Meet the Doctors

Dr. Colin Elkin, D.C.

I am Dr. Colin Elkin, Chiropractor, and all-around great guy. I have been in professional practice since 1993 and have seen thousands of patients during that time. As the owner of one of the busiest Chiropractic offices in Canada, I have made it my personal mission to see the health and well-being of my community improve, and am regularly in my community doing speaking engagements, hosting seminars, workshops, health screenings and consulting.

As a Wellness-based Chiropractor, my job has been to coach people into better lifestyles through regular Chiropractic care, Nutrition, Exercise, Stress and Time Management and Healthier relationships. I call it “Maximized Living” or a means by which my patients are able to reach their Inner Potential.

In my spare time, I love to coach one of my 4 boys’ Hockey team. I have been responsible for not only on-ice hockey skill development, but also off-ice athletic training, team-building and motivation, as well as off-ice education regarding health and nutrition. Many of these players and their families are regular chiropractic patients and have their spines and nervous systems checked on a frequent and regular basis.

It is not uncommon for me to adjust team players immediately before or after a practice or game, sometimes in full equipment while sitting on the bench. I have also spent a great deal of time with each of their parents discussing the importance of Chiropractic care, nutrition, and sport-specific training to increase their strength, flexibility, quickness, and overall health.

One of my passions is spending time with the team in a group setting discussing the mental aspect to the game and improving peak performance. This past year the team worked on expanding their belief system of their abilities as a team and as individuals. Reflecting on the incredible amount of hard-work, practice (on and off the ice), and self-discipline expands their self-belief, therefore enhancing their ability to become better at every situation, whether in hockey or in life.

Life has so much to offer, but to have a full human experience, we need to be functioning at our full potential 100% of the time. I can help you and your family achieve that.

Dr. Kim Pitblado, D.C.

A warm "hello" from Dr. Kim S. Pitblado!
Dr. Kim grew up in Oakville, Ontario, but made Brantford her home over 15 years ago. Dr. Kim graduated from Queen's University before attending The Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College where she met her husband, Dr. Colin Elkin. Dr.'s Kim and Colin are the very proud parents of 4 beautiful Chiropractic boys, who keep them incredibly busy ... but they wouldn't want it any other way!

Together they built Elkin Natural Health Centre with the goal of improving the health of families in Brantford and the surrounding area.

Since becoming a Dr. of Chiropractic in 1993, Dr. Kim has had the thrill of watching many people reclaim their health and therefore, their lives.  She has immense respect for those who have goals of optimal health for themselves and their families, whether newborn or aged.

Dr. Lianne Coombe, D.C.

A little information about myself:
I was born in Brantford Ontario and did most of my growing up in Simcoe Ontario.  I have been blessed with an amazing family that I am very close to.  My main hobbies include running the trails with my dog (Austin), biking, walking, weight lifting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors as much as possible.      

Wellness has always been a top priority in my life.  I learned very early on how important nutrition, exercise, and Chiropractic care are to one’s overall health and well being.  I have always been a very active person -- I competed in all sports in high school and attended university in Dallas Texas on a full athletic scholarship for track and field.  Upon returning from Texas, I attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College to become a Doctor of Chiropractic and also became a Certified Personal Trainer.  It has always been my goal to teach as many people as possible to live their life to the fullest and reach optimal health.    

I just want to say it is an absolute honor for me to become a member of Elkin Natural Health Centre.  The team here has such amazing positive energy and they are all focused on one thing “maximizing human potential”.  I’m excited to start working with the Brantford community and surrounding area on health and wellness and helping people achieve a level of health they never knew was possible.  I am looking forward to creating relationships with all my patients and helping them reach their health goals. I welcome all your referrals, including your friends and family members.
