She is especially interested in women’s health and wellbeing — including emotional, cognitive and hormonal health.

As a counsellor, Silvana focuses on guiding the client to find empowerment and inner liberation from perceived limitations. She’s a strong believer in personal sovereignty, and the power of inner growth at any stage of life.

Silvana believes in merging heart and knowledge to create the solutions our world needs today. She is committed to individual and collective healing through enlightened spiritual, cultural, and social activism as a way of life.   

Patrick is passionate about health and wellness, but his path to supporting people with their health has been a non-traditional one. In his twenties, he became an all-natural bodybuilder (which he was for many years). During this time he began to conduct research into diet and nutrition in order to better achieve his personal goals. This is when he had the privilege of being mentored by Dr. Jonn Madsen, N.D. of Vancouver, Canada. This transformed his life. Subsequently, he pursued insight and training from many outstanding health professionals. This inspired a new understanding of what true well-being is, and how to acheive it.

Learning from the very best practitioners in the world was an extraordinary way to understand what it takes to recover and/or optimize your health. This not only served him well, but also his friends, family, and eventually his clients. Now, Patrick also counts Dr. Bruce Lipton, PhD, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, M.D., Dr. Peter Osborne, D.C., Dr. Michael Lam, M.D., M.P.H., and recently, Dr. Thierry Hertoghe as his greatest influences.

Patrick has also taken a wide range of courses and certifications in health and healing over the past 20 years (e.g., Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching, Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis, Mastering Functional Lab Testing Analysis, Biomagnetism, Bioregenerative Peptide Therapy, The Cutler Protocol (Metal Chelation Therapy) and much more. He has also had specific training in various technologies that can support recovery. Some of these include microcurrent applications , medical laser, Transcranial photobiomodulation, other forms of light therapy, etc.

Holism: At the core of Patrick’s approach to health is the understanding and application of holism. His greatest influence in this regard has been his wife and colleague, Silvana Spano. Her knowledge and understanding of this subject has now shaped every aspect of his approach to wellness, which has supported extraordinary outcomes even with most challenging cases.  

Optimal interpretation: Patrick has had an intense interest in functional blood chemistry analysis (FBCA) since 2011 when he was introduced to the pioneering work and training from Dr. Dicken Weatherby, N.D. and Dr. Scott Ferguson, N.D. His more recent influences in the “optimal interpretation” of blood include Sarah Gottfried, Isabella Wentz, and Westin Childs. Patrick believes that FBCA is a game changer when it comes to understanding what is out of balance, how long this has been at play, what systems and organs are impacted, the level of risk that exists, and what the best course of action is for recovery. He also uses functional ranges to interpret hair and urine tests.

"If it works, I train in it": Patrick continues to stay current with the latest innovations and applications in the world on integrative medicine/holism. In 2015 he received advanced training in chronic low level heavy metal poisoning, which can fly under the radar, and cause significant health issues that can be misdiagnosed and/or left unaddressed. In 2021 he added Peptide Therapy and additional training in CellCore toxin binding so he could better support his clients.

The support you need: Patrick is a lifelong learner and has lectured on health and healing throughout Canada, the United States, and South America. He attributes his success as a health practitioner to the comprehensive and detailed approach that he uses to understand exactly what is actually happening with someone's health, and then formulating a complete recovery program that can be understood, motivates, and yields the best possible results. "We have a miraculous capacity to heal, when we have the right supports." For greater insight into his results driven wellness support, see the testimonials on the home page and testimonials tab.

Adding to his medicine bag of healing modalities Dexter learned Ama-Deus, the 6000-year-old healing practice of the Guarani tribe of South America. He is a practitioner and instructor in this heart-based modality. In 2001 he moved to Guatemala to study Mayan healing traditions. Dexter spent 7 years studying with Tata Pedro Cruz, learning the traditional Tzutujil fire ceremony. He also lived with Vicenta Gonzales Navicoch and her family in San Pedro, Lake Atitlan, where he was trained to be a healer in her tradition. Dexter now practices and teaches the Mayan soul retrieval ceremonies he learned from his teacher, Vicenta.
