is a simple, non invasive, painless procedure. By using a non-detectable, safe, low level electric current, this test can show the ratio of lean muscle to fat, as well as other important indicators such as the amount of intra-cellular and extracellular water.
