In 1992, Dr. David Rainham began Optimum Health Resources as an outlet to provide reading materials, education and information related to stress management.

As a Family Physician, Dr. Rainham found that the majority of patients with unpleasant and sometimes frightening symptoms had no specific disease but were suffering from anxiety and tension resulting from a wide variety of stresses.

Helping patient manage stress became a major part of his family medical practice. He began by teaching relaxation techniques and developed handouts and booklets to assist patients with recognizing and managing the stress in their lives.

As a natural evolution, towards serving specific client issues, the Optimum Health Centre was opened in 1997, as a joint venture of Dr. Rainham and Steve Ingle.

The Centre provides a private clinic setting for personal assessment and coaching on stress and the often related issues of weight management and pain

Programs Coordinator and Centre Owner Steve Ingle worked for 15 years in the broadcasting industry before making a career transition that supported his passion for health, wellness and personal development. He is Certified StressMap Consultant and Nutritionist and uses his knowledge of motivational coaching and workplace dynamics to help clients strive to reach their full potential in their personal and professional lives.

Steve is a member of Can-Fit Pro, Society of Wellness Integrated Specialist and is on the Program Advisory committee for the Fitness and Health Promotion program at Conestoga College, Steering Committee of the Waterloo Region Active Living Network and the Board of Directors of the Kitchener-Waterloo Skating Club.

The Optimum Health Centre continues to grow as we offer additional workplace programs, align with congruent health care practitioners and continue to recommend and provide access to a variety of resources.
