IT ALL STARTS FROM WITHIN
Holistic Hygiene & Rising Wellness offers dental hygiene from the inside out, recognizing the deep connection between oral health and overall health. I focus on prevention, gentle care, and supporting a low‑inflammation, low‑acid environment so plaque and tartar struggle to form in the first place. Blending clinical expertise with a holistic, nature‑based approach, I partner with you to create a mouth and body where healthy bacteria thrive—and where your clean smile starts from within.
ABOUT ME
I’m Vanessa Gomez, a registered dental hygienist and lover of all things natural, reasonable, cultural, artsy, and well. Over the past few decades, I’ve served Ottawa’s community with oral and overall health at the forefront—through nutrition, mindfulness, and movement. Early in my career, I scaled teeth and specialized in orthodontics, then earned my independent practice designation from the CDHO in 2011. Along the way, I became certified in Yoga Movement Therapy and Thai Yoga Massage, hosted Self-Care Sundays, taught BIPOC women’s yoga with Yoga Unity, and ran a home-based clinic in Vanier.
Now, everything I’ve learned comes together at Holistic Hygiene & Rising Wellness. I offer licensed, super-personalized dental care—tooth scaling, root planing, polishing—with a natural, preventive approach, accepting insurance, CDCP, and legal tender (plus discounts for artists and uninsured families, as oral health is too often neglected until it’s urgent). Did you know gum disease links to heart disease and diabetes? I welcome open conversations on teeth, mouth, breath, jaw, and whole-body health within my scope. My wellness space is for women, artists, and entrepreneurs: yoga/movement and breathwork workshops, Thai massage, Thai Massage, meditation, Women’s Circles, rest, and tea to spark anti-inflammatory habits, self-love, sisterhood, and balance.
