About Us
The HealthQuest Mission
Our quest is for your improved health. We will help you and your family regain your natural state of wellness. We believe that being healthy is more than just the absence of pain—true health is having the ability to do what you need and want to do in your life: to Live Well.
Through our newsletters and personal communication we aim to keep you informed about the latest scientific findings in nutritional, naturopathic, osteopathic and other fields of complementary medicine, and how we can integrate this information in order to enable you to regain and maintain your wellbeing.
We are helping people regain their quality of life and would love to include you on our list of successes.
The whole family can benefit from our therapies, from pre-conception to 100 years plus!
The HealthQuest Philosophy
The world of holistic health care has advanced tremendously over the last several years, helping us live longer and stay healthier. Through a mixture of technology, communication, and caring, we provide an atmosphere for your family to reach its optimum level of health by becoming reconnected with your inner healing wisdom—naturally. To improve your health we study and learn along with you, so that by advancing our knowledge together we can better serve you.

Tony was a competitive martial arts athlete,teacher and coach for many years with national and state titles to his name. In an effort to optimise his sports performance he utilised the benefits of clinical nutrition and appropriate supplements.
He is always happy to help out with any nutritional or naturopathic questions you may have in between consultations with Dr. Arletta Nikitiuk.
Tony also knows from personal experience the value of osteopathy, having suffered many injuries due to the full contact nature of his training. Injuries varied from the merely annoying toe, finger, wrist, and elbow injuries to the more serious and incapacitating back, neck, shoulder, and knee injuries. Fortunately he had the wisdom and foresight to marry an osteopath!
Tony and Arletta are happily married and proud parents to Matthew and James.
